Crazydog | Thursday, October 25, 2001 - 12:03 pm   Just posted about Lenny and now I am trying to recall all of the snappy expressions I used to know to allude to someone's lack of intelligence. Here's what I'm starting with: The lights are on, but nobody's home. The lights are flashing and the gates are down, but the train ain't coming. The elevator doesn't go up to the top floor. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. A few cards shy of a full deck. A few bricks shy of a load. More, anyone? |

Corriecat | Thursday, October 25, 2001 - 03:59 pm   A few fries short of a Happy Meal. The host on Weakest Link is always coming up with new ones. |
Sunshinemiss | Thursday, October 25, 2001 - 04:23 pm   There is a great thread under General discussions with tons of these, I posted my favorite- "if dumb was dirt he could cover an acre" |
Neko | Thursday, October 25, 2001 - 04:28 pm   A few clowns short of a circus |
Murpol | Thursday, October 25, 2001 - 04:30 pm   Not the brightest crayon in the box |

Micknrc | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 09:01 am   Whose village is missing their idiot? (thanks, Weakest Link's A.Robinson) |
Ophiliasgrandma | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 09:23 am   Mick: In Vancouver, Wa there is a club for collectors of minature houses called the VILLAGE IDIOTS. I've always thought that was such a clever name. |
Micknrc | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 11:27 am   O-G, I've always thought "village idiot" was a funny turn of phrase b/c my irish grandda used to tell of a "VI" back in his hometown in Ireland, but not in a mean way-- funny, warm and accepting of all the different characters it takes to make up this crazy world... |
Tntitanfan | Monday, October 29, 2001 - 07:34 pm   Not the brightest bulb on the tree! |
Ophiliasgrandma | Wednesday, November 07, 2001 - 09:37 am   I read this one somewhere the other day and I don't think it's been listed yet. He's a couple of bubbles off plumb. |
Guinevere | Wednesday, November 07, 2001 - 12:10 pm   An expression Molly Ivins once used, I believe to describe a Texas politician (not I don't think, the prez, alas): "If he were any dumber, you'd have to start watering him twice a week". |
