It was in splinters. I had to replace it, and let me tell you, it was no mean feat. Have you ever tried replacing a metaphor?

I replaced one with a simile once. It was like rain on my wedding day.

Not by any definition of irony that I'm familar with.

And perhaps that is the greatest irony of all.

Didn't you get the memo?

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'll have you know, that song has been going through my head for hours since you said "it was like rain on my wedding day."

"It's like rayeeeaaaaaaiiiiiin on your wedding day,
A free riiiiiiiiide when you've already paid,
Some good adviiiiiiiiiice thatcha just didn't taaaaaake--
Who would've thought? It figuuuuuures....."

You can't honestly think I missed a reference to a song that I was the first to reference?

Well, your comment seemed to imply that you had. Stacer and I were rattling off further lines of the song, and then you seemed to take it literally.

It was a logical conclusion.

Similes are easy Fell. Replacing metaphors is not like or as anything you have done before.

It rained on my wedding day.

Actually, isn't that supposed to be good luck? Perhaps that's why the song says that it is ironic--because it's an old wives tale that rain on your wedding day is good luck (just like it is an old wives tale that you're supposed to have something borrowed, something blue, something old, and something new)--but who really wants rain on their wedding day, lucky or not? No one.

I think the superstition was made up to appease the people who have rain on their wedding day. Some old wife said, "Well, that's a bit unpleasant. Hey! I know! I'll tell them rain on a wedding day is good luck. And because I'm a wise old woman, they'll believe me."
