Have just been wondering - I’ve got so used to seeing Orlando as dorky-but-sweet Will Turner, how easy will it be to switch back to seeing Orlando as a kick-ass elf warrior when the TT EE and RotK come out?
Like falling off a log: from the difficulty of balancing on logs crossing creeks--unpleasant to land in the water, but the water cushions your fall.
Easy as pie: involving no leavening in the pie crust, just mix the flour and the fat to make dough, and wrap it around some filling, meat or fruit or such. Much easier than cake.
A walk in the park: as opposed to bushwhacking through the wilderness, without paths cleared or any directional markers.
A few more?
A cake walk: from the custom of the prize-giving contest whereby walking in a circle to music, and halting in the correct numbered space awards one a prize. No skill or even particular ability beyond walking is required. And the prize is usually some form of baked good.
Like shooting fish in a barrel: Pretty self explanatory, there. You will always get a fish, I suppose. Though why no one ever points out that you also are likely to get a barrel that no longer hold water, and splinters all through your legs, and a pulverized, inedible fish...well. It's just a metaphor.
I like your analogy best, I think. Can I roll about on a bed of leaves with Legolas, though? that sounds good.
Gosh, linaelyn. That is rather educational. The stuff about rolling about on a bed of leaves with Legolas, I mean. Can I join you? *hopeful look Or at least have him when you're finished?
