When I first learned about similes and metaphors, I thought they were the best thing since sliced bread.  I try to keep my eyes open for unique and beautiful phrases.  One I particularly like, though I don’t have cause to use, is "as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."  

What are some of the best you’ve found?   :D

We had a bit of idiomatic fun of this sort a while back on this thread.
