Pfft. They’re not on the team!
Marvelous.
Larry instructs them on what to do and how to do it, but he damned sure isn’t going to do the work for ‘em. This ain’t no kindergarten and that ain’t Larry.
Humans do nothing.
The dog is forced to work.
Larry acts selflessly.
Is this image from Dōgen?
yep! aka “Zen”. Several copies were on youtube last I checked.
I’m on team Larry!
But he is emphatically not on the team
Odds are he’ll get one eventually! Go on Larry!
Larry can smell the truffles. That’s why he digs in the clean ground. Don’t wanna accidentally touch one of those!
He’s not digging for truffles, he’s digging for holes. And he’s amazing at it!
Found another one! An unbroken streak.
His 100% hit rate is truly amazing. He has never dug up a not-hole!
The secret is now known! There should be some kinda expression for that.
I wonder if he’s actually showing them something else… 10x better than any truffle. Something marvelous, of which they are unaware the importance since they are not cats
And if he always found them what kind of team morale would that make for?
Exactly. He’s boosting the dog’s confidence. Not all heroes wear capes.
I’m betting Larry is reporting back to the handler’s “handler”.
Day 13
The hooman still thinks I’m trying to work for him. The fool actually believes my feigned incompetence! Amusing.
The dog is still not fully receptive of my pro-union stance, but he is beginning to ask questions. I believe that with a little more time, he will come around. Once I’ve established him as my first canine ally, the others will be more amenyable.
Lastly, the hooman has been very stingy with the treats! This is unacceptable. It will be the first item on the agendya after we unionyaize.
Signed,
“Larry”
There’s never been a team that hasn’t, at some point, had a member who produced nothing of value. That’s Larry. He’s on the team.
And the team has someone who contributes nothing but takes all the product of the labour, the human.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Larry is a volunteer. The rule of taking in volunteers is that should there be no volunteers the core service shouldn’t be affected.
Of course Larry knows how to dig. He puts the “truffles” in the ground and buries them for you to find.
Larrys goals are beyond your meagre understanding
Is that how you spell that!?
“Properly” its spelt like that. TIL its meager in American English.
Its gray and grey all over again.
Spelt, like the bread?
Teams are a Venn diagram. Larry is on team “dig holes” and, to him, all this business about finding something is just pulling away from Larry’s message.
Larry is my spirit animal
I’m loving all this support for Larry in the comments. I’m on team Larry.
In a world full of trained truffle dogs, be a Larry.
Larry is emotional support :3
Larry does it for love of the game.
He just wants to play too
