If I had his money I would burn mine.

Aint' worth a plugged nickle.

You got to fish were the fish are.

Keep yo powder dry.

He ain't worth a egg sucking dog.  Meaning he is worthless.

Don't jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.  (remember this the next time you fry frog legs)

Here's one for the folks farming in Wire Grass regions....
Sift your meal and save the brand, cause you can't make a living on sandy land!

Y'all come on over for dinner, we're going to have a rat killing!

It ain't worth the wear and tear on the old hen's ...behind.  (meaning it's a piddling business)

I had an older gentleman say this today

Sorry it took so long to get back. I’ve been herding bees in the desert today.


anybody have any clue what that means??

I gues it meant he was busy with multiple task or something

Thoughts?

I would think it is comparable to

Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

Meaning going full speed and getting nothing done.

[kingbee]

I 'spect' it is something like "hearding cats", meaning its an impossible task.

I would rather castrate a wild cat in a telephone booth

..or the one they said about me today-

Careful, she's got as many points as a porcupine

  whatever that means.

... she's got as many points as a porcupine...

Seeing that porcupines are not native sons of your native soil, perhaps it would be in-order if the folks up wind from me sent you a small breeding population so that you and the porcupine could strike up an acquaintance.

If the porcupines don't help keep your neighbors' dog in his own yard, perhaps a few cute malodorous white and black stripped kitty cats known affectionately here about's as skunks or pole cats will work.... not.  Just kidding!

haha nice pictures of puppy dogs.

Porcupine is a colloquial term for echidna, which is native here.

We already have black and white striped kitty cats, but we call them tassie devils.

[1frozenhillbilly]

busy as a three tailed (or long tailed) cat in a room full of rocking chairs
don"t call him an a&& its an insult to equines
if his brains were dynamite he couldn"t blow his nose
cold enouugh to freeze the balls off a brass monkey
aint worth the powder and shot to blow it away
so stick that up your pipe and smoke it

He is so stingy he  screams  when he has to take a dump
