You've no doubt heard the old expression, "as useless as teats on a boar hog." Or, as I've more often seen it spelled or heard it pronounced, "tits on a boar hawg."

I propose that we immediately throw out this standard of uselessness and replace it with one that is more timely.

"Useless as a politician."

Now, granted, absolutely nothing is ever going to be quite as useless as a politician, so the phrase would have to always be used in the negative.

Examples:
  • Nothing is as useless as a politician.
  • Her boyfriend may be good-for-nothing, drug-using piece of shit, but at least he's not as useless as a politician.
  • That woman is almost as useless as a politician, but at least when she dies, her organs can be harvested and might save a life.


Etc!

So, let's get on this. Start using it in print. Let's do this.

Which Button?

So this meme is going around. You're presented with these eight buttons of various colors, and I assume you can pick one to press and it bestows upon you the power described thereunder.

I saw it and thought that rather than give a one-word + one-sentence answer, I'd blather on for several paragraphs and treat it seriously. Because apparently I have nothing better to do right this second. :) And I'm going to tag it 'writing' because one of my characters has a couple of these abilities, and quite of bit of who he is is based on the ability and the problems it causes in his life.

But I will hide it so you don't have to scroll if you're reading this on your friends page. Because that's the kind of great person I am. )
Yeah, I'mma go with Blue. Because flying. But my hand would hover over Green for a long time before pressing Blue. :)

I admit it openly: I love the show Inside the Actors Studio. Of course, the best part is often near the end when James Lipton asks the guest of the evening the list of questions most famously associated with Marcel Proust and (heavily) modified by Bernard Pivot (Lipton's idol) for use on his own talk show in France.

So I thought I'd start this meme (if it's been done, I don't know about it).

In deference to [livejournal.com profile] prunesnprisms, I've <lj-cut> this. For those of you who are interested, there is a recipe for cream of potato soup inside the cut. The soup is damned good, if I do say so myself.
