Make my feedback as funny as a frog in a sock.

Help me write my ebay feedback...

I'm a bit daggy and like to write my ebay feedback in similies. For no particular reason... just 'cause I'm a dag*. I've done over eighty and now I've run out of ideas. Can the brilliance that is Ask MeFi help me please?

Examples of my work so far:

-at fast as a greased gazelle
-as easy as getting back to kansas with toto
-as free as a greenpeace boat
-as fun as a haggis


the broad areas to comment upon are speed of posting, accuracy of description, "niceness" of the person and ease of transaction. Basically I need to comment on either the process or the item. They can be as obscure or as ironic as you can manage. I most often buy french clothes for my daughters so they can reference that too if you like.

Would love some help, need to leave a sh!tload of feedback and want to reach 100. Thanks in advance groovy Ask MeFi folk.

* dag= untrendy... Australian slang. Can also mean a sheep's bum. You can decide which one I am.

I pretty much only use the Feedback Generator with vocab set to frivolous. I decided it wasn't worth coming up with the 'small talk' which is expected for responses.

Response by poster: It's a great tool, but I'm looking for similies. Otherwise it's as useful as tits on a bull. ;-)

I've used "shipping was as fast as something really fast."
