I like it too. He was full of old-timey expressions. My favorite was "Useless as tits on a boar." I had to ask my mother what it meant the first time I heard it. One day he said "cold as a witch's teat" and Grandma had a Methodist fit.

It's hardly worse than swallowing a gullet's worth of gum every day. Bluh!

Selling his soul is the worst thing that he, as Christian, could do.

Just to totally miss the point of the entire post by commenting on a woman's looks, I gotta say that HRC looks pretty badass in that black leather coat.

That just sounds like a dude who's losing it. Pretty soon he'll start talking with a different accent...

I was actually in a balloon factory once. They inflated 1 out of every 1000 or so to test for quality. But you're almost right, the porcupine would not be very busy there. Anyway, it's a very OLD expression, I heard it from my Grandpa 50+ years ago, and he was almost 80 at the time. I was also in a coffin factory once, not far from Sedalia, MO. That was surprisingly interesting, and quite unforgettable. No porcupines there, though.
