The 12 most ridiculous similies in music

I really miss my Mac. I'm at my new job right now and forced to use a PC. Maybe it's because I'm so used to Mac OS that I'm whining, but the PC is so awkward. It's like riding a bike. I remember how to do everything and can do it with some thought. But it's so not intuitive.

...says the Mac snob

I came across this article in Cracked Magazine. I've always thought of Cracked as the Mad Magazine wannabe. This article is hilarious, though. Two of my faves are their description of Patrick Swayze's "She's like the wind" and Alanis Morrisette's "Ironic:"

Has anyone, in the history of mankind, ever needed a knife and ironically wound up with 10,000 spoons instead?

We're trying to imagine the circumstances, but each scenario seems more unlikely than the last:

  • You work at the spoon factory, and the only way to unjam a cog in the spoon-making machine is to grease it by spreading butter over it.
  • You invited the band 10,000 Maniacs to a dinner party, and the caterer, worried that they were in fact 10,000 maniacs, thought it best to limit their access to sharp items.
  • You are armed for an invasion of Cereal Land, but the gates are being guarded by two juicy 72-ounce steaks.
