They Didn't Think Their Metaphor Through
« on: August 07, 2017, 07:06:06 PM »
I think they didn't think their metaphor all the way through.  :laugh:

Edit: Metaphor, not meataphor. Though meataphor sounds kinda cool. :)

The first two could get you killed.  I'm sure that's the analogy they were going for....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

just Warren

I guess being asexual is more dangerous than I would have thought.

Airline safety is just a social construct.

Nice metaphor: two of those combinations are functionally useless.
Well, yeah in that way, the analogy works pretty well.

Why not just half the belt, a warm bath and candles?

Will my belt click on those Asian airlines?

That looped one that the flight attendant holds up, is she trying to tell us to go ___ ourselves?

I like belt extenders, is there a site for that?

Better stay off Twitter, little alcohol and I could be banned.

So my curiosity made me go to the link. Took me about ten seconds to "catch" that in the image.

Snorted snot out my schnozz.

Gettin' slow in my sensa yuma neuron package.

But I kinda like it more when I don't get something right away and have to think it over.
