Tonight at my writing group the facilitator had us play with similes reminding us they can either compare similar items or opposites. Here are a few to play with:

As clear as....
As white as...
As hungry as...
As mad as...
As lethal as...
As stubborn as...
As naked as...

Pick a favorite or try them all. I'll spare you my signature blue font so it's easier to cut and paste.

As mad, lethal, stubborn as my girlfriend 8-P

Naked takes a little while longer ;-)

As lethal as an injection.
As stubborn as a drop of water.
As naked as a mole rat.

Is that from a movie?

As clear as the conscience of a sociopath.

As white as a prostitute's wedding dress.

As hungry as a wolverene at a tea party.

As mad as a Wall Street investor.

As lethal as the air in the bathroom after my grandfather has used it.

As stubborn as my cat.

As naked as chimpanzee.

As obnoxious as DefectiveCreative eating potato chips (or "crisps") loudly while I'm trying to get to sleep.

I know which movie. . Coincidentally it was on tv last weekend. I won't give it away, but I'll say it has the dude with the freaky eyes and the elemental Dame.

Ohhhh!

Now I'm wondering about the logistics--is it actually possible?

As clear as...consommé
As white as...
As hungry as...Cookie Monster
As mad as...a rampaging
As lethal as... day-old
As stubborn as...a jackhammer
As naked as...a soap bubble

As clear as.... the ramblings of my university lecturer.
As white as... a prisme splitting sunlight into different rays of all the colours in the rainbow, with strategicly placed mirriors reflecting the rays back into one specific spot.
As hungry as... an orc who'd only have had maggoty bread for three stinkin' days.
As mad as... fighting fire with fire
As lethal as... fighting fire with fire
As stubborn as... fighting fire with fire
As naked as... somone who had ants in his pants

Drink it.

As clear as the air after the rain.
As white as sunlight resting on her skin.
As hungry as the beaten but not defeated.
As mad as humanity and all its bloody history.
As lethal as unrequited first love.
As stubborn as sweet vice.
As naked as my feelings.

We got a winner ;-)
