There might be quite a story going on here ...

@AlexanderVI @Natasha_Jay I dunno, it seems a little fishy to me…But maybe the picture is worth a thousand words, like in a shaggy dog story? These seem to be muddy plays on words.

Sorry, I'll stop now.

@Natasha_Jay "You might be wondering how we ended up this way…"
*record scratch*
"It all started when I spotted a fish flapping on the mudflats and decided to take a closer look…"

@Natasha_Jay After staring at that stupid shoe for quite some time I *finally* see the *real* foot
As someone else commented… this should be a statue, but one that you can see the “ mud” clearly

@Natasha_Jay Doggo being carried like the triumphant warrior she/he is, holding the spoils of war... at least in doggo's mind. All we need here is a crown of laurel.

No comment on what human is thinking.

Looks like a messy fishing technique.

The more I look, the more there is to see.

The mud only being on the man's back side tells me he definitely slipped in the mud and fell backwards, at some point. I'm guessing (as my dog would have done this to me) that a leash was involved.

@keira_reckons I think the shoe thing is that at some point during the excitement, his foot slipped entirely through the loop across his sandal, which subsequently worked it's way up his calf. Seems legit. @Natasha_Jay

@katyswain @keira_reckons @Natasha_Jay That picture goes back to at least 2019, so not AI generated.

I like his left slipper around his lower leg.

@the_turtle I recall seeing this image several years ago, before genai was a thing

[nini@oldbytes.space]

@snaptophobic @zenkat @Natasha_Jay That does follow, they look like the open-toe style like a Birkenstock.
