Cliches Gone Ary

apples-pears.jpgI do not like cliches in news copy or any other writing.

I do like it when someone butchers a cliche, either on purpose or by mistake.  That’s funny.   

 We had a KTBS photographer who was the best at accidentally crafting entertaining cliches.  Two of my favs:  “He was running around like a chicken with his nose cut off.”  And, “She was driving like a bat out of a cave.”

A friend of mine from another country once told me I was comparing apples to pears. 

Your comments on cliches?  

Wipeout!

Tuesday, June 24th, 7 p.m. Central on ABC.  This will make you laugh!  I’ve seen episodes.  After seeing the episodes with commentary, I don’t think the promo ABC is currently airing does the show justice.  Click here to see it.   If you keep watching, you’ll see promos that include the commentary, then you get more of a feel for the show’s humor.

It’s Friday

Pranks Please

Friday, February 15th, 2008

The penguin prank in Mansfield was so well executed.  Suzie Talley was the queen of effective pranks when she was in college.  Hey, LindsAy, remember when I kidnapped your cow and sent you ransom notes and pictures? 

Trust me, I’m a reporter.
