Quote of the Day

How long have you been here?” – Ned Flanders “Twenty of the suckiest minutes of my life.” – Homer Simpson “Oh-hoho, sucking down the cider, huh? Hey, word to the wise: season pass. Pays for itself after the sixteenth visit.” – Ned Flanders
Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day
“Whoa, this guy’s got more bread than a prison meatloaf. He’s rich I tell you! I never seen a place with a walk in mailbox. Hey, who’m I talking to?” – Larry

Compare & Contrast: Burns’ Old Romances
“Aw, Pop, don’t get me wrong, it’s great to be here. But how’s a guy like you wind up with a son like me?” – Larry [Programming Note: Sorry for the late posting on this. Reading Digest should be along at roughly the usual time later today.] The most obvious repeat in “Four Regrettings and a Funeral” was the use of “Memories” for Homer’s flashback. Par for the course for Zombie Simpsons, it was a very weak imitation. In “Bart’s Friend Falls in Love”, we see Homer reminiscing about all the things he did with his stomach over the years,…

“How were his test scores?” – C.M. Burns “Let’s just say this, he spelled ‘Yale’ with a 6.” – Admissions Officer

Crazy Noises: Replaceable You
“I got a wife and kids. Oh, that reminds me, they’re probably wondering where I went.” – Larry With its phony kidnapping and pointless police chase, “Burns, Baby Burns” does not have what you’d call a great ending. The story didn’t really have anywhere to go, so they had Larry explain that he had to go back to his home planet, turned up some music, and had Homer tell Marge (standing in for the audience), “It doesn’t have to make sense.” In other words, the admittedly nonsensical dance party was the Season 8 writers at least having the courtesy to…
Quote of the Day
“Who should appear but the unrequited love of my college years, Mimsy Bancroft. Of course, by then Mimsy had her share of wrinkles and a gray hair or two, but my adoring eyes saw past those minor imperfections . . . to her twenty-one year old daughter Lily.” – C.M. Burns
Monty Burns for Mayor, Updated
As a once and future New Yorker, I can’t say I’m surprised that mild billionaire Michael Bloomberg (who’s now convinced he’s a king – bonus points if you caught that reference) easily won last November’s election and will be serving a third term as mayor of New York City. The man spent $102 million of his own money on his campaign – an ungodly sum of money, but a mere a drop in the bucket when you consider that he has $17 billion sitting in his coffers. I’m not complaining, of course; if you’ve got the means, who am I…
Crazy Noises: Burns Baby, Burns
In an attempt to fill the summer with love, hate and pointless Simpsons commentary we at the Dead Homer Society are going to spend some time overthinking Season 8. Why Season 8? Because Season 8 is when The Simpsons really began to deteriorate into Zombie Simpsons. That’s why. Because we’re cutting edge and ultra-modern we’re using a newfangled, information-superhighway fad called a “chatroom” to conduct our conversation. This text has been edited for clarity and spelling (especially on “methadone”). Today’s episode is 804, “Burns Baby, Burns“, click here for yesterday’s discussion of 803 “The Homer They Fall“. Mad Jon: I am sure I’m…
