"Well bite my turkey may." (I have no idea what a turkey may is)
"That'll gag a maggot."
"Well f*ck me runnin' "
"Colder than a witch's tit." or "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."
"Turd floater" -- a heavy rainfall.
"Who crawled up your ass and died?" -- said when someone is in a foul mood.
"Don't get your panties in a wad." -- said when someone is nervous or excited.
"I'm gonna knock your d*ck in the dirt." or "Knock his d*ck in the dirt." -- a threat of physical violence.
"I feel like hammered dogsh*t." -- an indication you're not feeling well, such as when you have the flu, or a hangover.
This last one is said after a large, filling meal, and is prefaced by patting or rubbing the stomach: "That'll make a turd."

"Pokey, pokey!"
"Killee, Killee!"
"I am not a sheath!"
"Send in the fodder dogs!"

My boss when I was in britain used to have a few colourful expressions. This one I remember liking very much :
"Up sh*it creek without a paddle" politely abbreviated to "Up the proverbial creek" when ladies were present.
I'm sure Blackadder would be a great source, especially that episode where they go around discovering foreign lands a la Sir Walter Raleigh.
Also, british slang has these amusing "x & y" expressions that rhyme with the word they mean. So "Apples & Pears" means stairs (it's the only one I remember ;-) I'm sure you could find some web sites on British Slang...
I'd gladly propose colourful French but I'm not sure you value geographical diversity that much ;-)

I always liked the exclamations from the Dray Prescot books:
"By the disgusting, diseased entrails of Makki-Grodno!"
"Shut your black-fanged wine-spout!"
"Mother Zinzu the Blessed! I needed that!"
"By the glass eye and brass sword of Beng Thrax!"
Other neato equivalents throughout

I'm surprised to see that "HUZZAH!" hasn't made the list yet. "Bully!", intended as a show of enthusiastic approval, is also popular amongst the members of my gaming group.

Hello from England. I must say how interesting it is to see the excitement over good old cockney rhyming slang. 
What you have to remember, though, is that it's slang.
So you don't say "He went up the apples and pears", you say, "He went up the apples". It's slang. Outsiders shouldn't be able to understand it.
Take a look at Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels for a good example of rhyming slang taken to extremes.
And, in the spirit of the rest of the suggestions, some more stolen from various sources, none of which I shall properly credit:
"Well spin my nipple nuts and send me to alaska!"
"Slap my face and call me Susan!"
...hmmm...
"By [appropriate dwarven diety]'s hammer!"
"Great [famous historical figure]'s ghost!"

For an exclamation about the weather:
"Colder than a Well Digger's arse."
"Its hotter than Camel Sex out here!" (think about it)
"The wind is blowing like a four dollar (insert colloquialism for the oldest profession)"
General Shouting:
"By all that is sweet and juicy in Odins Beard!" (Moradin would work here I suspect)
And my all time favorite:
"Holy
Jack! You Got him!"
