Cool Thing of the Month - OneUpMe.Com

I am more Angry Birds than  Miller Analogies Test, but over the past month I have become completely addicted to Oneupme.com (shout out to David Black for turning me on).

The instructions for the site's keystone analogies game is straight forward:

Every weekday, a topic is posted consisting of a two-part phrase describing both a person and something else. For example, a post may be:

"He's like Stalinism: of Russian Descent"
or "She's like a walled city: unnecessarily defensive."

Your goal is try to think of a more clever finish to the analogy.
For example, if the topic was

"She's like conditioning shampoo: multi-tasking"

you might respond with

"always making promises she couldn't keep"
or "often found in hotel bathrooms."

After entering your one line riff, peruse the responses from an amazing assortment of poseurs and pedantry.  Vote Facebook-style via the Like button associated with each response.  Double entendre runs a muck in the game, much of it hilarious, but the top entries each day are always brilliant.

Check it out!
