Word is out that Bloomberg is entering the race.  The field is crowded but many welcome him.  Is it too late or he stands a good chance to win the nomination?

He is a snowflake on the river.

BTW tell Ronan that is an allusion swiped from Robert Burns!

no sir, that is a simile (albeit misquoted like a dunce) that you "swiped" from Robert Burns

NOT an "allusion" . . . which only serves to make your post bizarre

words actually have meaning beyond the in-residence knockabout between your ears, arite?

upon reflection, your ass may very well need a "couple of weeks" recovery time from LASH before returning to the other thread

"Ronan" jumbie camped in yuh head

uh huh

Here goes the pedant.....technically it is a metaphor and not a simile and  as a figure of speech it does literally hints  at the transience of things. Snowflakes do not last long on a river. 

Similes can be allusion ie you are acting like a June bug as usual. And I did not misquote it. I took from what him what I needed to create the effect.
