Quote of the Day

Reading Digest: No End to Licensed Merchandise Edition
“Oh, Dad, you must’ve bought me every Malibu Stacy accessory there is!” – Lisa Simpson “Not quite. They were out of Malibu Stacy lunar rovers.” – Homer Simpson This week we’ve got links to more designer t-shirts, Lego knockoffs, a crappy alarm clock, a small “collector’s” model of Powell Motors’ last design, and I think I forgot a couple. Also, we’ve got two links from Australians who’ve gotten their first taste of Moe’s and Duff. (If this keeps up all the way through the actual 25th anniversary in December, I may have to re-title these posts “Merchandising Digest”.) Fortunately, that’s…
Reading Digest: Super Bowl Menagerie Edition
“It’s a touchdown for halfback Dan Beerdorf! Duff Dry has won the Duff Bowl!” – Commercial Announcer “They wanted it more.” – Moe As we here in America approach one of our most sacred high holy days, the internet responded with a torrent of Simpsons/football related links, references and usage. There’s even one for the Super Bowl’s hapless sibling, the Pro Bowl. In addition to that, we’ve a whole bunch of cool fan made stuff, most of which comes from an awesome Reddit collection of a painter who does Simpsons requests, a funny interview with Shearer, a harmless Zombie Simpsons-Super…
Smooth Jimmy Apollo on the AFC Championship Game
“And now with his picks for today’s games, the man who’s right 52% of the time, Smooth Jimmy Apollo.” – Brent Gunsilman “Thank you, Bret. Our first game today, Denver and New England, is too close to call.” – Smooth Jimmy Apollo “Oh.” – Homer Simpson “But, if you’re one of those compulsive types who just has to bet, well, I don’t know . . . Denver.” – Smooth Jimmy Apollo “Woo-hoo, Denver, yeah!” – Homer Simpson But don’t lose heart, Patriots fans, because we all know how that ended: When you’re right 52% of the time, you’re wrong 48%…

Reading Digest: Late Scratch Edition
“After evaluating millions of pieces of data in the blink of an eye, the Gamble-Tron 2000 says the winner is . . . Cincinnati by . . . two hundred points? Why you worthless hunk of junk!” – Professor Frink Sorry for the late Reading Digest, everybody. I hope your Friday at work/school/whatever wasn’t too dull without it. This post was originally going to contain a link to the first Kindle issue from the spinoff site, but Amazon appears to be having some difficulties and it looks like it’s not going to be ready today. So here’s a regular Reading…

Quote of the Day
“The happiest day of my life was three Sundays ago. I was sitting on my Daddy’s knee when the Saints, who were four and a half point favorites but only up by three, kicked a meaningless field goal at the last second to cover the spread.” – Lisa Simpson “Dear God.” – Ms. Hoover Happy 20th Anniversary to “Lisa the Greek”! Original airdate 23 January 1992.
Write About Lisa Simpson for Someone Besides Us
“Look Dad, I made a modest studio apartment for my Malibu Stacy doll. This is the kitchen, this is where she prints her weekly feminist newsletter . . . Dad! You’re not listening to me!” – Lisa Simpson Few things drain the joy out of entertainment more than social or political patronization. Even if you agree with a particular cause or sentiment, it isn’t fun to have righteousness clumsily thumped into your skull, especially by rich, do-gooder celebrities. Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney are two musicians of indescribable talent, but “Ebony & Ivory” is agitprop of such brazen low quality…
Reading Digest: Question Mark in the Headline Edition
“Money comes and money goes, but what I have with my daughter can go on for eight more years!” – Homer Simpson Since the renewal news dropped late on Friday evening last week, just about any time someone typed “the Simpsons” into the internet this week it was about there being two more years of Zombie Simpsons. Those get tedious after a while, but there was a pleasant trend to it: articles asking if the show really should have been renewed or if it was maybe better to let it die. Lots of them. I’ve linked a few below, and…
