\"Democrat_cold\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I recall something like this from Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Colder than a witch's tit,<\/span>
Colder than a bucket of penguin shit,<\/span>
Colder than a hair on a polar bear's ass<\/span>
Colder than the frost on a champagne glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The possibilities are endless:<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder than the frozen heart of a leftist who loves Humanity but hates his neighbor. (MavPhil<\/em> original!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder'n a fairy's fanny in Fargo in February. (MavPhil<\/em> original!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder'n a witch's tit in a cast-iron bra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder'n a ticket taker's smile at the Ivar Theater on a Saturday night. (Tom Waits, Diamonds on My Windshield<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder than a mother-in-law's kiss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder than moonlight on a tombstone. <\/span><\/div>\n

Colder than a polar bear's PJs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.<\/span><\/p>\n

There's 15 feet of snow in the East and its's colder'n a well digger's ass, colder'n a well digger's ass . . . . (Tom Waits)<\/span><\/p>\n
