"Gaudy as a peacock" is also a common expression -- maybe make that an alternate?

Other alternates could be "Mad as a wet hen" and "Ugly as a mud fence".

Not to lower the tone, but "happy as a pig in sh**" is much more widely used (or at least gets far more results on Google) than "happy as a pig in mud" or "happy as a clam"

This reminds me of the game "similes" that was played in the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol."

I've also heard "pale as death" and "sick as a lamb". Great quiz! I enjoyed it.
