I agree that him saying that was REALLY corny.

But that's how I leave it. If we are saying that everytime someone comes up with a metaphor and uses it out of context they are stupid, then we are all being a bit hypocritical.

I'm sure there's been times we've all said something out of context and we all know what it meant. I know what Winslow meant. Again, I don't like the guy at all, but I feel like some of us are being very presumptuous in what kind of person he is.

Amen to McCune though. If you're going with the strict interpretation of metaphors, McCune IS a soldier. THAT'S someone with good character (from what I've seen so far).
