I rediscovered one of the funniest (I think) websites ever!

http://writingenglish.wordpress.com/2006/09/12/the-25-funniest-analogies-collected-by-high-school-english-teachers/

Reprinted below:

The 25 Funniest Analogies (Collected by High School English Teachers)


1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. 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.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

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

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

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

8. 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 machine.

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

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

11. 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.

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

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. 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 from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan’s teeth.

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

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.

18. 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.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

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

22. 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.

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.



My favorite is number 6.  Hahahahahahaha.


// edit
I found some more!

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.

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

Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.com\aaakk/ch@ung but gets T:\flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake.

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."

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

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 color of a brick-red Crayola crayon.

Holy crap it's 0 degrees outside.  Fahrenheit.  I'm going to be so grumpy tomorrow.

Here are my pics from Japan!!  I had trouble putting them up earlier because my new camera names the files differently on my computer, and my program that I used to make the html code didn't work, but I fixed it!




O'Hare airport




My first purchase in Japan: Asahi beer!  The legal age is 20, but they didn't even ask for my ID. hrmph.




My uncle brought a lot of cash.


This is the area where I would sleep.






Sean and Baba-chan


Uncle and Sean.


Feet warmer






My Jiji-chan had a lot of books.










Foooooood!!




Some Engrish.


More Engrish.



???

The first day we were there, the amount of rain that fell in one day was more than the monthly average for December.

I love Happy Sales!





The triangles on the left tell you when the light will turn green!

A huge coke and a small coke for the same price?



Cigarette vending machines!  All we need now is beer.

Gas from the ceiling!

Michelle Wie on a train poster.

Rainbow bridge.

A really big ferris wheel.





Bathroom stalls.  Creepy.

Super duper hand dryer.





Sean and I both won this, a DVD player!  But they didn't ship to the US (not that a Japanese DVD player would work anyway) so we sent both to Baba-chan.





A giant Cameron Diaz.


Yes, I got a hold of one!




You think the T is confusing?!?!!?


Eyeball








Pachinko!!




Recycling in Japan is crazy!  They recycle everything!  Almost every plastic product, the wrappers, cartons, everything!  For instance, to recycle a bottle, you have to peel off the label, but that in the plastic section, remove the cap, and put them in the bottle section.


My bed.


I found a LocoMoco!





Weird.


We visited my Jiji-chan's church on Sunday.  He was the pastor there.  So when Sean and I went, we were kinda like celebrities!   Everybody wanted to see his American grandchildren!




All traffic stopped.  How often do you see a diagonal crosswalk?




Imagine the entire infinite, except instead of classrooms, you had stores!




Aunt Anna



Kegs of sake






Lots and lots of people!
















That's all there is, there isn't any more.

Happy New Year from Japan!!!

I'm returning to Boston tomorrow (not looking forward to the flight tho). I have a camera now so expect to see many more posts in the future!

So I went to Chicago for Thanksgiving break with Julia.  Note, my girlfriend is Juls, but we made these plans before we started going out.  And it was a blast!  But no photos, yet.... maybe ever... cuz we only had Julia's camera.  I don't think I've ever eaten so well for 5 straight days ever.
