I don't see anything in the metaphor, mostly because it isn't a metaphor.

Maybe it's a reference or some odd little play on words and I don't get it. But it sure as hell isn't a metaphor.

So in real life you're not all poncy and precious?

The Max-Vinth parallels are uncanny. It's like that whole Lincoln-Kennedy phenomenon. It will probably prove a lot more astonishing once I find out what the parallels are.
They WILL be uncanny I can promise you... seriously.

See, now, THAT's the 'fiber' I'm talkin' about.

you know, when the... pressure...

gets it all... cooked and junk.

The One and Only... · #29

The comparison was between the similiarity of pressure and the heat that comes from cooking.

But the real joke comes from the fact that this is a thread making fun of your wordplay.

That's where the irony comes in.

Hah!!! My genius has allowed me to BS my way out of stupid comments yet again!!!

Did I just post that out loud...???

Swing and a miss, buddy.

So, ah poorly constructed non metaphor about heat and cooking is ironic becuase my writting by contrast is... Good?

See, to bullshit your way out of something, you need to look LESS stupid at the end.

Irony is, say, when someone makes a thread to make fun of someone else, yet it is the thread author who's made to look the fool, by his own witless hand; like you, in this case.

Irony is not something you use to press the creases out of your pants, you dumb-ass.

Burbank might have gotten it, but I doubt it.

The joke is that even though I'm criticizing someone else, my own writting is worse. Which is ironic, and done on purpose.

And no, it probably wasn't so much a metaphor as it was a horrible abuse of dialectical meanings.

Oh boy.... he's finally slipping into Vinny-like behavior. "Yes, I wrote poorly ON PURPOSE to be FUNNY and IRONIC, even though I have NO GRASP of what IRONY MEANS!"

*cuckoo*

Next stop, Lithiumville.

"I doubt any of you would be able to kill me"

-I like a challenge.

Anyone who says something along the lines of 'It was all a big joke! And you fell for it!' is generally devoid of any kind of sense of humour.

mburbank · #38

Okay. So. The very best spin we could put on this is that it was self deprecating humor.

There is nothing to 'get'.

A 'horrible abuse of dialectical meanings.' is a very dignified label to give bad writting.

I guess your claim is that is was deliberate.

In which case we'd have to see the title of your thread as being sincere.

So thanks.
