The Aquaman of baked goods

"Nige: You're like the Aquaman of baked goods.

Me: THANK you!

Nige: I'm glad you decided to take that as a compliment--no one wants to be the Aquaman of anything."

The Dr. Zoidberg of international relations

"The fact remains, the Australian troops could leave tomorrow. It wouldn't make much of a difference to the Iraqis - on either side - and it would sure as hell make us a lot safer, even if the U.S. did shut us out of trade talks as a punishment for not doing as we're told. But it won't happen. Australia has become the Dr. Zoidberg of international relations - so pathetically greatful for attention, we'll do anything the U.S. asks of us. Well, I'm sick of it. My taxes may be paying for this, but I'll dust off that old cliche - Not In My Name."

The Jim and Pam of tempura

"Complete and utter perfection. And my favorite bite all night. The delicately peeled cherry tomato was at the sweet red height of its ripeness, exactly as warm as one just plucked off a sun-soaked vine, lightly clothed in a fall jacket of tempura and a cap of pungent green wasabi, dusted with a snowfall of sea salt. I never would have thought this flavor combination could work so well. But the tomato and wasabi have great chemistry – the Jim and Pam of tempura, if you will. (Oh how I miss The Office!) Her simple sweetness, his kick of feistiness. A perfect (and completely adorable, don’t you think?) pair."

The Jackie Chan of washing machines

"Laundry is a task. Not the kind of task I'm used to; I can't just drag my loaded hamper down the stairs and hope that someone tosses the whites in separately with a scoop of Tide. No, here, it requires pulling out an antique of a washing machine, hand-loading it with water from the broken well, and pulling suds-sodden clothes out after an hour and a half of being the recipients of the Jackie Chan of washing machines. In the 33 degrees Fahrenheit water, I hand-wrung my clothes, pondered whether or not to rinse the excess soap out, decided that's WAY too much work (and, who knows, maybe a little extra soap means they stay cleaner, longer) and trudged my pile of hopefully-cleaner garments back upstairs to commence the drying process in front of my space heater."

The Joan Rivers of the sausage world

"You can see from the six slices picture that these bangers have a superb texture. If you likes it rough, these are the boys for you! John’s Old English are definitely the Joan Rivers of the sausage world, coarse, dry, and crumbly. Delicious! (The sausages, not Joan). I heartily recommend them, and very much enjoyed them for Sunday breakfast. Good work John’s!"
