How crazy?

“She was crazier than a rat in a coffee can”

Just when you start feeling ashamed of your species, you hear language that makes you proud to be human. I’d credit the above, but I read it somewhere top-secret.

What’s your favorite?

    Kentucky will give W. Virginia a run for the money. “You are not strong enough to pull a greased string out of a cats ass.” and “You are strong enough to pull the handle out of a green maul”.

    Another favorite, “Busier then a one legged man at an ass kicking contest.”.

    I have no idea how a greased string gets in a cats ass by the way.

    This one has to take the cake….
    “richer than 6 inches up a bull’s ass”.
    (when referring to an extremely sweet dessert)
    I’ll give all the credit to my ex for that one

    “Hotter than two rats bumping uglies in a wool sock” is my favorite.

  4. I always liked this pair of old memphis blues slang phrases:

    “get your ashes hauled” – attain sexual gratification

    “I will turn your money green” – all purpose boast, come-on, etc. Can be used as “I will make money for you,” “I will screw your brains out,” or just as a general “I will satisfy you with my actions.”

  5. i always like the religious permutations:
    christ on toast
    christ on lasagne
    christ on a bicycle
    mary in a launderette
    sweet bleeding christ and ice cream

  6. i hope this isn’t a family blog, but my fav is straight from a tim sandlin book:

    “well fuck me with a spoon.”

    say it when surprised.

    and, by the way, what kind of bug is pictured in your header?

    Well it does happen to be a family blog, but it’s a family where it’s okay to say “Well fuck me with a spoon.”

    In England they’re slightly more polite about it: “Well cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for forty minutes”

    The bug?
    D, what sort of bug *is* that?
    And how are the shadows coming?

    Um… its a dead bug and the shadows… the shadows are… eh…

    The shadows are coming! Run for the hills!

  11. “so stupid they couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with directions on the heel.”

    Hotter than a half fucked fox in a forest fire.

    Learned that from a preacher’s son.
