porpoising walrus
A suspiciously inept simile (or metaphor)
The original: "Closer inspection revealed that the rest of the body was encased in 2-3 feet of ice, the body prostrate, suspended into the ice like a porpoising walrus." -- Charlie LeDuff, Detroit News, 28 January 2009

Excellent porpoising walrus, Ms. Fortuner!
