Image shamelessly yoinked from here. “Dad, I don’t understand. What is she saying you did?” – Lisa Simpson “Well, Lisa, remember that postcard Grampa sent us from Florida of that alligator biting that woman’s bottom?” – Homer Simpson “Oh yeah, that was brilliant!” – Bart Simpson “That’s right, we all thought it was hilarious, but it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harassing that woman.” – Homer Simpson “And the dog in the Coppertone ads, same deal, Dad?” – Bart Simpson “That’s kind of a gray area.” – Homer Simpson

Reading Digest: Spectacular Links Edition
“I feel like a kid in some kind of a store.” – Homer Simpson Some weeks the internet just gives and gives; like this week, where we have an embarrassment of really cool stuff. I had several contenders for Smooth Charlie’s Link of the Week, and ultimately I couldn’t decide on one, but the first four links are all worth your time, though only the Rolling Stone thing will actually take more than a few seconds of it. In addition to that, we’ve got some great YouTube, the usual assortment of excellent usage, three links from our pal Galileo, and,…

“Simpson scandal update: Homer sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him sexual powers!” – TV Anchorman “Hey, that’s a half truth!” – Homer Simpson
“The Bart Wants What It Wants” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“Why would anybody wanna touch a girl’s butt? That’s where cooties come from!” – Bart Simpson This is another one of those Season 13 episodes that blazes around at high speeds, shifting gears at random while not doing a whole lot in the a) making jokes or b) making sense categories. It’s also another in the long line of Bart-gets-a-girlfriend episodes and, like most of them, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and involves a lot of awkward pauses and pointless exposition. The commentary does its best to ignore all this and is greatly aided by the presence…

“Marge, I swear I didn’t touch her. You know how bashful I am. I can’t even say the word ‘titmouse’ without giggling like a schoolgirl. Hehehehehe!” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Two, four, six, eight, Homer’s crime was very great!” – Protesters (pause) “‘Great’ meaning large or immense; we use it in the pejorative sense!” – Protesters
FOX Demands You Watch Its Other Crappy Programs

Feel like spending your Friday evening with reruns of Bones and House? Do you have any plans at all next week? Well cancel them quick because FOX is going to put “shout-outs” to the Simpsons across its primetime schedule all next week: Beginning Monday, Nov. 9 and continuing through Friday, Nov. 13, fans can watch FOX each night…
Friday Link Dump – TV Sucks Edition
Image used under Creative Commons license from Flicker user Barbara L. Hanson. “It’s just hard not to listen to TV, it’s spent so much more time raising us that you have.” – Bart Simpson My Google alerts lit up this week as the internet ponders the upcoming fall television schedule, mentions of the new season of Zombie Simpsons are numerous. I have linked to not a one of them because, really, who gives a fuck? No excellent usage this week, but we do have someone else who thinks teevee sucks, a German election, a badass piece of Bart Simpson jewelry…
Animating the Fourth Wall
I was poking around for items for tomorrow’s link dump when I came across this from a blog called “Art Brut(e)”: See I was going to be really clever and somehow link “Mom and Pop Art” with “Duck Amuk” to Larry Johnson and it was going to be really clever, but the conceit doesn’t work anymore so– eh, why don’t you pick up an Art Forum or something. “Duck Amuck” is one of the most memorable Merrie Melodies ever and, prior to clicking that link, I hadn’t actually watched the whole thing (~7 min) in years. It’s still very clever…
Friday Link Dump – Life Imitating Art Edition
“Precious Venus . . .” – Homer Simpson This week we have real Gummy de Milos and a real beheaded statue. There’s also some usage (good and bad), a bunch of British celebrities, shoddy merchandise, and more. Gummi Venus De Milo – Someone made real Gummi de Milos! I’d tell you more but I’m drooling on my keyboard. Click the link for pictures (grad student ass not included). The post is more than a year old, but it’s a little known fact that in the medium of gummi a lack of arms retards spoilage (via). Cloud Talk – Somebody…
