Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day

“I’m sorry I left you alone with Homer and Bart.” – Lisa Simpon “No, no, honey. We had a fine time.” – High Parkfield “How’d you get that gash on your forehead?” – Lisa Simpson “Oh, that was when we hid in the dumpster after the fire alarm went off in the pornographic magazine warehouse.” – Hugh Parkfield

Quote of the Day

Behind Us Forever: The Serfsons

“I’ll go to the first aid tent and tell them to plug in ye olde stomach pump.” – Lisa Simpson NOTE: Sorry this took all week to post. I was traveling. I should start out by saying that I appreciate that they at least tried to get creative here. “The Serfsons” is basically an episode length Halloween segment that gets the tiresome antics of Zombie Simpsons out of Springfield without the family having to win another contest or something. The good news is that you can tell they actually put some effort into this one; there are a couple of…

Quote of the Day

“Yon meat is sweet as summer’s wafting breeze.” – Lunchlady Doris “Can I have some?” – Homer Simpson “Mine ears are open only to the pleas of those who speak ye olde English.” – Lunchlady Doris “Sweet maiden of the spit, grant now my boon that I might sup upon sucking pig this noon.” – Homer Simpson “Whatever.” – Lunchlady Doris

Reading Digest: Prince Non-Prince Edition

“And tonight, the following celebrities have been arrested.” – Kent Brockman If you’re binging on Prince-internet right now, there is one link for you below and that’s it. Other than that we’ve got sexy Simpsons quotes, a neat animation that I think was for FXX, and the central hub of Simpsons merchandise in China. Enjoy. Remembering The Prince-Themed ‘Simpsons’ Episode That Never Was ♫ theMusic.com.au – It probably would’ve been hilarious. Then again, the odds against “Stark Raving Dad” actually working once were pretty astronomical, to get that a second time… The Simpsons ‘Stretch’ by Laundry – I don’t get FXX, so…

Quote of the Day

“I’ve been waiting for you, Lisa.” – Fortune Teller “How did you know my name?” – Lisa Simpson “Your name tag.” – Fortune Teller

Reading Digest: Easter Disappointment Edition

“And here, out of the mists of history, the legendary Esquilax, a horse with the head of a rabbit, and the body of a rabbit. . . . Ooh, it’s galloping away!” – Chief Wiggum The Easter update for Tapped Out has been live for a little less than two weeks, and the complaints are rolling in.  We’ve got three links this week about how the Easter update hasn’t been the greatest, which, having recently re-installed the game, I agree with.  I realize they have to keep releasing updates to keep people who’ve maxed out their levels interested, but some of these…

“Now turn to the next problem.  If you have three Pepsis and drink one, how much more refreshed are you?  You, the redhead in the Chicago school system.” – Troy McClure “Pepsi?” – Redhead in Chicago “Partial credit.” – Troy McClure

Reading Digest: Meh Edition

“Oh, these Renaissance Fairs are so boring.” – Bart Simpson “Oh, really?  Did you see the loom?  I took loom in high school.” – Marge Simpson “Meh.” – Bart Simpson It’s a very short Reading Digest this week because two old problems reared their heads at the same time.  First, the signal-to-noise ratio plummeted because smaller media outlets (local TV stations, newspapers, magazines) finally got wind of the official opening of the Simpsons area down in America’s wang.  That blotted out most of the interesting Simpsons related content on Google.  Second, the WordPress tag for “The Simpsons” crashed again.  It’s…

Reading Digest: Futurama Comparison Edition

“I can’t wait to see that play.” – University Student Futurama went off the air for the third time on Wednesday.  (I’m saving the last episode for this weekend and haven’t watched it yet, but the internet seems to have generally liked it.)  That departure prompted a slew of eulogies and comparisons to The Simpsons, and we have some of them.  In addition to that we’ve got some really cool fan made stuff, a lot of video game links (two of which aren’t about Tapped Out), the return of Me Blog Write Good, and lots more. Enjoy. I WANT A…

Reading Digest: The Joys of Picture Phones Edition

“Oh, this?  No, I’ve just got a touch of the rheumatis.” – Marge Simpson “Oh.” – Lisa Simpson “Whew.” – Marge Simpson  “Mom, picture phone.” – Lisa Simpson Our first link this week is to a YouTube/Google+/Google Hangout/Google Whatever interview with Al Jean.  In it he briefly mentions a non-existent video game (which in turn begets tens of thousands of words of empty, pageview chasing speculation) and discusses a number of other topics, some well trod, some not.  What makes this more fun than most Jean interviews where he repeats the same few statements over and over again (no I…

Quote of the Day

“You can be the first to try out the new guest bedroom I built.  Remember, if the building inspector comes by, it’s not a room, it’s a window box.” – Homer Simpson

Quote of the Day

“I think I’ll write your performance evaluation now, Simpson.” – Mr. Milhouse Happy birthday Greg Daniels!

Crazy Noises: Moe Goes from Rags to Riches

Image shamelessly yoinked from here as a result of search for “randomly determined”. “I’ll get the dictionary.” – Hugh Parkfield “Why?” – Lisa Simpson “You’ll see when you get there, the word ‘stochastic’.” – Hugh Parkfield “Pertaining to a process involving a randomly determined sequence of observations!” – Lisa Simpson As part of our tireless efforts to demonstrate the many ways Zombie Simpsons fails to entertain, Season 23 will be subjected to the kind of rigorous examination that can only be produced by people typing short messages at one another.  More dedicated or modern individuals might use Twitter for this,…
