"Jose Cuervo's Oranjo, Citrico, and TropiƱa are even better than Jean-Claude: they're the Baldwin Brothers of tequilas -- premium, smooth, slightly sweet, each a unique variation on the other's distinctive flavor."

The Cameron Diaz of armed conflict
"Shoshana Johnson, an African American, was badly hurt, and Lynch's Native American friend and room-mate, Lori Piestewa, was the first US woman soldier to die in Iraq. Neither was considered suitable to be the Cameron Diaz of armed conflict. Lynndie England, the smirking sexual abuser holding a prisoner on a leash and posing beside a pyramid of naked men, was more marketable. She was the transgressor whose betrayal of her sex and profession served to highlight the goodness of most other comrades. England, who later bore her co-tormentor's baby, and Lynch were made promoters for a coalition clutching at virtue and at victory."

The Raquel Welch of protein sources
"Grass-fed beef
The Raquel Welch of protein sources – the original and the best. Ignore grain-reared beasts: the fatty acids in grass-fed beef are of the healthier omega-3 variety and also contain conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which reduces body fat and builds lean muscle. Don’t order it too well done though: 'Charring is carcinogenic,' says Bowerman. 'Roasting or pan searing is much better.' Do have a cow, just don’t grill it."

The Han Solo of peas
"Calbee Snapea Crisps - I've been addicted to these for a while, (I prefer the Caesar flavor, but the Original doesn't get Caesar schmutz on your hands). Although...I'm beginning to suspect they are pulverized peas poured into some sort of pea-magma and then into pea-shaped molds, which makes 'em sorta reconstituted-lookin', like the Han Solo of peas.***"

The Joe Strummer of orgasms
"Prince, 'Sexuality' — Have you listened to 'Sexuality' today? If not, you are wasting your summer and it isn’t even June yet. 'Stand up! Organize!,' the Joe Strummer of orgasms commands his army of hair-hoppers. Revolution hair style now!"

The Tom Cruise of near-food items
"Freezing rain fell as I crept home last night. I don't mind driving a few extra miles to stock up on potted meat product -- truly the Tom Cruise of near-food items -- if the price is right, but Kroger's had only sixty-three cases."
