Best Analogies Ever!

[Acebot44]

My Personal (http://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/language/analogies.html) favorite is:

" 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. "

[Typhoid]

These are classic.

EDIT: Ok, my plan was to write down my 2 favourite...but i got carried away...


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

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

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

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

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

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. "

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

That's the best one...

[Dark Samurai]

"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."

That ones the greatest!
