@ Steve:
"Dead as a doornail" is the correct colloquialigism. Carpenters used to band the tail of nails over to make sure it could not be removed, hence it was 'dead.'
Most of my favourite colourful idioms 1. Arise from my time in Russia, or 2.are patently dirty (c.f. I'm a sailor)
"No one eats the first pancake"
"Don't string noodles on my ears"
"Don't powder my brain"
"I'm not performing intercourse on this feline, I am merely securing its cranium"
"Let's walk down the hill & perform intercourse on all the female bovine rather than running down and doing so to only one"
The only one suitable for Saturday mornings comes from the under-rated Sci-Fi series Space: Above & Beyond.
"Easier than eating pancakes"
However, it has been my experience that devouring souls is pretty darn simplistic too, but not as many people have that frame of reference.
