Best Worst Analogies!

GraceKrispy · 03-16-2011, 09:30 PM

I feel like I've read some similar ones in a few books I've read, and even one or two that I reviewed...

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

wish me luck, I think this is my next line for my wife

OK, I'm no stupid, but that one did make me laugh out loud

The Ballerina at the fire hydrant cracks me up but number 10 for you Mortis

You have to give it to the brother-in-law Phil Analogy.

Yeh! and 56 wins. Why? If he has Protanopia then the best way to analise a sunset is on a computer with the colour tools. 10% of males do and the other 90% say "huh! What's that about?" along with all the women. (It's personal

)

I felt a nameless dread. Well, there probably is a long German name for it, like Geschpooklichkeit or something, but I don’t speak German. Anyway, it’s a dread that nobody knows the name for, like those little square plastic gizmos that close your bread bags. I don’t know the name for those either.

That's a whole essay in itself!

You guys crack me up. We all read the same thing and each find different parts the funniest. It's fun. Sorry guys. MR said I ran out of karma bullets and I have to wait a day to reload.

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

Must be vacationing in Newfoundland.

Quote:

...so references to programs being at "six o'clock, six-thirty in Newfoundland" are commonly heard across Canada.

Or did I get that backwards?

ROFL @ Number 17 "Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do." And with number 20: I don't want to know how they know this...

hehe... I love all the ones listed. A few other favorites are these:

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

(I know that shock, I *totally* get this analogy!)

and

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at asolar 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.

(That was always a huge fear of mine! Luckily, I escaped the solar eclipses unscathed...)
