Rainy days and Mondays . . .

Well, the shuttle made it back to Earth safely. And, just in time, because Central Florida is getting POUNDED by thunderstorms today!

That got me thinking . . . like I needed any encouragement.

Nothing like talking about the weather to get overexposed to some cliche's, right?!

So, I wondered how many ways can you say, "It's raining hard"?!

How 'bout these examples:

1. It's coming down in buckets.
2. It's raining pitchforks and ____ (fill in the blank, best to put in something really soft, with extra points for messiness potential)
3. It's raining cats and dogs.
4. It's like a cow pissing on a flat rock out there (thank my Texas roots for that one).
5. It's a real toad-strangler.
6. It's a real gulley-washer.

Can you add to this list?

If not, check out this cool website I found about cliche's in general (not just stupid ones about rain). And, try to avoid them, if possible:
