F is for Forgetta 'Bout It

I'm knee-deep in revisions and about to run babbling down the cul-de-sac, my neighbors hate it when I do that, so I've decided I need a fun break.  Today I have decided that "F" is for Forget about anything important today and just focus on things that are light hearted.  So I pulled together a few things that always make me smile...even chuckle a a bit...

This is a list of hilarious metaphors that highschool students submitted as part of a creative writing assignment.  My favorite is: # 10 - McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.  Oy!  Thats a visual I can't un-imagine. This is timeless stuff, people.

I recently received an email with funny exam answers that kids submitted. They range from a kid coloring 100 consecutive 'C' answers on his scantron...it was a True/False test.  To some very skilled doodling by obviously talented kids.  Here is one of my favorites.

Oh, and for those of you that survived April Fool's Day unscathed, I give you something worthy of mention. I saw this on Flickr. It just goes to show that I'm not the only one trying to get the girl's team on the board with some prank scores.

On a final note, I leave you with some amazing examples of what happens when graphic artists get bored.  Wow.  And I thought repeatedly hitting the Stumble! button was fun.
