Cellar users are witty and use a lot of analogies, similies, and metaphors.

Not sure where I'm going with this, but the title is true.

Oh, and I'm speaking of others, not myself. I'd like to be able to wrap things up with a good tight analogy, rather than spouting on end.

Steve, you are a remarkable Cellarite...you are equally balanced between insightful, self-revealing commentary, and pissass critiques of the community of which you are ostensibly a part.

Are you this dichotimous in your everyday life, or do you actively keep The Cellar as a hidden, guilty pleasure?

Pissass? (I thought this thread was complimentary, not critiqueing or "pissass".)

::: hopefully buys time while looking up "dichotimous" :::

Damn, man... it's not even spelled that way. Though now that I've looked it up, I don't agree that I am such.

Witty? Literary? Intelligent?

Why, yes. Yes we are.

I was passing out from boredom at work, and so did not check my spelling. Good job catching that, though. And I did get the apparently complimentary bent of the thread. I was just a bit dubious (and I did check that spelling).

Of course not. Everybody knows it's spelled "pizazz".

Cellar users are witty and use a lot of analogies, similies, and metaphors because we are all cultured and highly educated. Or not.

More importantly, we even think to use them in places like The Sex Thread.
