busy as a one legged monkey in an ass kicking contest ... ya think?

[Joeslogic]

But ya might not be as busy as this fugative of the law (http://www.sptimes.com/2006/08/20/Floridian/Free_wheelin_.shtml)

Here is the part and the explanation for why I posted this on Barry's nuts.

He comes home, of course, because he cannot feed or clothe himself, but he will not face his new reality. This much is clear to Stanley Portnow, a Park Avenue forensic psychiatrist who evaluates Michael and files a report dated Sept. 18, 1981. Nearly 25 years later, his exasperated mother shares it with a St. Petersburg Times reporter. She says it still applies:

. . . classic post-traumatic neurosis . . .

. . . attempts to keep up a rather tough guy facade which is meant to say that nothing can really hurt him . . .

. . . not only out to prove that he is as good as but rather better than he was before the accident . . .

. . . his continued denial of his realistic state will produce more and more social adverse effects . . .

None of this registers with Michael. He returns to the streets. One day the next year, in an inexplicable show of good faith, his friend Tommy rolls up in an old Pontiac Catalina and tells Michael to give 'er a whirl.

Michael takes off his fake arms, which only get in the way. He presses himself to the wheel and hits the gas.

This has bugged me all week -

It's - "as useless as a one legged monkey at an ass kicking contest"
and - "as busy as a one legged cat covering poop."

Stop mixing metaphors.

I thought it was "as busy as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest'

or

"as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs"

or was it,

"Auburn choked like tracy lords in her first job interview"????

I'm sorry, was it Auburn who lost to Vanderbilt last year? ::)

And the team that lost to UGA beat Florida. I guess that makes UGA Nat'l Champs co-owner.

Phatboy is a cool cat. - metaphor
Phatboy is as cold as a well-diggers ass. - similie
Phatboy ran a million miles. - hyperbole
Phatboy is a genius. - lie
