“I just want to entertain!” – Itchy Actor As you may have noticed, this have not gotten off to the smoothest restart here. An annoying irony is I spent quite a bit of time the last two days working on a blog post, but it’s for work. What I wanted to be doing was a compare & contrast with Disclosure Day and either E.T. or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, sigh. On the book front, the first chapter went up in full on Saturday, but there won’t be a new section today. Sections 1 and 2 of Chapter 2 will…

Well, they’ve been very generous and offered us two free tickets to their performance. Like last year with the Mr. Burns play in D.C.,…

“Lobster hat, fishnet speedo junior, wheelie shoes, invisible dog leash . . . well, I’m packed.” – Homer Simpson This week we’ve got a couple of links to a singing troupe that’s headed – at FOX’s expense – to sunny California next weekend for Comic Con.

In addition to that, we’ve got several great pieces of non-musical fan art, plenty of usage and references, the ongoing saga of the Simpsons bracket, and a couple of great episode write ups. Enjoy. We Put The Spring In Springfield –…
Reading Digest: Theme Park Edition
“Torture Land, Explosion Land, Searing Gas Pain Land, Unnecessary Surgery Land . . . hmmm.” – Marge Simpson Universal Studios down in America’s Wang is getting ready to unveil their new and expanded Simpsons area. This caused half the people on the internet to link to it this week, so it’s a shorter than average Reading Digest. We do have a video of it under construction, as well as something much cooler: a fan made map of Disney Land crossed with Itchy & Scratchy Land. In addition to that we’ve got a bunch of other excellent fan made stuff, an…
Behind Us Forever: Fabulous Faker Boy
“My hair! You chopped off my hair! Oh, God, I’m ugly!” – Homer Simpson Well, it was certainly nice of the Robot Chicken guys to eat up ninety seconds of screentime with that opening. And it’s a good thing they did, because if this scene with Marge and Skinner is any indication, we’re mostly in for filler here. Skinner is now playing a guitar he pulled from behind his desk as surely as if it was a rabbit from a hat, and this goes on until well after Marge had left the building. Sideshow Mel is now giving Bart music…
