Ah, but as to the location of Springfield (aside from it abutting Shelbyville), we can discern that it's somewhere in the midwest to eastern portion of the US. Based on the "Simpsons Family Album, Springfield is the birthplace of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Thanks to various flashbacks, we can infer that they have spent their whole lives there. NOW, in one episode, Bart and Lisa are on the bus and begin playing "Punch Buggy". You know how it goes. You see a VW bug then punch your partner on the arm yelling "Punch buggy [color of car]!" My husband is from the east and avows that those are the "rules" back east, whereas out west (Colorado to California) the game is essentially the same except that we yell "Slug bug!" Calling out the color is optional depending on where you are. In Santa Cruz, they called out the color. In San Jose, Santa Clara, Palm Springs, Morgan Hill, Felton, etc. we didn't. It's also in driving distance of New York City, or at least a reasonably affordable bus trip. If you've played "Simpsons: Hit and Run", you can see it's a coastal town. Whether it's an ocean or one of the Great Lakes I don't know. HOWEVER- It doesn't seem to be too far from Arlen, Texas, as Hank, Peggy, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer were all able to show up for a football game between Springfield Elementary and Tom Landry Middle School. (King of the Hill) (You know, when you watch cartoons stoned, you reallllllllly notice a lot...)
Ah dude, this is the best! OK, lemme see..... Homer: He'd better win, or we're taking a trip to the glue factory. And he won't get to come. Homer: Hello, lollypop island? There's a girl here who's had too many sourballs. Homer: Where's my burritos? Where's my burritos? Homer: Phew! I hope that was just a wonderful dream. Jockey: No dream! Lose the race, fat-boy! Homer: One, where's the fife? And two, gimme the fife! Homer: God, look at these refugees. How about a smile? Homer: Oh God, please help me! (phone rings) Voice: Hello Homer, this is God....frey Jones from Hard Copy. Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel. Marge: Homer, the plant called. They said if you don't show up tomorrow don't bother showing up on Monday. Homer: Woo-hoo! Four-day weekend! Lisa: What's a muppet? Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, and it's not quite a puppet. But man! So in answer to your question, I don't know. Titania: You said if I slept with you, I wouldn't have to touch the drunk. Duff Man: Duff Man says a lot of things. Oh yeah! Duff Man: Duff Man is thrusting in the direction of the problem. Homer: How about if I sing to you. I gave my love a chicken, it had no bones...mmm, chicken. Bart: Dad, what's the point to this story? Homer: I like stories. Mr Burns: Who the devil are you? Marge: Homer, have you been up all night eating cheese? Homer: I think I'm blind! Jasper: Who shot who with a what now? Homer: I am evil Homer! Marge: Homer, is something wrong? I can hear you chewing on your pillow. Homer: Oh Pinchy. He would've wanted it this way. Ooh, pass the butter! I think that's all for now, but I'm sure I'll remember some more and post them later...tata x
"I thought I was a self-hating Jew but now it turns out I'm just a plain, old-fashioned antisemite"-- Hershel "Krusty the Clown" Krustofski.
"And that's how an heroic hippo became a deputy." "And the elephant who couldn't stop laughing was put to death."
Here's an obscure one that I've often mumbled when traffic wasn't going my way: "Ooh, Bob Dole doesn't need this..." ("Bob Dole" while being abducted by those two huge aliens in one of the Halloween specials)
I love what Homer said when he was trying to console Bart over Krusty's death: "Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time. Just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, good night." Hmm, I think I might tell that to my future kids if Rover happens to die. How comforting!
Either Rodd or Todd.. who can tell the difference anyways? haha BART: Yeah! I got him! I got him! RODD/TODD: Nah, you just clipped him. You made him a unitarian.
