Shrimp I want to see your post count stretch over 2,600 by the end of the day. Comment on as many posts as possible, just let them see your sig, that's enough. Your comments are to be on topic and relevant points and must contain at least one sentance, not just smiley faces or one word replies.

You've gone down to 32% very upsetting.

A simile is a metaphor that uses the terms "like", or "as", so technically I'm correct.....

Meanwhile here's a delicious and nutrious flan.......

and a scary flan

... A simile is a metaphor that describes in the same way as metaphor, but uses "like” or “as” in the comparison.

I beat you to it crofty!

ExoduS 18.11 · 08-05-2005 6:27pm

That flan looks delicious.... its more of a compliment!

pwd · 08-05-2005 6:30pm

well not according to my secondary school english teacher
this appears to be an important subject which is currently strongly divided and worthy of much debate. Perhaps a post on the Debate forum is in order.

Delicious prehaps, but could you spark an intellectual dialogue on the nature of being and nothingness.

Probably not, but odds on it's smarter than shrimp.

well not according to my secondary school english teacher

And my opinion is based on my teachers as well. Also anyone else notice that google switched all my "r''s with "w"'s?

Incdiently the reason your search turned up more results is that it is a simpler string.

Many of the results actually are saying that the opposite is truie if you bother to examine them.

here is one of many lenbgthy debates on the matter:

you wouldnt have a good recipe for a flan would you?

Shrimp · 08-05-2005 7:14pm

omg,, I had home made(from a paket) flan today.. it was lovely.. like those cream carmels, just bigger..

ExoduS 18.11 · 08-05-2005 7:29pm

Vote for a flan board. You know you wanna

Shabadu · 08-05-2005 7:31pm

In a metal flan mould, burn a dessert spoon of sugar with one dst spoon of water. Stir over a strong heat until the sugar and water becomes a brown coloured caramel.

Beat an egg with 2 dst spoons of sugar. Beat well, add a glass of milk, and beat some more.

Pour the mixture into the metal mould over the caramel, and put the mould into a pan of simmering water. Make sure the level of water is lower than the mould.

Let the flan cook like this until it is ready. To test, put a sharp knife into the middle of the mixture. If it is clean when you take it out, the flan is cooked.

You can do this in a large ring mould and cook it in a bain marie in the oven too- you'll get one that looks like mycrofts.

This recipe with egg and milk is much softer than the instant ones or ready made ones which generally have gelatin in em.

StupidLikeAFox · 08-05-2005 7:34pm

A vote for shrimp is a vote for flan

Shrimp · 08-05-2005 7:35pm

Exactly, vote for me, and flan will be heard..

ExoduS 18.11 · 08-05-2005 7:36pm

Flans back from the underground baby!

Shrimp · 08-05-2005 7:37pm

hold on I'll get a pic of the flan i had today..

Shabadu · 08-05-2005 7:37pm

I reckon we should have a combined flan and grammar forum. We can call it: Flammar. We can have a proper simile/metaphor debate while hurling egg based desserts at each other.

And then take all our clothes off and roll around

Shrimp · 08-05-2005 7:44pm

This is the very flan thats inside me today.. just took it now
