Idea from another thread (about age). Freestyle metaphor creation, based on a suggested 'seed' sentence every, 10 posts, shall we say?
So to start:
I age like a...

Nice, I like the sound of that one.
I age like an old Christmas tree. Standing confident and proud in the living room for a while, followed by being chucked out in the garden, where all your needles fall off.

I age like an orchid. When left to my own devices, I am strong and resilient, but manhandled or prodded against my will, I choose self-destruction over surrender.

I age like a fine wine, growing in complexity and subtley with every passing year, until I am a combination of mellow notes, insouciant flavors, and playful suggestions of sun and shade and soil.

A day in my life is like a roller coaster made with silly putty and twizzlers. From a distance it might look pretty and fun, but up close it's a danger zone waiting to annihilate its next victim.

A day in my life is like a used car. A lot of my issues were caused by someone I never meet.

People compare me to a stack of documents. They know there's something useful and important in there somewhere, but mostly, they don't want to rifle through all of the crap to get to what they need.

People compare me to a racehorse... (Oh, wait. did that already :)
People compare me to a robot. If I do something they need/want, they're there for me. If not, they're gone.
People compare me to themselves; I contrast myself to people. The dissatisfaction is mutual.

People compare me to a girl in a Woody Allen film. I don't think I've ever seen a Woody Allen film, so I don't know what that means.

People compare me to a long fall. Once you start you wish you had not been standing on the top of the ladder reaching above your head to cut the last big branch with a chainsaw.

People compare me to the sphincter muscle and rectal orifice. This often maligned body part is rarely mentioned and usually misunderstood. But just for example what would you do with out it? If not for the sphincter shit would just run out whenever it felt like it. If it were absent and the orifice itself was not present then shit would back up and prevent the body from eliminating wastes and toxins would build up to fatal levels in the body. Just think it is the noble asshole that really makes the world go around without it we would all be lost...Here's to you Mr. Asshole, but you really know how to get shit done!

Little do they know, I'm the answer.

Talking to him is like using echolocation to find your way out of a vaccuum.

It's not my problem that he contradicts himself! The question is which do you follow: the initial assertion, or the later contradiction?
