analogies

i really love analogies. maybe it's the fact that they have the word anal, maybe it's the fact that they have the word log, who knows. although now that i've titled it i'm not sure if it's as much an analogy as a metaphor.

one that really sticks out was describing how steiner and eunji hooked up at the halloween party. that whole guided missile thing for steiner came from the party when matt isanuk brought his friends to a party of at EC. i still feel bad because i asked his friends for money for a beer run, but i didn't know at the time that they were about to leave. where did all that beer go? they must have thought me a jerk... although you need a jerk to shake the guests down for beer money. asian parties must be so much easier to supply. anyways, at some point steiner was gone, and someone suggested to him that he go over and talk to one of isanuk's female friends. he just took steiner and pointed him in a direction, and he was off. guided missile.

so usually at a party there's just one missile aimed at some target. pick-upper, pick-upee. that's why it was so great that steiner was fired directly at some sort of slut-nuke. no offense, eunji. two guided missiles! the dance, tao, the dance.

i suppose that i'm about to draw an analogy right now, between guided missiles and train wrecks. so normally you need two people to be a train wreck. what happens when an individual qualifies as a one-person train wreck? and what happens when that train wreck hits another person, which would under normal conditions create the two-person train wreck? is it some sort of train pile-up? heh, are there missile trains, or am i thinking of bullet trains? cuz then you could have a guided missile train wreck.
