To go for the crudity . . .
She had eyes harder than what was in my pants.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sigh.

Thanks, Connie!
Sometimes, it's painfully obvious that I have a real addiction to mid-century pulp.

What is even happening?
She had eyes harder than cheeks, softer than bone. What?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"She had eyes harder than the Hope Diamond, and a history twice as cursed."
Nice construction. Reminds me of the line in Ball of Fire describing a sore throat: "Red as the Daily Worker and twice as sore."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Plei wins.
She had eyes harder than the granite I was taking her for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She was nuttier than a pecan pie at Thanksgiving.
(No offense to Nutty.)
