Explanation of Game: Analogies are written in simile form using "like" or "as".
Item/Expression 1 is like Item/Expression 2, explanation of likeness.
The next poster takes the second Item/Expression and makes another analogy from it.

Example:

First Poster: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
Next Poster: A box of chocolates is like a vacation, you only end up enjoying half of it.
Next Poster: A vacation is like sex, you should try something a little different each time.
And so on...

Try not to return to a previously used Item/Expression, but if you do, you cannot duplicate the explanation of the likeness. Also, no reusing of Item/Expression pairs regardless of order. Any violation of the above rules can be pointed out by the next poster, and that poster has the option of starting a new analogy. If the rules are broken and the subsequent poster doesn't catch it, play continues.

Now to get started, with a tip o' the hat to xkcd 636

Sex is like a velociraptor, despite your movie-fueled lifelong neurotic obsession, unlikely to be found in your house.

by **[username]** » Thu May 10, 2012 4:10 pm UTC

A velociraptor is like a robot: Interesting in theory but absolutely murderous in practice.

by **JBJ** » Thu May 10, 2012 4:45 pm UTC

A robot is like Kristen Stewart, totally lacking emotional expression.

by **[username]** » Thu May 10, 2012 5:00 pm UTC

Kristen Stewart is like a clock, two hands and only one face.

I feel bad making basically the same comment twice. But then I justify it by realising that she has no ~~other~~ traits.

by **JBJ** » Thu May 10, 2012 5:29 pm UTC

A clock is like a politician, you can have a whole bunch of them and no two will say the same thing.

by **Badion** » Thu May 10, 2012 7:09 pm UTC

a politician is like a blind dog, both shit wherever they want.

by **Sean Quixote** » Thu May 10, 2012 8:08 pm UTC

A blind dog is like a dead horse, as both get kicked a lot.

by **Adam H** » Thu May 10, 2012 8:39 pm UTC

Dead horse is like Natalie Portman's shaved head, both are bands.

by **JBJ** » Thu May 10, 2012 8:43 pm UTC

Natalie Portman's shaved head is like a genie's lamp, my wishes would come true by rubbing them.

by **Badion** » Fri May 11, 2012 7:48 pm UTC

a genies lamp is like a cigarette, lots of smoke, a good feeling and then regret.

by **Snark** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:02 pm UTC

A cigarette is like a wolf, both come in packs and are dangerous to put in your mouth.

by **mind404** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:13 pm UTC

A wolf is like my ex girlfriend, Liam Neeson is the only one who can save you from them.

by **[username]** » Sat May 12, 2012 9:14 am UTC

mind404's ex-girlfriend is like this game: A complete waste of time, but says things perfect for repeating out of context.

I think. I haven't met her.

by **t1mm01994** » Sat May 12, 2012 10:21 am UTC

This game is like facebook: There's a lot of "likes", but not really a point

by **[username]** » Sat May 12, 2012 10:47 am UTC

Facebook is like a Stephen Hawking impersonation convention: A place for people to pretend to be smart without even saying anything.

by **Lawsome** » Sat May 12, 2012 4:35 pm UTC

A Stephen Hawking impersonation Conversation is like a furry convention in that if you walk in on one you may laugh but will feel awkward after doing so.

by **Adam H** » Tue May 15, 2012 8:22 pm UTC

A furry convention is like Lawsome's reading fail; I'm not sure how to respond when confronted with them.

by **KrazyerKate** » Tue May 15, 2012 9:17 pm UTC

Lawsome's reading fail is like an orgasm from a vibrating bicycle seat. Unexpected, but totally understandable.

by **t1mm01994** » Tue May 15, 2012 9:17 pm UTC

Lawsome's reading fail is like the Diablo 3 release; something went wrong, but no-one really cares.

by **KrazyerKate** » Tue May 15, 2012 9:19 pm UTC

The Diablo 3 release was like Rick Astley. Sort of a big deal for the internet.

by **Adam H** » Tue May 15, 2012 9:32 pm UTC

Rick Astley is like a vibrating bicycle seat; neither are strangers to love.

by **t1mm01994** » Tue May 15, 2012 9:50 pm UTC

A vibarating bicycle seat is like a depth gauge; fine in itsself, but I'd doubt the owner if it's actually on a bike

by **Lawsome** » Wed May 16, 2012 2:52 pm UTC

A depth gauge is like a existential hippie, capable of being very deep at moments but useless if high.

by **Snark** » Sat May 19, 2012 1:37 am UTC

An existential hippie is like a UFO sighting, the only real ones were in the sixties.

by **KrazyerKate** » Sat May 19, 2012 2:47 am UTC

a UFO sighting is like a computer hardware store. Lots of mysterious disks.

by **[username]** » Mon May 21, 2012 12:51 am UTC

A computer hardware store is like a school's music room: Visited by all sorts of people, but only a select few can fully enjoy it.

Also there's the keyboards and mice thing.

by **matt96** » Mon May 21, 2012 12:58 am UTC

a school's music room is like disability benefits, everyone pays for it, but only some people use it.

by **[username]** » Mon May 21, 2012 1:09 am UTC

Disability benefits is like marriage: matt96 really doesn't need to worry about it yet

by **Snark** » Mon May 21, 2012 1:43 am UTC

Marriage is like dating, but with tax benefits.

by **KrazyerKate** » Mon May 21, 2012 2:37 am UTC

Dating is like sex, but with emotional benefits.

by **FCN** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:58 am UTC

Sex is like a mirror, since they both multiply the numbers of man.

by **KrazyerKate** » Mon May 21, 2012 3:53 pm UTC

A mirror is like a marathon: it makes me feel insecure about my fitness.

by **Badion** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:03 pm UTC

A marathon is like going to war. you do it to prove a point most people could careless about.

by **eculc** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:15 pm UTC

Going to war is like a new product: good for business.

by **Lawsome** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:19 pm UTC

A new product is like disasters in third world counties. Apple makes too many of them.

by **Badion** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:29 pm UTC

Disasters in third world countries are like the game Monopoly, after two hours people stop caring about it.

by **eculc** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:34 pm UTC

The game monopoly is like the olympics, It's too long for people to sit through the whole thing.

by **Lawsome** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:43 pm UTC

The olympics is like the queen. Won't be in england for much longer.

by **Radical_Initiator** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:47 pm UTC

The queen is like a racehorse: the product of years of careful breeding for no practical purpose.

by **eculc** » Mon May 21, 2012 4:48 pm UTC

A racehorse is like a sports car: goes really fast and useful for showing off.
