Re: Random Thought Thread

Can someone make me a metaphor comparing a basketball to an abstract noun?

I can't think of a good one to make.

You can't compare basketball to an abstract noun per se. What makes sense as an answer to your question might be something like:

His grace on the court is like a ballerina on the grand stage.

"Grace" being the abstract noun, and "ballerina on the grand stage" being the metaphor.

Given my example, you can probably come up with something better all the way around :)
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

Seeing as though from here on out I refuse to post anywhere other than the RTT; GMJ's, KC's, Shake's, and Yinka's threads; I shall address this here:

LMFAO that post was epic. I don't even know what the hell he's talking about for half of it. Then he quotes the Joker to put a cherry on top at the end.

I'm hungover too. Still got nasty beer shits but the headache and general grossness is gone by now. Nothing cures a hangover like Quiznos.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

See that's what I'm talking about. Thoth makes a rebuttal in a locked thread. What's the deal with that????

Same here, but I still have a headache. I'm chugging a gallon of water right now and ate a couple of eggos. No big surprise here: it's not helping too much.

It's a solid strategy for anyone who doesn't like to be disagreed with I guess?
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

I just find it funny that he calls Cpaw a hypocrite. Then says he wouldn't want NFL players sing the word "ass". But he doesn't seem to mind using cursewords.

thoth said:
Cpaw ...w/ his world famous hypocritical do as I say not as I do attitude.

Thoth said:
I believe that it's inappropriate for the nfl to be putting on programming during the 6 o'clock hour where guys are singing, "get your *** back in bed." if that makes me 1950's, then i'll take that. I believe that responsible adults understand that there is a time and place for things and they don't subject little kids that that type of behavior, language and/or images.

thoth said:
Holy Crap! I'm gone a week & its on again.... its scorched earth for you morons. For example...

Next, the thread title is colorful but the whole crux of the matter is that 1) Usher is so 2003, 2) Roger G is an idiot and is more worried about perception of the league than anything else...

... The resulting controversy is more cash generating crap.

but We are on an Internet Forum, people expect curse words every now and then. And that NFL broadcast was live TV displayed to the whole nation + Other countries. Stop Nit-Picking at stupid things.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

So I had a tennis tournament yesterday. It was my first varsity game. I was playing ranked #5 and I won 8-7 (7-4) in tiebreaker!

It is ok. I'm a big boy and lots of people say lots of untrue things about me. I'm an easy target because I have strong opinions.

Just exchange your strong opinions for strong onions, and you will cement your status as the coolest guy in town. Just like Johnny here,

Re: Random Thought Thread

Aren't metaphors supposed to be longer than 3 words?
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

Re: Random Thought Thread

What about if you say
"Basketball is excitement"

Not a metaphor.

Basketball actually is excitement (or boring to some). In order to make a metaphor, you have to compare it to something else (like a ballerina in my example). Granted, my example may not have been an ideal comparison, though it works.
