The David Ortiz of the Phish catalog

"A nice Ghost, that was funky, spacey, jazzy and straight ahead rock and roll all in the span of 14 minutes, followed and the first set closed with an Antelope that was solid but never quite kicked into high gear. Something about this song still seems to be missing a little bit. Always enjoyable but not quite the monster it once was. Perhaps it is the David Ortiz of the Phish catalog – always respected and revered even if unable to reach quite the same heights."

The Phil Jackson of the kitchen

"Chef Lou was like the Phil Jackson of the kitchen, imploring me to relax. Apparently, I was gritting my teeth and holding lettuce in a death grip. At home I empty the lettuce mixture from the bag into a bowl and in the words of Chef Emeril 'Bam!'"

The Miss Piggy of dogs

"Anyone who knows Gerda knows that she’s the Miss Piggy of dogs, completely self-absorbed. Her beliefs are simple: pay attention to her, pet her, pet her more. For her to suddenly enjoy Theo’s company means only one thing—there’s something in it for her. Indeed, as soon as he started spitting up yummy milk and solid food, she became his personal groomer. Theo loves the slobber, and it has certainly brought them closer together."

The Laverne and Shirley of (adolescent) man-made media sexpots

"Hot on the heels of Weird Science, a team of washed up television executives met up over martinis to discuss female robot shows to fill the coveted 1 - 1:30PM time slot usually occupied by Press Your Luck and Matlock reruns. Two bottles of Beefeater later, the boob tube was ready to get it’s own robotic Real Doll. Kelly LeBrock and Tiffany Brissette were about to take the world by storm as the Laverne and Shirley of (adolescent) Man-Made media sexpots."

The Megan Fox of deep-fried products at the rodeo

"Deep-fried Oreos are the Megan Fox of deep-fried products at the Rodeo. At once decadent and comely, they are in the end filthy and shameful. I visited a trailer with an actual Oreo sign on top. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a sanctioned dealer. I wasn't going to screw around with some amateur putting store-brand cookies in a vat of pancake batter."

The Dexter Morgan of bowling

"(Even though he's the douche who murdered Silhouette, I like him a lot. I think of him as the Dexter Morgan of bowling. The Harry in his life probably told him that it's only okay to kill pin boys, because they sabotage the lanes and try to throw games.)"

"Under the broad comedy heading, "I just finished a film called 'High School,' which for me is really, really fun. I play the deranged marijuana dealer. I describe him as the Francis Ford Coppola of the weed game," says Brody — who is currently being seen as 1950s-'60s rock 'n' roll and R&B record label owner Leonard Chess in the musically irresistible 'Cadillac Records.'"

"I just feel like the Kim Kardashian of hair. People know about me (my hair) but I have no idea why when there are more well-known hair 'celebrities' out there. Every time I do a feature, receive a PM, Fotki comment I just thing 'why'? Maybe I am still battling a form of hair anorexia. :-."

The Dwyane Wade of economists

"Robert Samuelson is a top economist who gets a wide audience, mostly due to his Newsweek column. I find him to be the most consistently politically-neutral economist around, think of him as the Dwyane Wade of economists; talented, hard-working and responsible. You get the sense that he goes wherever the data leads him."

The Clark Kent of crapping at work

"I am the clark kent of crapping at work. If I’m taking a dump and someone who obviously doesn’t follow my rule above comes in and starts crapping, I’ll wait him out. He will come and go, and I may learn his identity when he leaves but he’ll never learn mine unless he remembers my shoes. Oh hey Bob from accounting, nice splatter echo. Glad you could share that. Never talk to me again. I’ve had guys try to wait me out, but they didn’t know who they were dealing with. They are clearly outmatched. I will die on that toilet if necessary. The longest I’ve ever had to wait is 35 minutes and there was a sports section in there to pass the time. I realize that I could possibly run into a string of several crappers in a row and spend days in the john, but I haven’t had to yet."

The Tina Turner of donuts

"I decided to bring in donuts and orange juice for the office today. After saying their “oh donuts are so fattening comment” everyone ate one, and then raved about how good Krispy Kreme is. Archie (our free lance creative at the moment) even went as far as to say “Krispy Kreme donuts really are the Tina Turner of donuts.” So I suppose they liked them."

The Sammy Sosa of community college students

"Long story short, I've taken Adderall every day for almost the past two years. At first, it was awesome. I became the Sammy Sosa of community college students: I went back to school, focused in class, brought my GPA up, and decided I wanted to be a writer. However, there were three things that it also did to me that I'm now just starting to feel the affects of -- increased anxiety, not wanting to do anything without swallowing my orange friend, and a reliance on it to go #2."

The Jean Grey of the All My Children world

"She’s the Jean Grey of the All My Children world. That’s right, folks. Dixie Cooney is dead. Again. Unlike last time when she died off screen, this time around we see everyone paying respects to the body lying in the hospital as well as showing her as a ghost.. Anytime a major character dies in a comic book or soap opera all I think about is how they are going to come back, feeling that their death is a cheap ploy to unimaginatively develop some plot. When Marlena died on Days a few years ago and they even showed her being embalmed. I was irate when she and everyone she killed ended up on a poorly explained island. Now I’m wondering how they will explain the return of Dixie, when it happens and I’m sure it will. I’m also wondering if she will help solve the murders post mortem they way Gillian did when she died back in the day. It should be noted that Gillian never came back from the dead."

The Boba Fett of the Muppet universe

"He's ultimately stopped by the gigantic gamma-irradiated Muppet called Animal, which itself sounds like it should be the creature in a Peter Benchley novel. But you can bet that Snake Walker is still out there somewhere stalking Kermit even to this day, the Boba Fett of the Muppet universe. It's comforting to think of Kermit, even while romancing Miss Piggy or engaging in witty conversation with Gonzo, constantly casting an eye over his shoulder"
