I'm leaning toward crap.

I don't think I have any interest in watching a film about an old man chasing a pigeon and then falling into quicksand only to read later on imdb that it was a metaphor for communist Russia.

I've had a rough couple of days and this statement has brought tears of laughter to my eyes.

Bad metaphors = CRAP

Good metaphors = sublime beauty

Don't blame Snap-On because your dumbshit mechanic forgot to tighten those lug nuts.

All is metaphor. It's brain science. You could look it up.

My mom has pretty bad allegories. Benadryl helps a little bit.



As far as Metaphors, I think it's cruel to stab bulls like that. Fucking ponces. I like the record label though.

metaphors: i can't tell you what i really mean, so allow me to make a weird comparison.

i dated some weird hippie girl once who spoke in metaphors/allegories. i finally asked her why she couldn't just say what she meant in those terms. she got really mad. she smelled funny anyway.
