more of a sauce, less of a glaze?

I'm speechless. I can't pick a worst one. Butterball thigh. I just... haven't the words. Eagle eyes of a bunch of crows? What was he thinking? I mean, how long had he been staring at the page when he thought, "Yeah! ...eagle eyes of a bunch of crows.' That's perfect!"

What should carry more weight: bad dialogue (Oh-la-jolly well-la), bad metaphors, squickish descriptions, unintended hilarity? What about the one that hits all three? Like Zorro! OK, I vote for that one, #3.

Yeah, #3 was pretty bad. You'd think any woman confronted with a penis that flaps around that much would take it down with a stun gun. Geez louise, it sounds more dangerous than a 5-year-old with a bb gun!
