These are all unusual representations of words, phrases or things. Can you figure them out? One posted answer per person, please.






The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

5. point blank or blank period think


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

I also like "missing the point" but that's not my answer. I may even change the gif a little to better represent what I want. smile
