Me? Get a job? Were they serious?
I didn't realise it at the time, but a little piece of my childhood had slipped away, forever.

Having listened to the audio commentaries one of the writers has a book of turn of the century slang, so a lot of Burns' speech is accurate

Last night's episode on C4 where they all inherit $100 from Homer's dead aunt and have to stay in the haunted house. The lawyer tells him he's due money :

Homer crying, "Boo hoo hoo hoo (woohoo!) bahoo hoo hoo (wahoo!)"

It's been posted before I'm sure......


'Well, what do you think, Marge? All I need is a title. I was thinking along the lines of... No TV and no beer make Homer something, something'

'Go crazy?'


'Don't mind if I do!' [goes crazy]

Still makes me laugh every time.

In a similar vein where he's eating Pinchy.

"Boo hoo hoo hoo (om non nom) Boo hoo hoo (oh god that's so good) Boo hoo hoo (pass the butter)"

That's one of the best episodes biggrinbiggrin

Episode on now is Homerpalooza - funny because its from the 3rd series - released in 1996 but it seems much newer - it doesn't have the dates look of the older ones which I would've guessed was still there in that era.

Anyway - homer is feeling out of touch and is in a record store listing dated bands that the guy at the till has never heard of - homer mentions the owner of Apple computers, and he responds with "apple what??" Funny that this was an era when apple was just a memory of an outdated computer, totally overshadowed by Pc's and Microsoft!

when I read this I instantly thought of this

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'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 take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking bird. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball.

I thought they were going to kill off one of the characters this series? Or have they postponed it due to the death of Marcia Wallace.
