The Kate Bosworth of shoulder pads

"If velvet's not your scene, epaulets provide an equally up-to-the-minute embellishment. They're like the Kate Bosworth of shoulder pads: kind of frail and spindly, but not unattractive. Am I right? Am I right?"

The Wilma Flintstone of the modern day technological world

"Well then, I finally made it into the 21st Century and purchased my very first cell phone. I know, I am the Wilma Flintstone of the modern day technological world, and for someone who loves tech stuff and gadgets, I am certain this comes as a suprise! But hey, everyone has one, and I don’t like to chat on the phone much. Yet, I am so active, and I love to keep in touch with family and friends. Not to mention my big brother keeps telling me it’s not safe traveling around these days without a cell phone… sheesh!"

The Malcolm Gladwell of dating sites

"If our SmartPhones are any indication, Gen Y/Myspace/millennial/whatevers love knowing shit, or at least thinking we know shit, and breaking dating down into a series of charts and graphs is right up our alley. OkCupid is the Malcolm Gladwell of dating sites, simplifying a seemingly complex world into a series of cocktail-party-ready stats."

The Britney Spears of trendy comfort food

"Fried chicken is like the Britney Spears of trendy comfort food. People have indulged in it in secret in past times because of the negative stereotypes that have been attached to it. But in very recent times, people have come to embrace it openly because of its uncontainable, undeniable goodness. Thankfully, fried chicken and Britney Spears are not bitter. They welcome appreciation from even those who belittled them before they gained mainstream respect."

The Vanilla Ice of murderers

"The Worst Murderer: O.J. Simpson. He's like the Vanilla Ice of murderers. He did something BIG over ten years ago and he's still riding on the coattails of his previous misdemeanor. What a loser."

The Dave Barry of the Irish dance world

"Zebadiah and Beauregard’s Front Porch – ZandB is my favorite Irish dance satirist. He is the Dave Barry of the Irish dance world. He is also a close personal friend, but believe it or not, I knew his blog before I knew him in person… and one of his posts triggered an incident two years ago which revealed to me the identity of this talented writer’s pseudonym. Since then, our families have enjoyed much fun together and have become lifelong friends."

The Humphrey Bogart of rabbits

"Petey has a very strong personality - we call him the Humphrey Bogart of rabbits! He is very attached to his foster mom and jumps in her lap (repeatedly!!) to get attention!"
