In Reply to: RE: What's a rain barrel?... posted by Steve O on March 04, 2015 at 20:11:13
...my new assignment is to defend it.
On the other hand.....
rain barrel: def...see link at page bottom.
floating: yes, turds do float.... Although not all turds float. Some do sink. Perhaps it is a variable you could study up on.
Aimlessly floating: metaphor sort of. Means the series has lost its direction and is aimlessly floating rather than going somewhere. And he thinks it is comparable to manure.
I just thought it was a picturesque description.

..."Folks, don't try this at home". The review obviously left us with different impressions.P.S. Nothing personal here. I just found the frequent attempts at "clever" to be distractingly awkward. The subject phrase was a great example. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.......

speaking of "... a piece of manure floating aimlessly in a rain barrel..."

Nothing personal here.
I thought my reading of the phrase in quotes was just literal. A turd floating in a rain barrel. And he compares the series so far to that.
yet when you say...
"."floating aimlessly" makes it sound as if manure is somehow a low form of life"
On a different day, in a different frame of mind, I might see it that way.
Its all about perception, I guess.
