Lazy As Sunday

While going around to my usual forums (nerd alert!), I found this one thread about a contest to create bad metaphors and analogies. Some of these are actually really funny. Also, they bring you back to your younger days when you first learned how to analogize (is that a word?) just like a student learning to metaphor. Here are a couple I really enjoyed:

• Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other Sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master. - Sue Lin Chong, Washington
• The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. -Russell Beland, Springfield
• Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. -Russell Beland, Springfield
• He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree. -Jack Bross, Chevy Chase
• The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work. -Malcolm Fleschner, Arlington
• He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something. -John Kammer, Herndon
