Metaphorical Speech

To Emily:
I am still at awe in the difference between saying "Love is a snowmobile" and "Love is like a snowmobile". Even without saying 'like', is it not implied that in fact it is like a snowmobile. Love will never actually be a snowmobile (unless you live in the mountains and really really like snowmobiling, I guess). I see any sarcasm really as being a metaphor. You don't have to say like for it to be like an object. Also, you said there was no concrete definition of love. "An intense feeling of deep affection" noun. "Feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone)" verb. So why must it be described as a snowmobile?
