What does this simile mean?
And though everyone seemed content you could feel the tension floating around like stale oatmeal in a barrel of cider.

1. The writer wasn't paying attention in his creative writing class
I hope that didn't come from a published work.

6. It was a dark and stormy night....
The winner of this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest:

"Folks say that if you listen real close at the height of the full moon, when the wind is blowin' off Nantucket Sound from the nor' east and the dogs are howlin' for no earthly reason, you can hear the awful screams of the crew of the “Ellie May," a sturdy whaler Captained by John McTavish; for it was on just such a night when the rum was flowin' and, Davey Jones be damned, big John brought his men on deck for the first of several screaming contests."
- David McKenzie, Federal Way, WA
