    It doesn't have "as" in it but it makes me laugh.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That makes perfect sense given squirrels stereotypically eat nuts.

    Also - 'Odd as a bottle of chips' - that makes sense too, your describing something as being odd by comparing it to something that would be odd, if such a thing existed.

    mad as a bag of cats springs to mind


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,708 ✭✭✭ScissorPaperRock


    Well if this thread has shown anything it's that bags of various things are pretty mad.



    Edit: Oh and just heard this one recently - as useless as a fiddler's fart.

    Apparently fiddlers have particularly useless farts.

    yeah, but i think if you gathered up a bunch of them and put them in a bag they're bound to get a bit ticked off

    Insert "AS" in place of your choice.

    This thread is as stupid as a long shore fisherman who spends all of his money on clock radios and little tuxedos for his pet parrott.
