When I mentioned outlandish metaphor, I mean this kind of thing. Sentences that take you in gloriously unexpected directions even in gratuitous asides

@stancarey I love it when metaphors go somewhere new (really, anything that makes you picture the evoked situation rather than just take the phrase as a block that one already knows the implication of). But super-colourful ones like this are extra.
