A few that I thought of recently:
Out of the pan and into the kettle black
On the bleeding edge of your seat
Raining teeth and nails

Pig in a jacket
I wanted to post a few I can't up with recently:
Don't judge a book until you've walked a mile in its dust jacket.
Squealing like a stuck pig in a poke.

Cutting through the hoops
Ciamh came up with a good one (accidentally I might add):
There's a lot of red tape to jump through

Smooth Dreams
Last night I was really tired and said to my wife, "I'm going to sleep like a baby's bottom."

Cracked
Just talking to my friend Chloe about applying to grad schools, and I used the expression: "Putting all your eggs in someone else's basket."

Much delayed update!
Well here's a few more. Hey - it's better than nothing!
From Chloë:
You can't walk on eggshells without cracking a few eggs.
You can't put all your eggs in one basket without cracking a few eggs.
Don't count your chickens before you've cracked a few eggs.
And Louis pointed me towards a scene from the movie Boondock Saints, which contains the following:
From Chloë:
I overheard someone say "It all boils down to the wire"From Gio:
Grasping at the last straw
Shoot fish in a barrel fist, ask questions later.A few cracking mixed metaphors from me

Slosh around when you walk
Recently when talking to a friend about how hilarious the phrase "full of piss and vinegar" is, I came up with this one:
It's raining piss and vinegar.
While in Prague, I heard this one, from my little sister:
Don't get your nipples in a twist.
Also I came up with this one:
If she tells you to jump off a bridge, you say, "how high?"
It's raining piss and vinegar.
