I must, of course, thank Falco who redeemed me like a pawnshop pen.
Sorry. I am trying out some bad similes. It's how I get psyched before entering the Bulwer-Lytton Writing competition! Before you google it, why not feast your eyes on this gem:
Archibald Aqueous was a man who never had enough time, whose life was consumed ravenously by a desperate desire to to good by his job, and by his aging daughter who was not satisfied with the breast implants his money could buy; and yet, when, mid-phone call, a latex-laden alien beamed him up into the leviathan spacecraft, he just managed to tell his secretary to cancel his 3 o'clock.
Enter it if you want, but I don't think it is bad enough.
Signing off, I love you like a toothless, three-legged, blind terrier loves to express rage by deafening the rest of us, but we don't really mind because the realms of 'ruff-ruff' are the only vents the poor thing has left.
It was actually me :) I stole Falco's computer... briefly...
ReplyDeletethe problem, dearest fledermaus is that you are simply to wonderful to put pen to paper and come out with anything bad. I am sure, though, if you continue trying, you will eventually come up with a truly terrible similical phrase.
ReplyDeleteSycorax, you bad-tush-mo-fo! I love you.
ReplyDeleteCrane, you and your wonderful knees and your overwhelming flattery.
