I've been out doing yardwork today. I'm as worn out as the elastic from Dolly Parton's first training bra.
Ima be on you like a bad suit if you don't stop...He touched the wire, then he lit up like a 1st-level cleric casting a Detect Evil spell on Satan's Used Condom.

Not necessarily.
A guy I was in college with went on to a job as an engineer for a local council in the UK. Being the most junior engineer on the team, he was stuck with the graveyard 'on-call' duty, and one morning at about 4am, a call came in from a member of the public, which went something like this:
Old lady: Hello, I want to report that the street lamp outside my house is glowing.
Engineer: Yes, madam, that is normal during the hours of darkness
Old lady: No, no, I don't mean the lamp is glowing; the whole lamp post is glowing red.
Engineer: Oh, I see. There must be some kind of short circuit that is flowing to ground through the metal post. I will get a repair crew out there as soon as possible. In the mean time, please could you make sure nobody touches, or goes too close to the post, it could be very dangerous, and they could get a nasty shock.
Old lady: I know. My poodle already found out.
Well I'll be. This place is gettin' teachier than a room full of school marms.
Around here, we call that a family reunion. Or dinner.Well I'll be. This place is gettin' teachier than a room full of school marms.
It's okay, I understand the difference and have already apologized for my gaffe. I'd use my super-mod powers for personal gain by changing the thread title and my OP to hide my shame if my personal sense of ethics wasn't a lighthouse beacon on a mountaintop (that's a metaphor). As it stands the shame of my grammatical faux-pas is going to stick around like a kid with his tongue frozen to a flagpole (that's a simile). Oh well, I can take it. I'm tougher than a two dollar steak.
