A language game

[erratio]

1) Pick a complex concept/object/person
2) Pick a common/simple object/concept/person
3) You have a couple of seconds in which to make an analogy that somewhat makes sense OR if you want to play it multiplayer, everyone takes turns coming up with an analogy, the sillier the better. The analogy must involve likening the complex thing to the other thing.
4) Everyone votes on how good it was.
5) GOTO 1

Today's post brought to you by being bored at the bus stop. Incidentally, at the same bus stop I saw a random sticker saying "the Earth is lonely"

Postmodern writing is the bitter rind in the orange marmalade of literature.

Planning to keep the Earth company?

Or was that a comment about the lack of coherence in my post?

It could go either way at this point

It was taking part in the game! Complex subject (postmodern writing) compared to simple object (rind in orange marmalade). Yeah?

Haha i lose. Much sadness. Yeah that's about it, I just didn't recognise your format at first.

Sadness is like an expensive car, it costs too much to keep but makes you seem cool and attractive to the opposite sex.

I like yours even better. We could begin a book of aphorisms.
