Communicating with Darmok

What kinds of parables could Picard have used to communicate with Darmok, from his own experiences? Might be fun to invent a few: (translation in parenthesis)

• Riker, with his pants down. (Embarrasment)
• Troi, sensing ... something (Useless information)
• Beverly and Picard in 10 Forward (Lets Just Be Friends)
• Troi, when the ratings fell (Show me your cleavage)
• Geordi, his ams wide. (Lonliness)
• Geordi, his arms closed. (Extreme Lonliness)
• Worf, in the first season. (Bad hair day)
• Extra away team security. (Dead)
• Data and Yar in Yar's quarters. (Totally unexpected but not unwelcomed sex)
• Geordi, on the holodeck (need some female companionship)
• Barclay, all the time (I'm nervous)
• Worf, his hands on Tactical (paranoia)
• Wesley, his mouth open (talking garbage)
• Riker at Risa (perverse and degrading acts unfit for an officer)
• Geordi, in his Quarters. (No date.)
• Data, at rest. (An oxymoron. He cannot relax because he's never tense.)
• Data, dreaming. (Something bizarre.)
• Wesley, in the Warp Core. (Celebration!)
• Worf and Prune Juice near the Water Closet. (A deluge is forthcoming.)
• Guinan, in counsel. (Somebody is about to screw up.)
• Worf, his phaser taken (incompetant security personnel)
• Extra security, beaming down (people about to die)
• Worf, when he fires phaser (missing the target)
• Troi, her breasts showing (something that's always happeneing)
• Wesley, his head severed (a happy day)
• Picard, when he had hair (youth)
• Kirk, grabbing his stomach (bad acting)
• Wesley, when he saved the ship(again):Smartass
• Beverly leaving Picards room:Sexual frustration
• Worf, on the shuttle with Worf:xerox is on the blink again
• Spot, when the hairball fell. (Untidy cabin)
• Geordi, his visor off (vulnerability)
• Picard, shields down (trust)
• Worf, shields down (teeth-gritting frustration)
• Lwaxana sensing... SUCH THOUGHTS! (over-confidence in one's sex appeal)
• Riker, tugging uniform (attempt to appear confident while costume rides up)
• McCoy on TNG, his make-up bad his acting worse. (Big mistake you regret later.)
• Geordi, his array rephased his coil boosted. (Episode with a techno-garbage solution.)
• Lwaxana, her ass on screen briefly. (Times you wish you'd been looking away from the TV. Also means extreme nausea.)
• Alexander and Luwaxana, their guest-shots on the same episode. (The worst of all possible situations.)
• Wesley, Alexander and Luwaxana together on a single episode. (Something so bad it's almost inconcievable.)
• Picard, his sexual orientation discussed. (Mindless chatter.)
• Aliens, their skin painted, their foreheads bumpy. (Insult to your intelligence.)

Picard might have pulled some from Starfleet's historical past (ie TOS)

• Star Trek, when Shatner directed. (noncannon)
• Anonymous redshirt, with Kirk on planet. (Impending, unavoidable death)
• Kirk, corner of his mouth bloody, his shirt torn. (After any combat)
• McCoy, his profession stated. (Begin asked to do something outside of job description) (ie "Dammit, Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a ....)
• Uhura, her channels jammed. (Unable to communicate)
• McCoy/Spock, his eyebrow arched (Surprise, amusement)
• Kirk! Saying! Anything! (Being overly dramatic)
• Scotty, fixing his engines. (Making something seem harder than it is)
• Kirk, his situation hopeless. (We'll find a solution, and get the girl, in the next 50 minutes.)
