Dennis, up north they say "grin'in like possum in persimmon tree." Did you ever taste an unripened persimmon? It will pucker you up for the rest of the day
That reminds me of: That made my mouth draw up like purse strings!
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

I love the dialect the folks use in Newfoundland. One that made me laugh one night "By Jesus she fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down"

local sayings
Well when I was young, people in the rural community I lived in, north Alabama, would say: "I'm all over that like ants at a picnic". I'm new to forum and woodworking but this looks like a good place to learn from. Looking forward to reading y'alls post.

"All over it like a pitbull on a ham bone."
"The idea that "violence doesn't solve anything" is a historically untrue and immoral doctrine. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. People that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

On it like stick on tape has always been a favorite for me. And of course for leaving.... off like a prom dress.... or out of hair like a bald man always worked.
Two sayings local to where I grew up (Clinton County NY in the Adirondacks) that have always stuck with my brothers and I were...
"Sure Frank!" Which was said to anyone who was suspected of streching the truth. Supposedly because a man by the name of Frank Rock who lived in our town was an incredible liar. People used this phrase even a few towns over.
The other could have been the "upstate" bird. The Jesum Crow. Which was said by many instead of jesus christ during fits of anger. As in; "Jesum Crow, I just his my finger with the hammer!!!"

The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

Jim, how about:
Busier than a cat scratching on a tin roof.
Busier than a one-legged man in an a** kicking contest.
