Dead Homer Society

“I think I’ll bottle feed that one.” – Marge Simpson

This week’s Reading Digest has a slightly misleading title, as there is actually nothing in it about the glands for which our biological class is named.  But having sorted through a week of Simpsons stuff in the wake of Katy Perry, I couldn’t resist it.  There are no Perry links below, but that’s not for a lack of options, and ho-lee-shit, you don’t really appreciate the variety of synonyms in the English language until you see them all together like that.  Anyway, between Perry and the fallout from Glee there was a less than average amount of non-stupid Simpsons content on-line this week.  But we do have some excellent usage, a great t-shirt, another Homer tattoo, an excellent raccoon, and a cautionary tale about Simpsons stamps. 

Enjoy.

Fermat vs. Simpsons – Neat little post about one of the equations that floats past Homer when he’s in the third dimension. 

Working From Home – I used to work from home, and the constant sitting and snacking was awesome.

Knifey Spoony T-Shirt – Sweet.  Things like this are so much better than the officially licensed crap. 

The Simpsons views on trampolining.. – This site sells trampolines, they also have fantastic “Bart’s Inner Child” YouTube. 

Homer Simpson Eating A donut…MMM donut – Another sweet Homer tattoo.  I really can’t get enough of these. 

Futurama and The Simpsons to join foces in a new movie. – This is a joke, though I’m not sure if the misspellings of “Mo” and “Crusty” are intentional, but these ideas aren’t totally far fetched for Zombie Simpsons.  Happily, Futurama appears to still have standards. 

Simpsons Quote of the Day [quotes] – “But Dad, by striking they’re trying to effect a change in management so that they can be happier and more productive.”  “Lisa,”. . .

Homer Simpson Interferes With My Job Search – The downside of Simpsons stamps. 

Singer/Guitarist Of Homer Simpson’s Favorite Band Turns 62 – The intro to this quote is off, he doesn’t say “You kids don’t know Grand Funk?”.  But everything from “The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner?” is dead on.  Excellent usage.  And happy birthday, Mark Farner.

The Simpsons’ Al Jean talks about the new season of "The Simpsons" – This is a video interview with Al Jean.  There isn’t much new here, and if you guessed that he spends most of the time discussing guest stars, you’d be correct. 

Donuts Or the Planet? What Would Alberta Health Minister Liepert Choose? – A YouTube that uses “Two Cars in Every Garage, and Three Eyes on Every Fish” to call attention to oil sand pollution in Canada. 

Inside the Room That is Nate’s Brain – A slideshow of a the bedroom decorations of a serious connoisseur of American culture, including a healthy dose of Simpsons. 

This Raccoon Totally Looks Like Monty Burns – Yeah, it kinda does. 

What I Thought of “Elementary School Musical” – Finally, our friends at Everything Simpsons had a less bilious but basically similar take to our own on last week’s episode.  I’d just like to point to one thing:

As guessed, I thought this episode was boring. I did enjoy some parts, but not the majority of the episode. I *chuckled* at the joggers from fat camp, and that’s basically it.

That would’ve been my reaction to the fat camp kids if my mind hadn’t instantly flashed on a nearly identical setup from The Critic that involved “Exorcism Camp” and was far funnier.  You can see the video here.
