Monday Funnies and Chapter 7 of "Skeleton Key" blogvel

Hello Monday!

Chapter 7 of the Round Robin Blogvel is up at Kacimari's Hey Now. If you want to follow along, check out the other chapters in the Table of Contents section.

I found the (~~worst~~ ~~most brilliant~~ funniest) analogies written in a high school essay while surfing the net last week. I'm posting a few of my personal favorites. To see the rest, check out When Bad Writing Becomes Funny compiled by Macarray.

Enjoy!

"She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again."
--Rich Murphy, Fairfax Station

"McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup."
--Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring

"Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze."
--Chuck Smith, Woodbridge

Have a great day, everyone!

One of the best things my husband has ever said - it was to my then 14-year-old little brother - "Girls stick to you like flies on pooh." Classic.; July 18, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Unknown said...: Those are so funny! How does one exactly know what a hefty bag with tomato soup in it looks like? Has he dropped one 12 stories?; July 18, 2011 at 8:51 AM
T.S. Welti said...: Haha! I love the first analogy, though I'm not quite sure I know what he's talking about. He should have used a few more sentences to drive the point home. :); July 18, 2011 at 9:44 AM
