Could you make it through an entire day without stating a metaphor?

[LaraMN]

I mean dead metaphors, too.

I have determined that there is no way in hell I can do so.
I tried to do it this morning and it was IMPOSSIBLE.

Try it. It's really hard.

:crazy:

1. Darmok and Galad at Tenagra.

[LaraMN]

3. Is that some form of dorkspeak?

I am unschooled thusly.

[billyskank]

5. Well I *am* a dork

n'est-ce pas?

[LaraMN]

6. Oui. Moi aussi.

Which means I SHOULD know what you're talking about...

[billyskank]

7. Your homework for tonight, then

[LaraMN]

4. Yeah. It's impossible.

[Patiod]

14. That's my all time favorite movie line

even though Jeff Goldblum gives me a headache.

Michael: I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex.
Sam Weber: Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex.
Michael: Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?

[SKKY]

12. Sure, I'll give it a shot...

...fuck! That is hard.

[LaraMN]

13. SEE?!

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Meh

It'd be a walk in the park.

[LaraMN]

17. Yeah- a piece of cake.

Easy as pie.

How is pie "easy"?

[Oeditpus Rex]
