I read a little...ahh...rather a lot, actually! And over the years have come across some pretty odd or at least just slightly out of kilter turns of phrase. Following are some umm...favorite?...examples of really ugly analogies and bad metaphors. Feeling brave? Add to the list!! :cheers:

:colors: His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

:blackeye: Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

:drunken: She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

:cyclopsani: From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

More....if you can stand it!....later!

Awww...c'mon! Am I the only one who appreciates a bad metaphor?? ;)

:bounce: Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

:compress: The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't

:blackeye: McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

:idea: Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.

:colors: He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.

:cherry: The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.

:cyclops: She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up

:clown: He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

:albino: They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

Waterproof cast! Fiberglass is the way to go...and it comes in designer colors! The tech handed me a ring of sample swatches! Almost went with glow-in-the-dark (thought that might keep me and mr. kat awake though!)...so I went with fire engine red! ;D
