“Our arts and crafts center is, in actuality, a Dickensian workhouse.” – Lisa Simpson A guy named Kyle McCoy is creating a forty square foot image of Springfield from perler beads, which is a hell of a lot of work since an individual bead is less than a centimeter across. Not only is this a fantastic idea, its author is a wise man when it comes to the topic of Zombie Simpsons: “Now, I’m a big fan of The Simpsons. Not the newer ones, so much (sorry Matt), but for its first eight seasons it was the best thing on…

“Homer, you do remember your promise to the children?” – Marge Simpson “Sure do: when you’re eighteen you’re out the door!” – Homer Simpson
Compare & Contrast: Camp Songs
Someday I may run out of examples of how Zombie Simpsons is watery gruel compared to the hearty, nourishing comedy stew that was The Simpsons, but not today. I’d like to compare the camp song in “Elementary School Musical” to the one in “Kamp Krusty”. Both songs take about fifty seconds of screen time, with the one from Zombie Simpsons being a little bit longer. Here are the complete lyrics of the song from Zombie Simpsons: Lea Michele: I, I love the elegant pearls you wear. Cory Monteith: And the starfish shape that constitutes your hair. Amber Riley: You’ll be…

Quote of the Day
"Alright, that’s it! I’ve been scorched by Krusty before. I got a rapid heartbeat from his Krusty brand vitamins, my Krusty calculator didn’t have a 7 or an 8, and Krusty’s autobiography was self serving with many glaring omissions! But this time he’s gone too far!" – Bart Simpson
Saturday Morning Cartoons
As part of my ongoing efforts to indoctrinate the youth into the ways of proper Simpsons watching I put “Kamp Krusty” on for two of my nephews this morning. They got out of school on Thursday. While watching it, I noticed the date/day combination the calendar. That’s how June fell in 1992 (when it was first broadcast). 2009 is the first time it’s matched up since 1998. Nothing about this is relevant, profound or in any way important, but you just read it and you can’t unread it. Now go watch Simpsons.
The Vapid End of Season 20
“Alright, three whole months of spaghetti-Os and daytime TV.” – Otto I realized two things watching “Coming to Homerica” last night. 1. It is nearly impossible to neatly summarize many of these episodes. The promotional stuff for last night’s talked about Homer forming his little vigilante group, but that tired idea was barely on screen for two minutes. In actuality the episode was a shop worn and timid take on immigration with Norwegians substituted in for Latinos, but how do you write a coherent summary of that? The plot is an inch deep and a mile wide, it amounts to…
