I base my whole life on Krusty’s teachings.” – Bart Simpson Usually when I link something here and refer to it as “usage”, it’s someone who invokes a Simpsons character in a newspaper article or blog post, or quotes the show to help illustrate a point.

Unsubstantiated Internet Rumors? Well, This IS a Blog
“Say it ain’t so Krusty.” – Bart Simpson Is this going to be the kind of blog that overreacts to internet rumors of uncertain sourcing?
