It sounds to me like somebody down at the local paper is over-doing it just a little bit–here’s an excerpt from a story about last week’s hailstorm: “Many people?s flowers were completely stripped of petals and vegetables were pummeled with the hard rockets of ice as they cascaded from the heavens.” Hard rockets of ice, huh? I think that’s overly-dramatic. It hailed big time. Whoopteedoo.
Hahahahaha
It’s like one of those papers you had to write in Elementary and Jr. High where you had to use “descriptive words” and it ended up being just ridiculous.
LOL… I noticed that in the paper… I thought it was kind of odd.
