I turned off the air conditioning (I swear, I think it was making me a little crazy) and I feel better in general, but I'm really warm (not warm enough to turn the AC back on, obviously) and I need a game. So let's play similes! A simile (not to be confused with "smile," which is a facial expression) is a comparison of two unlike things using the word "like" or "as." So, provide the first half of a phrase, and the next poster finishes your comarison with a reference to something from "The Office" (and, of course, provides the first half of a new comparison for the next poster). For example:
First half of my phrse: Today is as hot as...
(I'll finish my own phrase as if I'm talking to myself, which I do a lot anyway so it's not really that weird for me, but for future reference this is where the next poster would respond)
second half of my phrase: watching Jim walk into the office to kiss Pam.
See?
New phrase: The overripe peach was as putrid as...
I'll try this game.
...Dwight's puke on his car. (Sorry, LT, don't puke.)
Now- This tired old song is as annoying as...
...listening to Michael clip his fingernails at his desk.
(Thanks for the concern, 2' Closer ;-) Every time I watch that scene I close my eyes until I hear Jim say, "Dwight, you forgot your bumper!" Then I know it's safe).
*Next: The clouds moved slowly, just like..."
...Phyllis in Michael's video for the new CFO
Next: Playing Nintendo makes my thumbs as sore as...
....Jim's ear after sitting next to Kelly for the day.
Next: The sky was black as...
...Dwight's teapot-stuffed right nostril.
Next: Yeccch! That smells as bad as...
Loaded Teapot: you are the queen of creative topics.
She must be an English teacher who is always trying to come with things for her kids! And you must be a very good one.
Watch out LT, but I can't resist using the same one as before.
...Dwight's puke on his car.
Ok, that was gross and I apologize.
Next: Wow! That movie star is as good looking as...
...Meredith on the can.
Sorry, couldn't help it.
Next: Ouch! This broken legs hurts like....
Thanks for the kind words, garbagethrower and Jinx. This is a good outlet for me, since I haven't been in a classroom since my daughter was born over 2 years ago. It keeps me a little cerebral, in between singing goofy songs and reading Arthur books ;-)
My daughter is 1 and a half. I am still at work, but I think my stay-at-home wife misses having conversations with adults! She's so desperate sometimes that she'll strike up a conversation with the UPS driver or the checkout girl at the grocery store.
...Jan's face while finger-pointing.
Next: Wow, it's colder in here than...
...being at the bottom of a mine shaft (where we arrived via elevator).
Next: It was as dirty as...
She's so desperate sometimes that she'll strike up a conversation with the UPS driver or the checkout girl at the grocery store.
You mean Steve? ;-) I can relate to that.
...Michael in his rush to exit the "burning" building - an socially-conscious attempt to bring equality to the sexes, no doubt.
Next: The soup smells as good as...
...Michael's carpet.
*Next: Finally!! I've been waiting as long as...
...the 13 inches in Michael's bedroom.
Next: my computer was slower than...
edit: LT jumped in front. No cuts!
Finally!! I've been waiting as long as...
...Jim has been wanting to kiss Pam
...Kelly's last phone conversation
...it's been since Michael's last dental appointment
...Pam has for true love
...Creed's been alive
sorry.
Next: my computer was slower than...
...loaded teapot's. hahaha
no, sorry, show-related, show-related. but first a related note. one of the funniest lines in any song, i think, ((( soiler alert, this is both kinda dirty... and it's so funny it'll make you crap your pants, imo ))) tom waits sings a song about living over a burlesque club and one of the lines is "coleen's belly was shakin' like jelly and i'm gettin' harder than chinese algebra."
sooooo, my computer was slower than...
...jim waking pam up from off his shoulder.
next: that's more offensive than... (can't use oscar's line, people)
soiler alert
heehee
ferd: that was one sharp turn from
gettin' harder than chinese algebra
(ha!) to the sweetest Office scene ever. Got a bit of whiplash.
Still: that's more offensive than...
...Michael's inscription to Meredith for her birthday.
Next: That ham and cheese sandwich was as delicious as...
