His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. -- Chuck Smith, Woodbridge

He spoke with 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 dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. --Joseph Romm, Washington

Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. --Chuck Smith, Woodbridge

Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. --Russell Beland, Springfield

Bob was as perplexed as a hacker who means to access T:flw.quid55328.comaaakk/ch@ung but gets T:flw.quidaaakk/ch@ung by mistake. --Ken Krattenmaker, Landover Hills

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

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. --Gary F. Hevel, Silver Spring

Long separated by cruel fate, 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. --Jennifer Hart, Arlington

A politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. -- Wayne Goode, Madison,AL
