You have got to start eating other things besides pizza or you will become just
as round as your ID pic, if not already.

Don't forget, or forgo your yoghurt intake too. Need to maintain that gut-biome,
it's more important than most realize, Jason. Foremost, in bolstering the
immune system

That said, a quality pizza diet, together with real yoghurt, will
keep you healthy and by extension, with us here for a long time

The Iguana is the Duracell Bunny?  Be careful when mixing metaphors

The Iguana is the Duracell Bunny?  Be careful when mixing metaphors

Actually, Iggy himself, is not "The Iguanas" plural

He’s called “The Iguana,” shortened as “Iggy,” because he was one of The Iguanas. 
“One of” is singular.


  Which in turn,
were not metaphorically mixed with the individual that is the Duracell
Bunny, that you're efforting as "mixed metaphors" It's simply
comparative and frankly pretty good

A comparative is an adjective or adverb in the comparative degree (“faster” is
the comparative of “fast”).
You wanted to use the word comparison, synonymous with simile.

Using the word “iguana” to qualify a human being is a metaphor.
Saying “he’s like an iguana” is a simile.

Saying “X is the Y of the Z” is a metaphor.
Saying “X is like Y of the Z” is a simile.

You both might be surprised how well some very public people, privately
do take care of themselves We ALL are concern about well-being and longevity.
After all, mortality scares the crap out of every mortal, regardless of power
and/or influence.
