The First Annual Arthur T. Lo Awful Mixed Metaphor Contest!

Hey kids, have you ever wanted to monkey with the already confusing English language? Well here's your chance! We here at Alaskaboy are announcing the first annual Arthur T. Lo Awful Mixed Metaphor Contest! Enter as often as you wish, entertain your friends, and bastardize the English language! There will be virtually no prizes! Here's the deal: Take a metaphor, any metaphor and twist it until it is almost unrecognizable and makes little or no sense. For example (as take from the comments section of Pathologically Speaking, and attributed to "Arhtur" (if that is his real name)):

"the cream will rise to the top, but the rising tide will raise all boats"

Now go! I want more responses than I have ever received before. For all of you who read, but never comment, this is your chance for creativity and semi-immortality! I have only the highest expectations.

Our next post: Excellence in Futility

This is harder than I thought.

Let sleeping dogs lie like a cheap rug.

I blew a gasket after being driven crazy.

When in Rome, wear a funny hat.

So topical!

Strong work Kyle. All the world is a stage when you grab the bull by the horns.
