Conversation #26 – The Metaphorical News

Kenny breaks some news and metaphorical barriers are broken

Greg says:

Today we play another game

Kenny vs Kenny says:

No we don’t

Greg says:

Yes we do

Kenny vs Kenny says:

No we DON’T for today I break news

Greg says:

Very well. But this had better be incredible news

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Oh it is – so much so that I shall leave you for a minute with only the phrase “so she said its Ch’unch’on or death” and go and get myself coffee

Greg says:

Wait a sec

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Yep?

Greg says:

Okay - you can go now

Kenny vs Kenny says:

good of you

.

------------10 Minutes later.-------------------

.

Kenny vs Kenny says:

I return

Greg says:

With coffee?

Kenny vs Kenny says:

With coffee and news

Greg says:

Keep them both. The window for news has closed.

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Which window – where window?

Greg says:

The window that went “oo oo I’m closing” five minutes after you said you’d be away for a minute.

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Oh that window. Well if its shut then I guess I can’t tell you

Greg says:

It’s a shame cos you got me really tantalised

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Doubly because it’s the kind of news that you’d really appreciate

Greg says:

When the window is shut the window is shut and what is a man to do?

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Wise words. Of course I could shout

Greg says:

Unfortunately it is not a real window. Your words would get lost in the transference to metaphor

Kenny vs Kenny says:

That’s fine. I was only going to metaphorically shout anyway

Greg says:

In any case the window appears to be double glazed

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Metaphorically or really?

Greg says:

How exactly do you envisage a metaphorical window with real double glazing?

Kenny vs Kenny says:

I don’t think I did - the window is your metaphor

Greg says:

Actually the double glazing is my metaphor – the window just came as part of the package

Kenny vs Kenny says:

But if it hadn’t then surely you would have had to provide your own metaphorical window – otherwise it would just be single glazing

Greg says:

thats true but the window is more a display stand for the metaphor than an active component of metaphor itself

Kenny vs Kenny says:

So the window is metaphorically ownerless

Greg says:

Actually the metaphorical window is actually ownerless.

Greg says:

You said it was metaphorically ownerless – big difference

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Freak. In any case I claim the metaphorical window and open it

Greg says:

You can’t – the metaphorical double glazing is in the way

Kenny vs Kenny says:

Okay then I smash the window

Greg says:

vandal

Kenny vs Kenny says:

SIS GOT THE JOB – SHE’S OFF TO SOUTH KOREA WITHIN THE WEEK
