Junkyard is my one downfall. I can't ever seem to gather enough ridiculous phrases, but here's what I've got for you today:
[1] "The world is small because it rains everywhere at once."
-- I was reading through my girlfriend's old creative writing notebook, when she found and pointed out a piece she really liked from class. It was pretty nice, but when I was finished reading it, my eyes immediately jumped to the top of the page, where the phrase "The world is small because it rains everywhere at once" was written without reference to anything else that I could discern. I went absolutely crazy over that one phrase, and I think it irritated her that I couldn't find the same appreciation for the story she really liked, but I am a sucker for phrases like that. It immediately struck me.
[2] "You're nothing but a whorecrux!"
-- I ran into a friend of mine from last semester recently, and we had much to talk about. We somehow got on the subject of Harry Potter, and it didn't take long to turn one of the central plot points in the series into a dirty--and nerdy--insult. I found myself yelling this on the second floor of the Humanities building, and it stuck with me.
This is all that comes to mind for now, but since I get four posts for this, I'll keep you posted.
