You —

Found a few good metaphors. By good, I mean bad. Really bad.

[quote]The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.[/quote]

[quote] Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.com\\aaakk/ch@ung but gets T:\\flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake.[/quote]

[quote]Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.[/quote]

[quote] He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.[/quote]

[quote=]She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches...[/quote]This metaphor works really well on only one level like a window cleaner who, whilst being adept with the tools of his trade, forgot his long arm and ladder.
[quote=]McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.[/quote] This made me want to laugh but also feel guilty for laughing, much like glimpsing the disillusioning of a small child after it tried to eat an ice cream only to suddenly loose it's grip and watch helplessly as the cone hit the floor.

[quote=]Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man." [/quote] This one is actually quite good!

[quote]Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.[/quote]

[quote]The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.[/quote]
