A guy from Top Chef is going to be on Zombie Simpsons (ugh) next Sunday. That prompted Denver food blog Cafe Society to write up their favorite ten food scenes from The Simpsons. There’s plenty of Hulu and YouTube, as well as an animated .gif of Homer trying to eat that pie in “Lisa on Ice”. Naturally, there’s also not a trace of Zombie Simpsons. The only double digit season episode is when Grampa and Jasper are tripping on the hippie juice in Season 10. I come across lists and articles like this often enough that it’s now actually surprising…

Quote of the Day
“Homer Simpson here.” – Homer Simpson “Homer, it’s your stockbroker. Your stock in the power plant just went up for the first time in ten years.” – Stockbroker “I own stock?” – Homer Simpson “Yes, all the employees got some in exchange for waiving certain Constitutional rights.” – Stockbroker [Edit 13 September 2011: Just noticed I had an extra “s” in the first line. Fixed.]

Idiot to Enjoy Simpsons/Beer Marathon (Updated)
“My English is not perfect, but I have to tell you, your beer is like swill to us. Do I have that right? I am saying that only a swine would drink this beer.” – Fritz “Yeah, but thank you anyway.” – Hans The Olympics are over, the new football season is still six months away, and nothing really pops out at me from my Netflix list. But I need something to feed my television addled mind this weekend so I have decided to revisit one of my favorite customs, one I mentioned a few weeks ago. Step 1 –…
Lost in Translation
“I must have phrased that badly. My English is, how you say, inelegant…” – Hoarst My job requires a bit of travel, so I often have the chance to watch The Simpsons in foreign languauges. This last month I spent time in both Mexico and Germany, and may I say that modernization isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. The German episodes I watched included such ‘gems’ as season 19’s “Dial ‘N’ for Nerder” and season 20’s “Lost Verizon”. I only know the titles because I was able to find their descriptions on SNPP.com. I know Lost Verizon was…

“Look at all those worried faces. Except for Lenny, he looks great!” – Marge Simpson “This is the worst day of my life.” – Lenny Leonard
Friday Link Dump – Math and Science Edition
“Lisa, your father needs your help. Do you know anything about Germany?” – Homer Simpson “Well, it’s a country in Europe.” – Lisa Simpson “Good good, I’m learning.” – Homer Simpson I found two different Periodic Tables on-line this week that use Homer Simpson to represent Element 108, Hassium. It doesn’t exist in nature, has a half life of 0.002 seconds and was discovered/created in 1984 by some Germans. Cartoon Character Periodic Table – Cobra Commander as Cobalt is good, but having The Tick as Titanium is better. Also, Flanders is Neodymium; unlike Homer he’s stable and exists outside…
Mmmmm, That’s Good Synergy
“You looken sharpen todayen mein Herr.” – Mr. Smithers There isn’t much point in posting a review of a television show that’s already been broadcast, but that didn’t stop the good people over at IGN from sucking up to their superiors. Their disturbingly obsequious review was written by one Robert Canning. To give you an idea of where he’s coming from, the only post on his “blog” at IGN is an about statement that has the following two sentences right next to each other: The Simpsons should never die. (Well, not never, but not for a while)I’m strangely attracted to Bonnie Hunt. I…
