Oh. Got it. How about Long Division?

One of chris walla's hard to get your head around they're so damn clever metaphor's for mathematics.

How is Long Division difficult to get your head round?
|

|

i've said it before, gibbard gets carried away with his extended metaphors sometimes. twin size bed is a perfect example.

Awh, I like that song. It's one of my favorites. |

|
|

i like it too. but just a side criticism.
idk. maybe i've just been listening to the hold steady too much lately. I've become to accustomed to unbelievably straightforward words. --------------------------- grom‧well /ˈgrɒmwəl/ –noun any of various often hairy plants of the genus Lithospermum, of the borage family, usually bearing white or yellowish flowers and smooth, white, stony nutlets. |

I wouldn't say Twin-Sized Bed is really a metaphor...
|
|||
|
|
|
??? the only way it couldn't be is if he is literally only talking about a twin size bed. I guess there may be a real twin size bed in the story, but the song isn't about bedz. --------------------------- grom‧well /ˈgrɒmwəl/ –noun any of various often hairy plants of the genus Lithospermum, of the borage family, usually bearing white or yellowish flowers and smooth, white, stony nutlets. |

That's not really a metaphor so much as subtext, methinks. A sophism of madness... |

|
|
|
okay, now we're just getting into semantics.
