Chillin' like Gilligan


So, Toasty Joe sent me an IM this morning stating that the Mets are "gellin' like Magellan". I, of course, replied that they are "on a tear like a steak medium rare". That reminded me of a 12 page word document sent to me by someone who will remain nameless that outlines every simile in Beastie Boys lyrics. ("Like the bun to the burger - like the burger to the bun, Like the cherry to the apple - to the peach to the plum", "The girl is crafty like ice is cold").

So, in honor of the gellin', medium-rare Mets, I have a game for today. I am going to try to work as many asinine rhyming similes in to normal conversation today as possible. I can't wait for my 2:00 staff meeting!

It's on like Donkey Kong
I'm out like a trout with the gout

Reading this, I was immediately reminded of an early-90s SNL sketch called "I'm Chillin'" with Chris Farley and Chris Rock. Luckily I was able to find the transcript (thank you Google). Lots of good similies in here, but my favorite bit (which is admittedly not simile-related) is:

Onski: ...Yo, Bizee! Yo, Bizee! It's about that time!

B Fats: Time to bust a rhyme?

Onksi: Naw, Bizee.

B Fats: Time for Gertrude Stein?

The first week, you get acquainted with your new routine,
and the end of the diet seems so far away.
You finally screw up your courage - even if the news is bad,
it's best to know the truth, you tell yourself - and then do the test.
If you go to the market for buying any weight loss product I am sure you will definitely get confused.
