A fav of my dad's was: "He was moving like a ruptured duck" A fav of my friend Chip Williams (may he rest in peace), was: "Well, f*%k me dead in the freeway!" In the 80's a buddy and I were working on his '57 Chevy truck with a 400 sbc. It was dark, it was cold, and each of us was laid out over the front fenders trying to align something up against the firewall behind the engine and get a bolt in. I can't remember what it was but were having a hell of a time. He looked over at me, grinned and said "It's kinda like trying to stick a noodle up a wild cat's ass, ain't it?" I rolled on the floor laughing and never forgot it.

Been around a while One theory regarding the origin of the phrase is that it refers to Lord Frederick Roberts (1832-1914. 1st Earl Roberts, Roberts of Kandahar). Roberts was an Anglo-Irish soldier, born in India, who fought and commanded in India, Abyssinia, Afghanistan, and South Africa. Roberts was one of the most successful commanders of the Victorian era and was cited for numerous acts of gallantry. His finest hour was perhaps the lifting of the siege of Kandahar in 1878 in which he marched a force of 10,000 men over three hundred miles from Kabul, winning a battle and successfully lifting the siege. Well respected amongst his men, Roberts was affectionately referred to as 'Uncle Bobs'. Generally meaning 'all will be well', and often used to indicate a successful outcome, the phrase "Bob's your uncle" was a term originally used by Roberts' men to boost confidence among the ranks and imply that all would be well under his command.
Not mine , in fact I saw it on the HAMB : "Nothing says shoddy workmanship like a wrinkle in the duct tape "
