“Ahh, folks, we’re experiencing some moderate, Godzilla related turbulence at this time, so I’m gonna go ahead and ask you to put your seatbelts back on. When we get to 35,000 feet he usually does let go. So from there on out all we have to do is worry about Mothra, and we do have reports he’s tied up with Gamera and Rodan at the present time. Thank you very much.” – Air Japan Pilot

Reading Digest: Foreign food Edition
“Well, I haven’t talked it over with the family, but I think we’d all like a free dinner at Americatown.” – Homer Simpson This week we’ve got a couple of reports about the real Duff in Floreda, but we’ve also got people getting bootleg Duff in South America, a Spanish restaurant chain with an illegal Simpsons theme, and a Belgian chain with a legal one. In addition to that, we’ve got a couple of lists, George Meyer, Mike Reiss selling shit to NBC, and a new punk album named after the show. Enjoy. ‘Krasty Burger’ hits Fuengirola on the Costa…
Reading Digest: Limits of Monolingualism Edition
This week we’ve got three rather excellent foreign links, which means that I have to put my faith in the always dubious efforts of Google Translate. There’s what I think is someone trying to learn Swedish, as well as two links to homemade Brazilian video games. (God, I love the internet.) In addition to that, we’ve got an article about the show from 1990, an original top ten list, lots of good YouTube, a couple of people who agree with us, proof that the kids at the University of Kansas are alright, and some great pieces of Milhouse fan art. …

Crazy Noises: Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know anything. I’m product of American education system. I also build poor quality cars and inferior style electronics.” – Americatown Waiter For the third summer in a row, we at the Dead Homer Society are looking to satisfy your off-season longing for substandard commentary on substandard Simpsons. This summer we’ll be looking at Season 10. Why Season 10? Because we’ve already done Seasons 8 and 9 and we can’t put it off any longer. Prior to Season 10, we watched as the show started falling over, this is when it fell over. And while the…
The Frying Game Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“Before I go I want to say something. Game shows aren’t about cruelty. They’re about greed, and wonderful prizes like poorly built catamarans. But somewhere along the line you lost your way. For shame.” – Homer Simpson This is the final sentence of the plot summary on the Wikipedia entry for “The Frying Game”: Carmen Electra tries to explain, but Homer is too busy looking at her chest. Nothing further need be said. There are nine people who felt the need to commiserate though, including Groening and token woman Deb Lacusta. 0:50 – The “Screamapillar” was Swartzwelder’s idea. And it…
