Alright, somewhere in the Emporor Thread, somebody mentions a friend they once had who could metaphorically relate absolutely any object to life.

The example he used was, "Life is like a cigarrette. You inhale, you exhale. A momentary passing pleasure, but all the while, it's slowly killing you."

Welll, I don't know whether or not this is already a thred, but...

"Life is like a doorknob. Grab hold of it, and it'll turn for you...but just before it comes full circle, it stops and opens the door to someplace new."

Someone else do "life is like a dictionary..."

Life is like Vanilla Ice, you can't really remember it and when you ask someone to remind you what it was all about, you get all embarrassed and wish you were dead.

Life is like an empty can of Diet Coke. You lift it up to your lips expecting to be satisfied and refreshed, but you are invariably disappointed.

Life is like a paper clip...you start at the start, and it doesn't matter if or how you bend it, cut it, or leave it alone, you always end up at the end with everyone else.

Life is like a basket...no matter how much you fill it up with, once it breaks, you lose it all.

Seeing as Vendetta don’t reada tha rules, I’m turning this back into a game:

Life is like a dictionary. You try to find meaning and you end up meandering.

Thanks for noticing that it's a game, heh...

Life is like a plate of beans...accept it at face value, and it just looks like vomit, like nothing you'd ever want to touch...but look more closely at it, and, sure, it's gross, but at least it's more or less interesting.

"Life is like the colour orange..."

Life is like a snowflake, it's cold and fragile and when it falls it's lost amongst billions of others in a mound that will just melt or sublime away.

Life is like a folk music festival. It sucks, but you always end up staying as long as you can waiting for something good that just might come. It doesn't get any better and in the end you feel like crying.

Life is like a forest. Count to tree and it's gone.

No really,
Life is like a forest. You walk around enjoying youself until you suddenly realize you're lost. Then you start crying for help but no one comes. In the end you give up searching for an exit and start meandering again, enjoying yourself, lost, alone, and yet utterly content.

Life is like a bad thread at the Cult, it starts out all full of hope and dreams of good times, but disintegrates into bickering and fighting over the purpose of its existence.

Life is like a fishing rod: people say that the longer it is, the better it is. That isn't always true.

The same goes for "life is like a penis".

Life is like a sofa - it starts out all nice and comfortable, and with time as everything gets worn in and faded away, eventually you're just thrown out on the street for the trashman to haul you off.

Life is like a hotel room.......

To be fair, you combined it with the burning of puppies, which is nothing if not an interesting twist.

Life is like torture... you're tied up naked inside a rowboat and covered with honey and milk so you get eaten alive by bugs over a period when you're pushed out into the swamp, but you still won't tell the river pirates where the diamonds are buried, because you're confident the hero will come and save you towards the end.

Life is like an almond, you get plucked from your home on the tree, then you get mixed in with some shit that actually turns out to be chocolate. Then you get chewed up and mixed in with some other stuff, that in the end turns out to not be chocolate.

Life is like a Post-It.....
