If he were happy Pumbaa the warthog from The Lion King might say,

"I'm as happy as a pig in ______!"

(Notice how I smoothly related this topic to Broadway.)

Since Rex and I have absolutely nothing else to do on this Friday evening, we thought it would be interesting to explore the above saying which was used by Mr. Roxy in a recent post. Upon reading it the first thing that came to our mind was "****", but since that is rather crass, we ran an internet search to see how others might answer this same question and listed below are some of the possibilities.

I'M AS HAPPY AS A PIG IN ________!

slop
aftershave
mud
a poke

By the way, "mud" and "****" are the terms most often used.

The definition of MIDDEN is a dunghill or refuse heap. So if you used it in the context of seeing a terrible show you could say it was "a MIDDEN of a theatrical event" and very few would take offense since most wouldn't have a clue what you mean.
