Quote of the Day
“I’m used to seeing people promoted ahead of me, friends, co-workers, Tibor. I never thought it’d be my own wife.” – Homer Simpson “Well, maybe you’d get promoted if you worked a little harder.” – Marge Simpson “Are you kidding? I work like a Japanese beaver!” – Homer Simpson “Oh really? I came to see you three times today. Twice you were sleeping and once you were kicking that ball of electrical tape around.” – Marge Simpson
Quote of the Day

Zombie Simpsons Gains YouTube Stardom
“Hey, wolfie! Put down that hors d’oeuvre. It’s time for the main course.” – Groundskeeper Willie No sooner do I decide to take a few days away from the internet than a popular YouTuber drops a 30 minute video that cites this blog and promptly racks up 900,000 views and counting. (My thanks to everyone who alerted me to it via Twitter and email.) The whole thing is worth watching: Excellent. For starters, my thanks to John Walsh/Super Eyepatch Wolf for the kind mentions and the link to Zombie Simpsons. More importantly, I heartily endorse this event or product’s analysis of…

“Mr. Burns, we’ve got witnesses, precedent, and a paper trail a mile long!” – Lionel Hutz “Yes, well, I have ten high priced lawyers.” – C.M. Burns “Ah! Yah! Ahhhhhh!” – Lionel Hutz

“And this is your office. That idiot Tibor lost the key, but you can jimmy it open with a credit card.” – Mr. Smithers
Sunday Evening Cartoons
“Actually, I was wondering if you were free for a little get together tonight: dinner, dancing, and Mr. Tom Jones.” – C.M. Burns NOTE: I wrote this last night, but couldn’t post it because I’m in the middle of moving and don’t have internet at home right now. It is awful. On one of the DVD commentary tracks (can’t remember which episode), Jean (or someone similar) starts talking about the sound effects and how on a cartoon you’re always starting with silence. A live action show has ambient noises, even if it’s just something as anodyne as rustling a newspaper…
Quote of the Day
“Have you ever read The Boy Who Cried Wolf?” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson “I glanced at it. Boy cries wolf, has a few laughs, I forget how it ends.” – Bart Simpson Sorry for the late quote.
Behind Us Forever: My Fare Lady
“Chauffeur, seamstress, curator of large mammals?” – Marge Simpson “Marge, have you seen my lunch box?” – Homer Simpson “Oh, I see.” – Marge Simpson In this episode, Moe leaves Homer in charge of the bar. Meanwhile, Marge gets a job as a Not Lyft driver. Then Moe, his bar wrecked, gets a job at the nuclear plant. Then Homer gets a different job at the nuclear plant. Then it ends. On the plus side, they used that awesome pixel opening that hit the internet a couple of weeks back. Pretty much all downhill from there, though. – Really was…
Behind Us Forever: The Kid Is All Right
“Worked for the Carter Administration?” – Marge Simpson “Well, you voted for him, twice.” – Lisa Simpson “Lisa, shh, someone might be listening.” – Marge Simpson It’s never been all that hard to poke fun at Republicans and Democrats, but doing so would require Zombie Simpsons to make some jokes instead of spending all their time expositing an inane and nonsensical story. And when I say inane, I mean in-fucking-ane. Lisa meets the new kid in her class outside of class, for some reason, they do a project on FDR together without, it seems, ever talking to one another about…
Quote of the Day
“I won’t sleep in the same bed with a woman who thinks I’m lazy! I’m gonna go right downstairs, unfold the couch, unroll the sleeping bag . . . eh, good night.” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Maybe I should apply for that job.” – Marge Simpson “Forget it, Marge, we already live together, we shouldn’t work together. As the Bible says, ‘Thou shalt not horn in on thy husband’s racket’.” – Homer Simpson “Where does the Bible say racket?” – Marge Simpson “It’s in there!” – Homer Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Good news, boy, I found a pharmacy that carries leeches. Well, it wasn’t exactly a pharmacy, more of a bait shop.” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson
Quote of the Day
“Here we have an Alaskan timberwolf. He weighs two-hundred and forty pounds and his jaws can bite through a parking meter. He does get spooked by loud noises.” – Zoo Lady “Loud? That’s our secret word for the day!” – Krusty the Klown Happy (belated) 20th Anniversary to “Marge Gets a Job”! Original airdate 5 November 1992. (Also got lost in the craziness and confusion and mishegoss of the election.)
Quote of the Day
Image yoinked from Wikipedia. “Smithers, I want you to arrange a party for two at my estate, Marge, me, and do you think you could dig up Al Jolson?” – C.M. Burns “Uh, do you remember we did that once before?” – Mr. Smithers “Oh, that’s right, he’s dead, and rather pungent, the rest of that night is something I’d like to forget.” – C.M. Burns
Reading Digest: Groening Retires Edition
“Please don’t make me retire. My job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I never married and my dog is dead. . . . I’m not finished!” – Jack Marley “Oh, yes, you are.” – C.M. Burns Matt Groening quit two things this week, his long running “Life in Hell” comic, and a gag charity band he was in with a bunch of other famous people. As a retirement gift, may I strongly recommend the first YouTube video embedded below? I’m warning you now: it’s 5m:44s. It’s also worth watching. In addition to that we have non-Zombie Simpsons…
“Zombie Simpsons” Update
“Bart, have you ever read ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’?” – Mrs. Krabappel “I’m halfway through it, I swear!” – Bart Simpson Before we return to our regularly scheduled programming tonight, I want to highlight a few comments from the original book post: Anonymous 19 May 2012 at 6:12 pm Awesome! But I must ask… do you have any plans to publish this in ePub format, so it can be read on every single e-reader in the world that isn’t a Kindle? Yes? I’m very new to this whole eBook/e-reader/e-words thing. (I don’t even own a Kindle, I had to…
