Mixing metaphora is like beating dead horses into plowshares.

Doc:
If I may sum up:
/caffeine induced rant
As the one who introduced the ostrich feather into the conversation
"Ostrich Feather, meet Lounge Thread started by Doc; Lounge Thread started by Doc, meet Ostrich Feather"
I shall object to your "possess the metaphor" gambit vis a vis my contribution to this esoterotic* discussion until I am hoarse. Per a Greek root, rather than any wheat stalk or other corn**, metaphora infers large fora, which forum class does not include The Lounge unless you consider the "wasted time division of Mensa" attribute, and the defining metric is the magnitude of intellect charted against quality. On that basis, giants bestride the Internet at The Lounge. The segue into matters of wit is a natural transition from the Mensael magnificence of the Lounge. This is not prima face evidence that size matters per se, though a wit is held as superior to a half wit axiomatically.
For every Lounge Alpha an Omega, providing us the lowest form of wit on any forum, the dimwit (Idioticus Internetus,) which organism would find an exemplar in the typical troll: one who deludes himself with presumptions of intellect when all he truly possesses is an ear separator, and an IQ equivalent to two ears of corn separated by corn silk, albeit huskily depicted.
I just wanted to tie the meta threads and sub-threads into a cohesive weave, all tie-me-up-fetishes put aside and tickled with wheat stalks for the moment, in order to add clarity to this serious topic before I get cornholed as an elitist (maybe that was pigeonholed, Ms Morrison's imagery is most distracting Gris) an undesirable end, even postulating your Post #1 product introduced as a dorsal labial defricative.
Any questions? Good, there will be a quiz on Friday, and I'll want a 500 word precis by next Wednesday from each of you on the pros and cons of corn cobs as erotic addendums to Ostrichian Erotica.
Count Duckula, I'll need to see you after class concerning your same sex education paper, since I have a hard time getting a feel for what is the same as sex. :lol:
Where was I? *flips through notes* Ach, memory fading, like my blue jeans. Zoophilology and Modern Heat Lubricants 101 class -- dismissed.

* (a neologism, fusing esoteric with erotic, I made it up!)
** corn being the English English term for grain crops, versus the specific maize corn of American English. This leaves the corncob as a uniquely American, untransferrable lexicographically as wheatcob, for example, though with sufficient labial lubrication, most anythings is possible for cunning linguists.
PS: The merits and demerits of fora versus forums is left to those more gifted in Latin grammar than my humble self. Phora as Greek for fora is based on the base pH = f sound, which ascetic scholars have still failed to resolbhe.
