Hi All! Golly, it's been a coon's age since I posted! I've been busy as a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Here's some fun ones from my family (warning: some are, uh, "colorful.")

Dad:
"It's colder than a witches teet on the shady side of an iceberg." Or, "it's colder than a well digger's butt."
Driving over a mountain pass to go skiing: "It's slicker than cat poop on a linoleum floor."
When us kids took forever: "Hurry up, you're slower than molasses in January."
When surprised: "Well slap my arse and call me Sally!"
Also, "I have to talk to a man about a horse" on the way to the bathroom.

Mom:
"oh for Pete's sake" or "for crying out loud"
When I'd leave the door open or slam the screen she'd yell, "shut the door, were you born in a barn?"
Or when us kids would whine about our dinner she'd say "this isn't a restaurant." or "go tell that to the Marines."
If we we naughty, "You're going to hell in a handbag."
"It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye"
"Pretty doesn't last, but stupid does." (I still love that one.)
"Like the Dickens" as in run like the Dickens. She'd also call us "little Dickens" when we were naughty.
"Hold your horses!" or "Hold onto your britches!"
If someone was pregnant she'd "have a bun in the oven."
Oh, and the most famous mom's saying "because I said so, that's why!"
