Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience,like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
I'm sure this guy used to be a script writer on Python ??



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.


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



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



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 p.m. instead of 7:30.



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



Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.



Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.


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



The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
this one HAS to be my favourite.



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."



Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other leaving from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.



The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.



John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.



The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.




The red brick wall was the colour of a brick-red Crayola crayon.

so, literati........can we do better.......or worse???????

:D
 
"He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree."
That one is just stupid..


"Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other leaving from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph."
I laughed at that one :) I hate those math questions.


Don't think I could do worse than these :)
 
I could see myself actually writing this one.

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."


You have to admit, this one is funny coming from a high school student.

My entry :

He danced with the grace of a three legged elephant in combat boots.
 
I can do much worse......I have a story I'm working on that is full of those.
 
I don't think I can do better actually, I'll have a go though...

'The sound of their lovemaking was like the singing of nature...'


oh, hang on a minute, was I trying to make it good, or really bad?
 
He was as quiet as a sock, as he climbed through the window. She was lovely, and didn't remind him of newspaper. She sat and combed her hair as slow as slow-worms, while singing in a high little voice as high and thin as a very tall, pointy mountain.
 
Her hourglass figure looked as though the sands had shifted one too many times, she looked in the mirror and ran her hands over her cottage cheese thighs......smooth as ice on a cold winter day in the winter and you have to look carefully unless you fall down and break a hip ...yes, that's how they felt. Icy smooth.
 
One more and then I'll stop: It's from my Cindy Heller 2 part trilogy:

SHE SAVORED THE SALTY TASTE. HER NIPPLES GREW AS HARD AS A HARVARD ENTRANCE EXAM. HE STOOD OVER HER, ARMS FOLDED, HIS HAIRY BALLS HEAVING IN TIME TO HIS STEADY BREATHING AS HER LIPS SUCKED RHYTHMICALLY AT THEM, FIRST THE LEFT, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN THE LEFT AGAIN, JUST TO MAKE SURE SHE HADN'T MISSED A BIT.

HER LABIA WERE SWOLLEN AND MOIST NOW AND SMELLED SWEET, LIKE HONEYDEW MELON MIXED WITH A FAINT AROMA OF SEA BASS LEFT OUT IN THE HOT, HOT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE TO DRY…

I like this one! It sounds like something I'd write as a comic aside in one of my stories.

I really like the "Second Tall Man" analogy. There are authors like that. It's witty. You do want to watch this one. She could be the new Hiassen or Tim Robbins.

DomJoe,

Go stand in the corner and play with yourself for awhile. Whew!

Here's my contribution, though it pales in comparison: Her eyes were soft and brown, like over-ripe bananas.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
Good restraint, Rumple. "Soft and brown" calls other stuff to mind, too, but you rose above.

lol....:D :cool:

He spoke with the genius of a bag of rocks
BlackSnake, that'd be an upgrade for me.

Cantdog, I got restraint I ain't never used.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

ps: That list came from a Washington Post contest. My favorite is the first runner-up.
1st Runner-Up: She was as unhappy as when someone puts your cake out in the rain, and all the sweet green icing flows down and then you lose the recipe, and on top of that you can't sing worth a damn. (Joseph Romm, Washington)
 
My donation to A/J's bitch thread starts out with a doozy of a terrible analogy and goes downhill from there.

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

I actually like that one, though. Is that wrong? :D
 
He was a jaded character, like, one of those giant emarald buddha statues or something...
