Each day, a few hundred people go to a site called OneUpMe. The site’s main game, Analogies, has a simple premise: finish the analogy presented with a response that applies to both the person and the object.  

In other words, you see “she’s like a permanent marker:” and you might write “used to sign autographs” or “I don’t trust her in my living room.”

But sometimes an answer that works for the object creates an awfully strange picture when the analogy is applied to the person.  For example, “She’s like a permanent marker: I kept her in my pocket” stirs up the idea that there is a woman small enough (or a pocket big enough) to contain a woman, and that the speaker has some sort of ownership on her.  

OUM Illustrated gives these kinds of responses both a picture and a home.  We illustrate these absurdisms so that we can all laugh and, ultimately, become better players.
