Some of these aren't half bad, like a commenter said:

These are FABULOUS! As a professional writer, I have observed that one of the hardest things to teach kids is to write metaphors from the heart. Nearly every one of these metaphors is spot-on honest, and most are rollickingly funny as well. I expect most of these writers to be published some day. I am absolutely serious. The next J.D. Salinger has been quoted above.

Really reminds me of some quirky writers like Douglas Coupland and David Sedaris.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

^ They're hilarious! Very witty. I think, if I was a teacher and marked any of those, I would give them extra marks just for creativity alone XD. They may not be orthodox writing techniques but they sure are entertaining.
