  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have been developing a new language for the past year or so. I just thought my way of speaking and communicating could be more exciting than it was.

So being the weird person I am - I started with this language of using outrageous metaphors in my conversations. I get strange looks at times but it usually results in a smile, grin, laughter, and the person is usually scratching their head wondering what to make out of the whole thing.

My daughter asked me if I wanted to get something to eat. She wanted to know if I was hungry. Instead of a boring response like : " Yes I'm hungry let's get a bite. " I said to her - ' I'm so hungry I could eat a horse and chase the rider. " She broke out in laughter and thought that was the nuttiest thing she's heard in awhile.

Any way enough said and time for fun I will give a few examples . The more outrageous the better . I'll state the subject matter and than the metaphor :


Mad or anger : I was madder than a rained on rooster in Florida.

running around : i was running around like a chicken with it's legs cut off.


Good idea : best idea since sliced gravy


Confused : Confused as a termite in a yo yo.


Useless : Useless as a football bat.


busy : Busier than a one armed sewer scrubber




So see what you can come up with. so get off the bed of lettuce and contribute. Don't chicken out and cry sheep- it's real easy. Never hold your nose when an idea blows. Have fun with it --
