I couldn't think of any either, which was why I was excited by the thread!

What do you mean- simile combinations? Any example, even a bad one, is appreciated.

Ok, I'll try one.

You are like an ant about to be flattened like a pancake under an anvil-like shoe.

I thought you where talking about making similes through the combination of bad ones already in existence, or by making up new ones. Examples include, "He's catatonic alright... catatonic like a fox." or, "I'm as frustrated a skinny hippopotamus on clam day!"

Catatonic like a fox...

Oh yeah.

Did you write the scritp for Zoolander perchance?

This thread is lame like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Dan's post is about as senseless as a morphine-addled Helen Keller.

Just like falling out of the frying pan, into a hard place.

That's like a metaphor combination.

PC, that was as rude as a three legged elephant on roller skates.

Dan that was as obtuse as an antlion having a seizure in a sea of oil.

They're combinations. You have to mix them -- like throwing gasoline on troubled waters.

I give about as much of a crap for your rules as a Lemming does about Socialized Health Care.

Wow, this game's about as friendly as a rattlesnake in a water buffalo.

Edit: You know who'd be really good at this game? Doc from Boondock Saints...

Doc: You know what they say: People in glass houses sink sh... sh... sh... ships.
Rocco: I got to buy you a proverb book or something, because this mix 'n' match [stuff's] got to go.
Doc: What?
Connor: Well, a penny saved is worth two in the bush, isn't it?
Murphy: And don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.
