“And baby Gerald, we can’t help but wonder what mischief you’ll get into next.” – Mayor Quimby We’ve got a few final links to Maggie’s star turn this week, including a couple of pictures of her as silent film stars of yesteryear.  In addition to that we’ve got a couple of home made Simpsons costumes (one for fun, one for opposing the Syrian government), some excellent usage, a couple of people who agree with us, and a lone, dutiful mention of the Olympics.  Enjoy.

“Weekend at Burnsie’s” Makes Baby Jesus Cry

Bonus: crazy backwards Spanish version. I was sort of looking forward to watching this episode. I honestly had not seen it in seven years or so and I remembered not completely hating it.

Crazy Noises: The Canine Mutiny

Today’s episode is 820 “The…
