MY 1000TH POST! BOOM SHAKA LAKA LAKA BOOM SHAKA LAKA LAKA!
Thought about posting this when I heard my all time favorite quote from the Simpsons today (Grandpa will always be my favorite character):
ABRAHAM SIMPSON: "We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to ride the ferry cost a nickel, but in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Gimme 5 bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yes.The important thing was, I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones......"
I did find something interesting online also. Matt Groening comments that this dialogue from the Simpsons sums up the whole show:
MARGE: Homer, it's the thought that counts. The moral of this story is a good deed is its own reward.
BART: Hey, we got a reward. The head is cool.
MARGE: Well then... I guess the moral is no good deed goes unrewarded.
HOMER: Wait a minute. If I hadn't written that nasty letter, we wouldn't've gotten anything.
MARGE: Well... then I guess the moral is the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
LISA: Perhaps there is no moral to this story.
HOMER: Exactly! It's just a bunch of stuff that happened.
MARGE: But it certainly was a memorable few days.
HOMER: Amen to that!
