    Genius :rolleyes:

    *She walked into my office like a centipede with
    98 missing legs.
    *His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and
    breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer
    *Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair
    after a sneeze.
    *The little boat gently drifted across the pond
    exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
    *McMurphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement
    like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.
    *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
    *The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the
    full stop after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.
    *The red brick wall was the colour of a brick-red
    crayon.
    *Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like
    a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had
    rusted shut.
    *The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind
    you get from not eating for while.
    *"Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her breasts
    heaving like a student on 50cent-a-pint night.
    *The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and
    extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a lamppost.
    *She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli
    and he was room-temperature British beef.

    ;)

      HA, LOL :D

      If they were all from the same essay, I'd like a copy... heaving breasts, politicians going missing, 6foot 3 inch trees, sounds like fun.

      Heard this years ago but can't remember rest of it.

      " I met her at the 14th precinct, she was pointing two 38's at me, she also had a gun"!
      " Took her for a drive in my Chevie 69, brick came through the window, hit her on her left breast, broke four of my fingers"!

      They were probably laughing at the thought that people might believe that the quotes were from actual test papers, which they aren't.

      Well you are supposed to avoid cliches.

      I remember a thread like this before, someone posted one they had used(cant find the thread):

      "her vocabulary was so yeah, like, whatever."


    • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭Skud


      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.

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

      There was another one along the lines of:

      "The lovers ran towards each other like a pair of trains travelling at 60mph, one having left dublin at 9am, the other leaving cork at 8:55..."

      The two love birds had never met, they were like two hummingbirds, who had also never met.

      "the plan was simple, like my brother phil, but unlike phil it might actually work"

      I cant remember the others that are missing from the above list, something about people spinnings arms like windmills (or was that just another crazy dream)
