Don't you just love a similie.....

What’s a meta for?

“A simile is, like, a metaphor.”
—Stephen Wright

Just thought of a favorite from the literary realm, the opening line of Neuromancer by William Gibson (an Iron Heart fan, I should note):

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

(Not gonna fight anyone about the absence of “like/as”). Talk about a great noir opening that stands the test of time even as though its original intent is dated to a very specific, obsolete technology that younger readers may not understand.
