Let's say, for example, both.

ah, yes. the famed 'metaphysical/physical vegetables.' i believe they did a 20/20 on that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just like Veggietales.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but with less religion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
less appendages, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, the veggietales characters have invisible appendages. how else could they use pirate swords to strike fear of god into the hearts of little kids?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose you're right.
So, what now? Just invisible legs or invisible arms? Or are they just vegetable vegetables?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that is not my decision.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the choice always lay with you.

An octopus on a typewriter, to me, represents a severe case of writer's block. It is a large, gelatinous brain block which gets in your way every time you try to write. It suctions onto your brain and gives you no control over your creative abilities. It is, quite simply, the writer's nightmare.

...And now you hold the top position. Keep this space occupied for eight more days and you win the ten points.

I wish myself only the best of luck.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish you just as much.

Someone already won. Too late, I'm afraid.

...who could have beaten my majestic prosetic response.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually...I'm not sure. I'm only sure that the contest is over and someone is in possession of all 10 of those Me-Points.

Bastard. I'll hunt him down and slaughter his existence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Go for it, meth mortician!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have torn apart my name and turned it into something unholy.
I hang my head in shame.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Victory is mine!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Yes it is.
bastard.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...I don't get it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. That is quite clever. If you can hold this position for eight more days, you get the ten points.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...And so, to put the bile on the cake, I must inform you that the hill has been claimed by another boasting a much more interesting analogy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well, It's more efficient than an squid on a paper and pencil, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At least squids have ten tentacles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but their odd shape wouldn't work on a typewriter. It seems too....straight.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do I get my 10 points now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What you said wasn't even an analogy. Perhaps you should get yourself learned by Wiktionary.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, I twied. =w=
may I try again?

I might not have understood the challenge, but here's my response...
...An Octopus on a typewriter ~ A Silkworm in a Nice Blouse?
Okay, I suck!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, allow me to supply an example.
Suppose you were listening to a terrible song. You would describe the song as the verbal equivalent of sticking a piping hot poker into your ear and stirring it around a little.
An analogy is a literary device that utilizes models to describe something in a more understandable or simply clever fashion.
So, tell me, what sort of idea would an octopus on a typewriter produce to you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AH! Well, an analogy is also something like...
Dog is to Puppy as Cat is to Kitten.
So my thinking was...Octopus using a typewriter which uses ink, which the Octo makes (although not really ink)...Silkworm, wearing a blouse, made of silk, which the worm produces.
Ah well...

You're on the right track.

if he sneezed ink would go all over it and then he'd get fired

He's the Jackson Pollack of cephalopod writers.
