I got this e-mail from a friend, who 'claimed' these were all in GCSE English Writing papers as similies/metaphors etc. All are ... terrible ...

Read on..

----

- His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.

- Murphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.

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

- Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the centre

- Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

- The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop 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 plan was simple, like my brother Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan might just work.

- The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

- Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her breasts heaving like a student on 31p-a-pint night.

- 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.

- Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."

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

- It came down the stairs looking very much like something no one had ever seen before.

- It was a working class tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with their power tools.

- He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a dustcart reversing.

- She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature British beef.

- She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

- Her voice had that tense, grating quality, like a first-generation thermal paper fax machine that needed a band tightened.

- It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.

Thanks J-42, I've got the word count, but I think it will be a while until I've posted 300 times. Gerrid, I apologise for insulting you by giving my opinion on the Dreamcast (but we ARE entitled to our opinions after all).

It's to do with appreciating the Dreamcast, and the Top posters list...

I am outraged

Seeing as this thread has nothing to do with the future of gaming, I decided to ask something also unrelated to the subject;

How do I go from Newbie to Regular?
(I'm not stupid, so no "hilarious" sarcastic answers please).
Thanks

Fair enough. Do you know whether msn is up and running properly?

Well..it's full of randomness, like the David Brent thing.

And Cube and Sony and Xbox are all console specific, so wouldn't appreciated it much.

And Life is a bit too serious.

So it was more elimination.

They're my personal favourites, but they're all great. :D Cheers for that.
