Excellent catch.

Old cellar user used to find mixed metaphors.

"He was pursued by a sea of troubles"

"You buttered your bread now lie in it"

I added the category of attempted and failed metaphors.

"Nobody has been able to take my argument and ridicule it with bullets"

"He made out like a Band-Aid"
