HB on a BW

I believe every situation can be described using an analogy of banging your head on a brick wall.

Writing a book: Banging your head onto a brick wall until the wall breaks into a sculpture.
Discussing Politics: Banging your head onto a brick wall and getting nothing but a headache.
Programming: Banging your head onto a brick wall and hoping the computer manages to recognize it in binary.
The budget deficit: Banging your head onto a brick wall in hopes that you'll eventually be able to afford to buy the wall.

Anybody want to list more or try to disprove this?

Management: Banging your head against a brick wall until the plebes you supervise smarten up and package and ship the wall.

Collage: Paying a ton of money to starve yourself from food and sleep while banging your head against a brick wall in order to get some abitrary scrap of paper needed to bang your head into a brick wall that pays.

Work is like banging your head on a brick wall: you keep on doing it until you hit a question mark block and don't get paid nearly enough for the effort.

Banging your head into a shelf is like banging your head into a brick wall.

It hurts.

Video games is where you use a controller to make someone else jump and bang their head into a brick wall for points.

Reading webcomics: You bang your head into a brick wall in hopes that the author on the other side hears you and actually updates his comic.
Updating a comic: You are given multiple brick walls to bang your head into, including image editor, internet connection, OS stability, server stability, etc.
Fighting: You attempt to bang you opponent's head into a brick wall, while trying to avoid the same being done to you. Wait, that might not be an analogy . . .

Reading EvilEarl posts: You bang your head into a brick wall in hopes that EvilEarl hears you and actually makes sense.
EvilEarl learning to think logically: You are given multiple brick walls to bang your head into, including brain editor, logic connection, Mind stability, Soul stability, etc.

Checking this topic: Coming in expecting something to do with Hearts Boxcars and being very very disappointed. Then just walk away sad no head banging necessary unless you decide to start listening to some metal.

Writing EE posts: You build brick walls for others to bang their heads into, sometimes done by using your head as a hammer (it's alright, my insurance covers it).
Explosives: Banging your head into a brick wall in hopes that the vibrations detonate the charges from a safe distance.
Waiting for Hussie to rescue Jade: You bang your head into a brick wall to no avail, then you go to the image manipulation thread so you can pass the time by banging your head into the image editor brick wall.
Fighting EvilEarl: Banging your head into a brick wall just to be able to find my general location, then another wall for address, and another for my real name, and then another to try to find me at the right time, then I bang your head with a brick wall (or at least it'll feel that way).

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
