Simile Game

[Shalot]

Okay here's how it goes: I will put forth a sentence containing a similie and the next poster has to take something out of the previous simile-filled sentence and come up with a new simile-containing sentence. It can be as ridiculous or profound as you can make it.

I'll start:


Her voice was rich, yet sweet like vanilla coated coffee beans.

And then the next poster might create a new sentence like, "His morning coffee rushed through him like a freight train, with all the force of Niagra Falls."

(BTW: Merriam Webster defines a simile as such: a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as)

OKay go (and you can use either sentence to get started)

[Tournesol]

'You're like hot chocolate: you're sweet and you warm me up on the inside!!"

[NickAdams]

When the temperature of the hot chocolate's adjective declined, it lost its flavor. The bland taste was like licking the screen of a comptuer monitor.

[Tournesol]

Salt clouds on my lips, and my eyelashes,
Burns, but tastes like life.
I recognize the presence of it in the air, on my skin, in my stomach…
Makes me sick.
Soon you too will be true,
To me,
Like this salt.
True, an unmistakable truth,
That burns inside me,
On my lips, and my eyelashes.
Hurts, but is life.
This sounds like real reality.
Soothes, soaks my skin like a good hot day.
This salt, this real, this life…
This you…

You can talk about anything, just as long as your sentence contains a simile and a word or expression from the previous post.

I'll take 'salt' from K. Ali's post:

Your existence is like the salt in the soup of my life.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, Shalot. Great idea for a game. :thumbs_up )

cool - I'm glad somebody understands me :lol: )

The pool at the campground was thick and murky, like french-onion soup.

[Pendragon]

The campground itself was like the bad end of Attica during a roit.

[papayahed]

After viewing Steel Magnolias the Attica inmates were meek, like newborn kittens.

[barbara0207]

After his phone call my heart leapt like a young kitten.

[papayahed]

My heart beat like a drum when I heard about the mission.

[Shalot]

The mission was as futile as pebbles and slingshots against oncoming tanks.

[barbara0207]

They wouldn't listen to me; my arguments were washed away like pebbles from the beach by a sea of laughter and disdain.

[AuntShecky]

Hey! What am I going to do with all this leftover French Onion soup?

[Haven]

AuntShecky.... I am laughing so hard I am crying....

The french onion soup sucked up the croutons, like a lurking patch of quicksand.

[BlueSkyGB]

He slurped up the French-onion soup like a Rainbow vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt....:lol:

[Pendragon]

You keep on eating like a hog and you'll need a vaccum to suck in that gut! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/sportlich/h045.gif

Shame shame, this is not a similie :lol:

Yeah, but it was funny, I looked all over for someone mentioning french onion soup, trying to see the similie connection...:lol:

Lord Emsworth's prize Hog was named Duchessand he treated her like royalty.

[Niamh]

Although she was not royalty, she was treated like the queen of sheba.

[Pendragon]

Like the Queen of Sheba, he had traveled far in search of wisdom.

[papayahed]

His travels made him as weary as one eyed dog in a milkbone factory.

[Nightshade]

The world weary king was as dead as a dodo.

[BlueSkyGB]

The King cared for his kingdom like a chef tending to a bowl of French-onion soup,as the aroma wafted about the kitchen like a foggy night in fall.

[papayahed]

The french Onion soup at Boyd's Eats was a rich and delicious as a Swarthy European Nobleman straight from the casinos of Monaco.

[BibliophileTRJ]

Even though I was losing money in the casinos of Monaco I was still having as much fun as an electric eel in a public bath.

[papayahed]

The Mischief-Maker that put the electric eel in the public bath was hunted down like the last buffalo at the Hunters Jamboree.

[Shalot]

She was as graceful as buffalo in a leotard doing a ballet dance

[barbara0207]

This graceful thread felt as lonely as a girl just left by her lover - so let's play the simile game again!

[Shalot]

The simile game felt as lonely as boy who was just left by his lover (why is it that the women are always being left here? :p )

[barbara0207]

Both lovers left as fast as lightning in a thunderstorm. Now we will never know whether they were male or female ... :p

[AuntShecky]

He felt as out of place as a male at a baby shower.

[Shalot]

The baby shower was as dull as dishwater.

[barbara0207]

After I told the wine-grower his prize wine tasted like dishwater, I left the premises in a haste.

[AuntShecky]

The premises looked like an old refrigerator when the refrigerator held nothing but a bunch of glass jars full of leftover French onion soup, which looked like science experiments from a failing school.

[Shalot]

The sentence was as awkward as an elephant in stilettos.

[kilted exile]

The stilletoes accentuated her legs like a nice chianti with liver

[_JadeRain_]

A nice chianti with liver is about as good as medicine perscribed from a world famous doctor.

[barbara0207]

I found that this "world famous surgeon" was as skillful as Frankenstein's monster.

[_JadeRain_]

Frankenstein's monster is as nimble as a battet dancer.

[AuntShecky]

As out of place as a ballet dancer at a wrestling match.

[Shalot]

the wrestling match as interesting as watching paint dry.

[thescholar]

a george bush speech is like two semi-literate 8 year olds mud wrestling.

[Shalot]

the explanation she gave was as clear as mud.

[AuntShecky]

Like mud-slinging at a political rally, the clichés flew through the air.

[barbara0207]

That terrible nickname stuck like mud on her shoes.

[papayahed]

The thoughts I express after 5 martinis are as clear as mud.

[AuntShecky]

Five martinis are like a respectable bank balance --
not enough!

[AdoreroDio]

Bank hours are like a sad clown driving a Hummer- Ridicules!

[AuntShecky]

A sad clown is like a walking cliché

[papayahed]

The walking cliche was stumbling down the street like a new born baby giraffe.

[Niamh]

the baby giraffe tried to walk like an Egyptian

[AuntShecky]

The Egyptian avoided religious discussions like the Plague!

[_JadeRain_]

The plauge is to be avoided at all costs, like a man who has not showered in several weeks.

[Shalot]

The meatloaf she was cooking smelled like a man who has not showered in several weeks.

[Pensive]

The man she had fallen for was as proud as a mother on her daughter's marriage to a rich man.

[papayahed]

The daughter's marriage to the rich man was as successful as a one armed juggler.

[rachel_bookworm]

The one armed juggler was about as useless as a pen with no ink.
