The Jane Goodall of dumbasses

"I really hate television. Ok, that’s not true at all. I don’t really drink so mindless television is my vice. My boyfriend is continually perplexed that someone 'so smart' can be so enamored with Say Yes to the Dress (for the record, I draw the line at The Bachelor). I’m still trying to convince him that my obsession is really anthropological in nature, I’m the Jane Goodall of dumb asses, or so I like to think."

The Martin Sheen of athletic foot protection

"and Jack,
that old hoss,
took every washing,
every bitter-tongued bleaching,
every grass stain and minor tear with dignity and resolve.
he was the martin sheen of athletic foot protection."

The John Gotti of toe rings

"I don’t have any power in the bracelet industry. (Toe rings are a different story, I’m like the John Gotti of toe rings). But my hope is that Silly Bandz will heed my words of wisdom. And maybe you will too."

The Ross Perot of death metal

"Right. Ephemeral and enigmatic and hanging out there. And 'Fraudulent Cloth' and 'Faux King Christ' are very direct statements about very specific topics, whereas the rest of the tunes are sort of quintessential Kelly. He speaks very metaphorically even when we are in regular conversation. I always joke that he is like the Ross Perot of death metal, because Ross Perot (if anyone remembers) was a political candidate ten years ago, and everything was a metaphor. So Kelly would say, 'It’s like you’re driving a car, right? And you are at a stoplight and you don’t want to just go…'."

The Gilligan of omnipotent beings

"Basically, God, is a clueless fuck-up who no doubt is intimately familiar with the phrase, 'My bad.' Despite his omnipotence, he can't seem to see what's coming and continuously gets blindsided by his own creations. he's the Gilligan of omnipotent beings."

The LL Cool J of heart attacks

"I think we should stop calling it a 'heart attack'. It's so VIOLENT. We should call it a coronary artery blockage, or something else... something specific. Heart attack is so scary. At some point during your heart attack, someone is going to tell you that you are 'having a heart attack,' and who wants to hear that? When you get cirrhosis they don't call it a 'Liver Attack'. I guess heart attack must feel like you are being attacked. I just know I am going to have a heart attack, and this is what I am going to be thinking about. I'll be the L.L. Cool J of Heart Attacks (don't call it a comeback!). If you're so tough, LL, why are you quibbling over semantics?"

The Rosa Parks of the sock world

"I can’t agree with you more: Sensis is really taking the bull by the horns by supporting and promoting the 'serious issue' of endemic socklessness in Australia. You guy’s are pretty much the Rosa Parks of the sock world."

The Sacha Baron Cohen of fabric

"Patchwork is funny. It’s like the Sacha Baron Cohen of fabric. Everywhere it goes it stirs people up and they either love it or hate it! Patchwork has always been around but just recently I’ve noticed an influx of patchwork within our visual culture. It could very well be that I just caught sight of a small pool of brands, but let me show you what I mean… here are some examples (from mainstream to not so):"

The Ke$ha of burritos

"Finally, the Worst Burritos Award: shared by the place in Tresidder, The Treehouse, Uno Mas and the worst of the worst: Chipotle. In Danny’s words (as he wants them in his epitaph): 'A good burrito does not start with a McDonald’s branding or end with white rice.' Thank you, West Coast, for teaching me that Chipotle is the Ke$ha of burritos."

The Liz Lemon of 1815

"Jane Austen is the Liz Lemon of 1815. Lizzy Bennet is the Carrie Bradshaw of 1796. (Without the pre-marital sex, of course, but, I'm sure after the marriage papers were signed, Lizzie rocked the fall-front breeches off of Mr. Darcy.)"

The Sally Struthers of hipsters

"Snobbie, your mendicant recommendations are spot on. But the last one disturbed me. Do you really intend to be the Sally Struthers of hipsters? Have you just been trying to gin up our sympathy for them all these years so that 'for the cost of a cup of coffee a day', a tatooed college grad can have a soy machiato?"

The Dirk Nowitzki of airports

"My flight is delayed a long time. People around me are freaking out. We eventually board, and it is quite possible that I am on a flight with Demarre Carroll. I land in O'Hare, which is the Dirk Nowitzki of airports--it puts up impressive numbers most of the year, but always completely chokes when the pressure is on. Everything in O'Hare is delayed--except my connecting flight, which left right on time moments before I got to the gate."
