When you're coming up with Analogy (or other game) ideas, do you picture some sort of setting where you use your analogy? I usually picture myself telling the analogy to someone at a bar.
Do you have a mental picture of your own where you "try out" your analogy? If so, what is it?The game is closed now. -

What is it about OUM that keeps you playing and coming back for more? :-)
For me: It's about having "little moments" during the day..... little moments of creativity, joy, camaraderie (sp),...that little moment when you feel you really connect with someone...that little (big) moments when you see another perspective or learn something valuable about...See more-

You really can't tell how tall people are from the pictures. And not all of us have met. Sooooo, again a silly little question: How tall are you?
I am 1,74 meters, which would be around 5 feet 8,5 inches.-

I find contrasting bleaknesses in Summer & Winter. Spring & Autumn are livelier, & Spring is more the embodiment of "beginnings." But, this is only in the growing-cycle & I am a city-boy (this time around.) So, Autumn (when the school year begins) is what I have come to experience as the season of newness....See more

Would you break the law to save a loved one?
For me it would depend on who the loved one is and how bad I would be breaking the law. If someone hurt my children I may be inclined to do them serious bodily harm, or more.....
I would probably steal food to feed my kids if I had too also.

In the movie "City Slickers", Billy Crystal & Co discuss what ice cream flavor they would be & why - I loved when one of the ice cream pros corrected a person and said they were sooooo "Rum Raisin" - I am paraphrasing and may have my facts askew.....but if you were an ice cream flavor what would you be and why?

Oh, cool game! Well, for me it has to be pasta. Specifically with my mom's homemade tomato sauce.
