Hank Scorpio: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district!
Hank Scorpio: That's right.
"What happened?... When did that happen?... How much of it?... Oh my goodness, I'll be right up!

I know we've done a Simpsons artifact tournament (which was amazing); would there be any interest in doing a Simpsons song tournament?

Disclaimer: I've never run a tournament before, so it'll probably be a fucking disaster. But I'll write up some rules. 8 people or more? So far it's me and doug rr.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

On a similar note, this Twitter feed is great:

Automatically tweets out a random screencap from the show's golden years every 30 minutes.
