Ah, if only rating points could buy beer!

Or porn!

Heck, I'd settle for them being able to buy chess books.

My rating is like peanut butter. It seems sticky enough, but given any reason at all it will slide downhill.

My rating is like a clogged vacuum cleaner:  it kinda sucks.

my rating is like water, it follows gravity, both positive and negative, it floats high (1630+) then drops over 100 in a few days, then a few weeks later it's back at 1630, then the cycle repeats...

My rating is like the state bird of Idaho.  It's a medium-sized bird weighing about 2-5 ounces, with a length from 15–20 cm.

My rating is like string theory. I don't understand it, and it may be utter nonsense.

A dingo ate my rating.

My game is like second place in the Boston Marathon: a few steps from greatness.

My rating is an irrational number.
