So, what is the best analogy for EQ???

We see so many in threads around here.

Golf
Baseball
Football
Basketball
....sports of all kinds
Business
Taxes
Government
Economic Models
Nintendo
Laboratory Rats
AOL
Work Ethics


Ok, some of these things aren't technically analogies, but you get my meaning.

I like Firemynd's ol' "Monopoly" post.

You forgot that one.

And someone said it's like working out at the gym, or something. I don't get that one.

Lab Rats is probably the closest to what I think of the most, just one big Skinner Box. Anyone remember the non-smoking vignette of the Steven King movie "Cat's Eye"?

Said it in-thread over there somewhere.
Analogies are like opinions, and we all know what opinions are like.

omg slot machines, hehe...very apt. "One more level, then I'll get the bling-bling!"

It's a sliding scale for me:

Quake-----AOL------Smoking

Depending on the day.


btw, the previous post was just this plus some angle brackets...HTML? I think not.
