Catching up in Natter--
Madrigal: I think of all the Beatles except for John have done cameos on "The Simpsons" - and since then George Harrison and Linda McCartney have died, so maybe it wasn't such a safe choice for Ringo. There's quite a number of musicians and singers who've died after appearing on "The Simpsons": Barry White, John Entwistle, Tito Puente, Joey Ramone, Johnny Cash, etc. It's almost as dangerous as being a drummer for Spinal Tap.
DX:
Spinal Tap
Who also appeared on The Simpsons...
In Bitches.
Cass:
Arnold was just sworn in.
ND:
That's what all the demonic chanting was about.
Teppy:
Man, just ascend, already.
In Bitches, regarding a quote from GWB in London (for the record: "I am so pleased to be going to a country which says that people are allowed to express their mind. That's fantastic. Freedom is a beautiful thing.") -
Cashmere:
Does the irony escape him much?
Jaqueline Zahas:
The irony not only escapes him, it has leapt out the window, hopped in a cab and then sneaked onto an international flight, hidden for several years in Stockholm under an assumed name, returned home with a full set of beautifully crafted fake identity papers, settled into its new life, lived that life fully and richly, and died at an advanced age surrounded by its fat and snarky grandchildren, before he even notices that something ruffled his hair as it sailed over him.
In Tim's thread, some OC discussion:
Sumi:
No, no, no the only way Lady J can die, is if she gets to come back as a vampire.
Matt the Bruins fan:
Wouldn't that be redundant? She's already an evil, soulless thing that sucks the life out of others...
Trudy's response to Aimee wanting to get new checks with Steve Irwin on them:
The comedic potential in the Steve Irwin checks is tremendous.
"Now thaaaaas a beauty, you don't often see a credit caaaad paymn't that big 'round heaaaaah"
Matt the Bruins Fan:
By rights, bears should be like big lobsters with fur.
Deena:
they tell you to do two things that contradict so that you can have practice, even though laying and drinking are really nothing like diapering and avoiding pee.
