What sayings that the Festus Hagen character on Gunsmoke use?

See below and discussion page .Safer than chitlins on a city folk's supper plate.Hotter than a jug full of red ants.If that don't put a clod in your shoe.You couldn't burst a bird's egg with a balpene hammer.This here [stew] will grow hair on your elbows.[It's] hot enough to fry a horseshoe.Tighter than the feathers on a prairie chicken's rump.The onliest thing you get from stradlin' the fence is a sore backside.I'll get after you like thunder after lightnin'.How'd you like to be gatherin' eggs and find her in nest?Fine as frogs hair.Naked as a plucked prairie chicken.Bleedin' like a stuck hog.He ain't got the gumption to pound sand for a rat hole.I thumped him 'till his ears rang like the liberty bell.Crookeder than a dog's hind leg.Hold `yer taters.[He's] got more friends than a dog's got hairs on his back.Sit there like a boll weevil on a corn cob.[He] draws trouble like a summer melon draws flies.[I] feel better than a barn rooster on a prime hoot.Quiet as a mouse tip toeing.Quiet as on cotton on cottontail.I'll get onto you like ugly on an ape.Hoppin' around like a flea on a hot skillet.You look like a sunfish who flopped.When you learn a thing a day you store up smart.That don't hurt a particle.If you don't call, then you don't see the hand.I made a bigger mess than a sow's bed.Ain't you startin' to itch before you git bit?He can't see past the brim of his hat.Pooch up like an old toad.Rougher than a wagon load full of cobs.No more chance than a grass hopper in a hen house.Flatter than a snake though a ringer.I loved that boy like a June morning.Quieter than a gagged gopher.Sincere as at a $5 funeral
