Subject:      CHALLENGE: Put A Metaphor in the Blender!

Bon said
- Personally, I'd rather learn to navigate the riptides than be stuck
- without wind in my sails.  (How's *that* for a mixed metaphor? |) )

that's good, but let's see what everyone can come up with, shall we?

THE CHALLENGE: Bon was talking about the volume (a deluge of
information) and variety of information in newsgroups, suggesting that
each of us must develop our own way of filtering.  So - what's your best
mixed metaphor describing that or another situation?  Come, come, let's
not be bashful - let's blend some images and watch them crunch!

How about - When you're keyboarding the big ones, you don't waste time
hanging ten on a mouse!

[boo!]

all right, let's see you do better!
