Somehow word got around Twitter yesterday that it was Bart’s birthday. Since we only follow like ten people and only half of them ever tweet anything I have no idea how this happened. However, Daily Simpsons got in on the trend and asked their teeming horde of over nine thousand followers to tweet their favorite Bart quotes. The results are below in picture form (remember, it’s Twitter so the newest messages are at the top): There are two quotes on there from Season 11, and nothing past that. Not one. Now, this isn’t exactly scientific, but it is overwhelming. Twitter, or at least the nine thousand people who follow one of the most popular Simpsons centered Twitter accounts, don’t have any use for Zombie Simpsons. [Note: Crazy Noises and Compare & Contrast should be on the way tomorrow, been a busy week.]

Dead Homer Society, Meet Twitter.
Lisa: Forget it, Dad. If I ever become famous, I want it to be for something worthwhile, not because of some obnoxious fad. Bart: Obnoxious fad? “Forget it, Dad. If I ever become famous, I want it to be for something worthwhile, not because of some obnoxious fad.” – Lisa Simpson “Obnoxious fad?” – Bart Simpson Have you ever taken a shit or clubbed a baby seal and thought to yourself, “Gee, I wish I could share this meaningful experience with everyone who has a web browser?” Twitter, the obnoxious Internet fad-of-the-moment, is your outlet. And now, it’s ours too. Think of our Twitter account as the terse, spontaneous supplement to our delightfully pedantic blog. Basically, we’ll be using it to post even more Simpsons quotes, anecdotes, and other miscellany for which writing a blog post is excessive. In the process, we’ll be joining such visionaries as idiot savant and soon to be ex-governor Sarah Palin, carbonated high-fructose corn syrup purveyor Pepsi, and noted douchebag Ashton Kutcher. Yes, we have standards with regard to the company we keep. Come join the party and follow us at http://twitter.com/deadhomers to start receiving updates right away. It won’t cost you a dime and plus it’s fun to be part of a fad, even if it doesn’t make any fucking sense at all.
