I feel we've come closer as a community through this.
Except koobie I guess.

Like at least if you're going to act the fool like me and some other folks, grow a thick skin about it. Wasn't that what you told tibby to do? Grow a thick skin? Because your skin is real thin, koobie.

N.B. the breaking point was telling him that he wrote a bad simile. el oh el.

TL;DR: If this is how you're going to be, please go back to your echo chamber.


This. This is the only reason for giant word blocks.

It's like you didn't read, at all, what you quoted.

USING "LIKE" OR "AS" = SIMILE
USING "IS" OR UH LET ME SEE "IS" = OH GOD IS THAT A METAPHOR MY WORLD IS A GLASS JAR

I can use the word "like" as much as I want, doesn't make every sentence a simile. See? I just did. Therein lies the difference. You gotta actually make a legitimate comparison between somethings or it's not a simile.

I sort of wonder what the lack of legs has to do with anything

Quote:
It is, however, a poor simile, since talking to a donkey with legs would also be an exercise in futility, so the state of the creature's limbs really has nothing to do with the comparison being made.

Quote:
There might be some intended reference to 'talking the hind leg off a donkey', there. It would be futile to try to do that with a legless donkey. But it's a poor simile, yes.


Uh oh! Koobie's got three new mortal enemies!

I am honestly surprised with how much free time some people have.

The point that I think some people are missing (alan, koobie) is that we are not literally suggesting it isn't a simile, we are suggesting that it is a "simile" in the same sense that The Room is a "film". I'm sure you're all proud of you'reselves for remembering the elementary school definition and all, but simile is fundamentally a rhetorical technique for expressing specific meaning, and by that standard Koobie's simile is without any merit.

What do you get out of "talking to you is like talking to a legless donkey"?


  • Well donkeys are stubborn, but... er
  • They don't really understand speech.
  • Does that mean I don't understand speech? Is that what he's saying?
  • What does being legless have to do with it?
  • Is this a donkey who understands speech, and would otherwise comply, but can't because it has no legs?
  • Is he saying that I am willing but incapable of doing something?
  • What is this? I don't even

>>What do you get out of "talking to you is like talking to a legless donkey"?

YOU GET NOTHING OUT OF TALKING TO A LEGLESS DONKEY. Which is exactly what I get out of talking to you.

This is like pushing your refrigerator around your phone booth.
If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

You are right, the conversation is a little dry. But the SEX is amazing. Most donkey's try to kick or run away, not the legless ones. :huh:

o yea it's so terrible. not like UT2k4, which is basically the same exact game with swimmier physics. of course neither holds a candle to UT2k3.
2013-10-18, 4:40 PM #68
ut99 peak ut
2013-10-18, 4:41 PM #69
