Thank you very much,Mike.
#4 and #5 are from cassell's dictionary of slang, by Jonathon Green.
happy as a clam --> [mid 19C] (US) very happy, totally satisfied.
happy as Larry --> [20C] (Aus) perfectly happy, quite content [ety:unknown]
Who do pigs feel happy in slop/shit?
How about "happy as a boxing kangaroo in fog time" ?
