From Alaska during the Valdez oil spill: Is that an otter in your pocket or are ya just glad to see me?
Pertaining to LA freeways: Let's hurry up and wait.
A few from Missouri: As tasty as a turd sandwich. Dumb as a doorknob. Missour-ah.

OK,
Hank Caylor loves these things (he hails from Austin),
I pulled a few from his R&I interview:
"Come on down to Boulder & we'll get nuttier than squirrel sh#t"
"I'm hotter than a two peckered goat""
"Give me two belayers and I'll fold this taco"
"...he's shaking like a dog trying to pass a peach pit"

Trailer Park Boys is chock full of 'em...
"The boys are playing a shitgame Randy"
"What do you mean Mr. Lahey?"
"Those f*#kknobs are climbing up a shitrope Randy. Do you know what a shitrope is?
"No Mr Lahey"
"It's a rope for f*#ksuckers like those three. A rope for criminals. The harder you squeeze to the rope, the more you slide down it into the sh#t puddle."
----------
Bubbles: Do you want to see a rocket go, Randy?
Randy: Does it really launch, Bubbles?
Bubbles: [rhetorically] Does it really launch? Does the tin man have a sheet metal c*#k?

Gotta include a few from the Maritimes:
Wadda ya to? Where ya gonna put that to?
Where ya at? Or depending on the town -Where ya to?
Stay where yer at and I'll come where yer to.
It's blowin' the dog off the chain.
Jeet? No djou? (did you eat? No did you?)
Arn? Narn? (get any? No)
Some of unknown origin:
She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Useless as a bag of hammers
I'm so hungry I could eat the arse end out of a horse!
Like shooting fish in a barrel
A barrel of monkeys.
Put to pasture.
Kicked the bucket
A BC term:
Skookum
In Manitoba (I believe) they call a sweatshirt a bunny-hug and a shag is a combined wedding shower and stagette.
Boston has some doozies:
One guy asked me where he could find a seltza machine meaning a pop vending machine.
cleanzas (dry cleaner)
p'dayda (potato)
cah pahk (parking lot)
Some physics expressions for Ed:
There's the story behind the unit of scattering cross section in particle physics: the barn (1b=10^(-24)cm^2)
"The unit was named by M. G. Holloway and C. P. Baker in December 1942, while having after dinner coffee in the Union Building of Purdue University. A value of 10−24 square centimeters was already being used as a unit for nuclear cross sections in their work for the Manhattan Project, the secret American effort to construct the first atomic bomb, but it had no name. Holloway and Baker considered and rejected the names “bethe,” “oppenheimer,” and “manley” (for John Manley, head of their group), and finally arrived at “barn” because “for nuclear processes [10-24 square centimeters] was really as big as barn.”"
spherical cow (a model that uses simplistic approximations)
back of the envelope calculation
That's all I've got for now.
