“Marge, you being a cop makes you the man, which makes me the woman! And I have no interest in that, besides occasionally wearing the underwear, which, as we discussed, is strictly a comfort thing.” – Homer Simpson

Reading Digest: “Season 22? What Season 22?” Edition
“I’ll just be a second, Marge. I’m going to get some beer for those kids over there.” – Homer Simpson “I’m gonna pretend that I didn’t hear that.” – Marge Simpson Lots of good links this week, we’ve got some Simpsons love from both a vegetarian site and a vegan site, scientists with cunning marketing skills, someone who’s never actually watched the show, some excellent usage, and a couple of musical links. Oh, is there some worthless cross-promotional stunt happening on Sunday? I hadn’t noticed. Enjoy. The Simpsons: Saying a lot with a little – Smooth Charlie’s Link of the…
Compare & Contrast: Counterfeit Clothing
“Oh no, it’s Gloria Vanderbilt, out for revenge!” – Hired Goon Near the end of “Chief of Hearts”, Fat Tony and the gang are counterfeiting clothing in the woods for some reason.

As if to underscore how lazy this entire setup is, just about the only stab at comedy in the entire ending…

How to Put Homer Simpson Properly Out of Character
Homer Simpson is an ill educated moron. He is a loser of the first caliber and is locked into a perpetual cycle of stupidity and defeat. Then again, all his best lines were written by rich, over-educated nerds, which made the task of putting trenchant insights into his mouth that much more difficult. That’s why this little exchange from “The Spingfield Connection” is so great: “This police radio entertains me with other people’s miseries. We get a free funeral for Marge, God forbid. And I can run backround checks on whomever I want! . . . Mohmar.” – Homer Simspon I’m…
