The other day I had the idea of doing a search in Google on how people describe Drupal in simple words. These are some of the results I discovered:

Some are redundant:

• Why Drupal Is Like Drupal Is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFkYXCdOxng)

Related with food:

• Drupal is like a box of chocolates (Asset RC2!)(http://mostrey.be/drupal-box-chocolates-asset-rc2)
• Drupal is Like a Fine Wine(http://www.leveltendesign.com/blog/colin/9-ways-drupal-fine-wine)
• Drupal is like a sandwich. A sandwich has core essentials such as bread and filling but ever sandwich ever made is different in someway.(http://geek.joshwaihi.com/content/drupal-sandwich)
• Drupal is like an onion - it's smelly, goes good with nachos and ... it has layers. (http://www.impliedbydesign.com/blog/drupal-evangelism-bringing-it-school...)
• Drupal is like hot apple pie(http://www.emmajane.net/node/829)
• Drupal is like a spork. Not a fork or a spoon. Some bastard creation in the middle. Great for some things. Just don't eat soup with it.(http://twitter.com/mattfarina/status/5045871198)

Related with places:

• Drupal is like a beach. Nice, but can be a long one, limitless, never-ending, you may get to the deep waters, you may hurt yourself to glass, etc.(http://drupaldistrowatch.com/open-atrium#comment-22)
• Drupal is like a city where there are new people coming and going all the time and where nobody can truly claim to be aware of everything happening(http://omarzblog.gnuvernment.org/en/node/571)
• Drupal is like a cave. So many little hidden coves, and if your not careful, you can get lost deep inside. (http://data.agaric.com/node/2639#comment-1508)
• Drupal is like a bike store!...(http://developmentseed.org/blog/2009/jul/10/aggregating-things-drupal-7#...)

Related to objects(lot about legos):

• Drupal is like a giant bucket of Legos: There are enough pieces to make whatever you want, you just have to figure out how to put them together.(http://designbump.com/originals/45-amazing-sites-built-and-powered-drupal)
• Drupal is like getting a garbage truck full of legos – to really master it you need to learn what all the pieces are.(http://birdhouse.org/blog/2008/03/12/cms-roundup/)
• Drupal is like a Swiss Army knife or a food processor: it is many tools in one, and you can choose to use it for one task or several.(http://blog.raisedeyebrow.com/2009/11/drupal-vs-wordpress-which-one-is-r...)
• Drupal is like the Millennium Falcon. It may not look like much but it's got it where it counts.(http://twitter.com/drupal/statuses/11440231444)

Related with jobs:

• Drupal is like a mechanic saying heres the framework body of the car. go build yourself a car LOL(http://drupal.org/node/351049#comment-1170362)
• Drupal is like having a modular home design. For those who need one other room for your home, you simply add another room module.(http://ezinearticles.com/?What-is-Drupal?-Should-I-Use-it-For-My-CMS&id=...)
• Using Drupal is like graduating from middle school to your first full-time job, where you are now responsible for lots of things you didn't know you needed to manage, because someone was glossing over the grim details before.(http://ryanpricemedia.com/2007/08/19/drupal-vs-movable-type/)

Related to other software:

• Drupal is like Joomla to me. It's easy and has enough features. Views 2 is fine.(http://walkah.net/blog/walkah/now-running-drupal-6-and-views-2#comment-3...)
• Drupal is like FF. You know how Firefox rocks because the add-ons are so excellent? Drupal is like that (http://www.cmsdesignresource.com/cms-list/drupal#84)
• Joomla has always been coded as the better option. Wordpress is good for blogging. And Drupal is like the ugly step child. hahaha(http://www.alledia.com/blog/general-cms-issues/drupal-boutique-cms#pc_4530)

• Being part of Drupal is like being on a roller coaster. I know that I am part of something awesome.(http://buytaert.net/drupal-gardens-launches-in-private-beta#comment-19737)
• Work with Drupal is like a breath of fresh air for the programmer ...(http://justcoded.com/article/drupal-overview/)

Some people don't like Drupal:

• ...drupal is like the 'green' movement... its popular because people say it is.. not becuase it is.(http://www.seoandwebdesign.com/why_is_drupal_so_fucking_frustrating_.htm...)

Finally a very enthusiastic one:

• Drupal is like awesome!(http://www.sabrina.sg/2008/07/18/spirit-of-enterprise-award-2008-i-voted...)
