Subject: Metaphors and similies for Bungie.net (Thx Sigma)

I was reading one of Saint Joan's posts and VII Toast started talking about metaphors for Bungie.net and I thought we could use a thread to post our metaphors for Bungie.net and explain what you mean by it.

Some of mine were

A Bungie.net thread is like an a inflattable raft loaded with porcupines, if one porcupine get pushed and falls the whole raft pops and sinks and everyone dies.
^In threads, one bad comment from someone can ruin it^

One I just through of by reading the two posts.

Bungie is like a raft full of porcupines (the Porcupines being Bungie, the raft being a thread). If the Porcupines pop the raft, and everyone dies (the thread gets locked) The porcupines just float down the river, till they are placed in a new raft.

Yes, porcupines float.

^ Bungie lives on, even after a thread gets thrashed ^

Bungie.net is like being trapped in a box for eight hours. Your only companions are two sock puppets and a flashlight.

Bungie.net is like the special olympics, your either the person that coordinates it and judges it or you are one of the people competing in it.

Also, Arguing on the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win your still retarded.

Because all but one post use the word "like" in their "metaphors." "Like" and "as" are used in similes, not metaphors. In a metaphor, one word is used to signify another entirely.

Example:
Simile - The sun was like a torch, ready to set the world ablaze as it came closer and closer to the planet.
Metaphor - The sun was a torch, ready to set the world ablaze as it came closer and closer to the planet

The examples may not be all that great, but I believe I got my point across... I hope. :-P

I have a poem not a metaphor! I hope you like it! Msg. me to tell me what you think

The bullet flies throught the air!
It hits the Elitles skull
and blood splaters everywhere!
The Elite is dead!

The small Grunt falls flat on it's face!
As Master Cheif beats it to death
with a Battle Rifle I guess.
The Grunt is dead!

The puny little Jackal runs away!
As Master Cheif pepares to blow it away!
BOOM!
The Jackal is dead!

The Brute turns his back
and gets smacked with a pistol !
Afterwards you can hear Master Cheif whistle.
The Brute is dead!

The Prophets all stand tall!
But Master Cheif blows them away!
It only took one rocket!
I'm serious that's all!
The Prophets are dead!

The Covenant are defeated!
The Human Race rejoices!
But in the sahdows
an enemy approaches.
Oh no its the flood!

What would Master Cheif do?
Probably use a nuke.
Hell, would'nt you?
The Flood are dead!

Semantics. I took liberties with "metaphor" to mean "most kinds of descriptive gymnastics."

I think good poems rhyme, but I think a lot.

(Similie)
Bungie.net is like a melting pot of people, the fire is fueled by flammers.

(Poem for ObbiQuiet)

Roses are Red
Violets are blue
I think my poem is better than Obbi's
How bout you?

I simply ask, "Which poem?"
To which you cannot reply,
For I have not given a totem,
Over which you will weep and cry.

Moderators are like the laws of physics, if you try to break the rules and fly, you'll just get hurt, thus only proving your an idiot.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

bungie.net is a room full of ticking time bombs, strapped with C4 and everyone's aiming their rocket launcher at someone else's bomb. That bomb goes off and the whole room explodes in a shower of ninjas and dead bodies.

^Someone always pisses off someone, who in turn flames them, turns the whole thread into a huge flamewar, evreyone gets involved, and in the end the mods come in and beat the crap out of people with the lesson bat^

P.S. Wow, that sucked.
