She had eyes harder than last year's fruitcake.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

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.

Ouch. That's practically Xanthian.
Okay, leave off the "harder than" construction, and describe a crazy person in fandom using a Chandlerian simile.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
She was nuttier than a pecan pie at Thanksgiving.
(No offense to Nutty.)

That gal makes about as much sense as a cheetah in a squash court.

I also kinda like...
"She was nuttier than Vin Diesel's package."
"He's crazy like OCD at at the Whack-a-Mole crazy."
"She needs to be hunted down and shot with lithium darts."
