Homer's muumuu looks a lot like the one that Mrs. Johansen wears in her first appearance on Daria:
I wonder whether Daria was directly referencing The Simpsons or whether that's just a popular pattern for muumuus.
(Her house looks vaguely like the Simpsons' house, too.)

I'm against Daylight Savings Time, because there's a period of a few weeks where when I'm driving to work and the sun is stabbing directly into my eyes (sunglasses barely help). We finally get past it, then voila!, Daylight Savings Time! It's sun eye-stabbing time again!

"I think it's ironic that for once, Dad's butt prevented the release of toxic gas."
That'd be the episode. It's somewhere in my all time Simpsons top 10.

I know this book. Your conclusions were all wrong: Homer acted stupidly.

If we don't watch it, Hunt for Red October references will become part of our in-joke network.

Then again, if we don't watch it, how will we recognize the references?

Do we have an entry for "Obama will fix it" yet?

No, but I'm sure Obama will fix it.

That wasn't added because it has to be an actual joke before it can become an in-joke.

Hicks thought it was funny. That counts for nothing these days?

People's overreaction to it was part of what made it funny.

Our overreaction to it was for the sole purpose of making it actually funny.

You can only be a black man if you are from the hood? There's this place called Africa that wants a word.

If you wear that hood, you're liable to be shot.

I watch M.A.S.K. I am a Beau. A doctor did away with my hood when I was only a few days old.
