Behold!



Bear



Bare

Don't use bare when you mean bear! As in "Dean could not bear the guilt. Any guilt. All the guilt. Guilt over all the things." He does not bare the weight of all that guilt.

I mean it. Stop doing that.

No see, they are similar but VERY different. Atlas is bearing the world on his shoulders and Beard is just bare, meaning he bears nothing. See? Mostly I couldn't find a good picture of Atlas clothed. *shrugs*

And Atlas does look a bit like a Bear there, doesn't he? All muscular and hairy, yummmm....

I'm sorry, I'm just laughing myself silly here. :D

Oh, I got it eventually. It just took a while of slow, loud gear-grinding. Then I was like, "why didn't she pick a clothed man holding something heavy...?"

Then I said to myself, "hey, self, why the hell are you complaining about there being MORE naked men?"

I didn't admit this in the first comment, but after 'bear' of the grizzly variety, my next thought was 'bear' of the hairy gay man variety. Finally, my brain supplied the actual use of 'bear' that you were referring to.

Mmm bear. Mmm bare.
