back One day I was sitting in a rather large couch that was quite uncomfortable. I started to use it as a metaphor for everything I could think of... or just dating, which is what I was thinking of. But I remembered having earlier that month made an incredible amount of train metaphors. I remembered making the metaphors and then keeping with them until they just went to far. Like comparing dinner to a train. When you're eating, you're riding the train. When you're done, you get off. This comparisson is simple enough, but I continued to take it too far: If you're sitting in the caboose, you're eating desert. And if you start in the caboose and walk all the way up to the engine, then you are starting with desert and working your way to the appetizer. Simply put. I wanted to make seemingly rational metaphors go crazy far -- stretch them for as much meaning as I could concieve. The dating scenarios just came to me on that couch and later waiting for a girl to finish using my microwave. I'm just lucky I guess. Pity Hugs Mercy Kisses back to PH&MK main
