I also love Maggie, but the episode that tugs at my heart is the one where Homer has to go crawling back to Burns after Maggie is born. Burns puts up a sign that says "Don't forget; you're here forever." Homer pastes up photos of Maggie to cover parts of the sign until it reads "Do it for her." Sniff. Yeah, that WAS a good one. Funny, too; who can forget Homer quitting to work at the bowling alley, and telling the kids about how he repeatedly fired a shotgun in the air outside to drum up business. Lisa: "Mom, make him tell the story right!" Marge, sadly: "That's what really happened." Okay, somewhat different topic: what's your favorite "Homer goes against the grain and is sweet" moment? That usually happens once ever couple seasons or so... is it putting up every picture of Maggie in his hated workspace? Climbing Mt. Springfield with Lisa on the first non-football gambling "daddy-daughter day"? Breaking into the Springfield museum with Lisa to see the Egyptian exhibit? ("Honey, would you mind opening the window? The cops have daddy's fingerprints on file.") There's been a few of them; what's everybody's favorite? |

I like the episode where he buys Lisa her "saxamaphone".

Thing is, choosing a favorite Simpsons character is like choosing a favorite kind of chocolate. Now, personally, I love white chocolate, but if you hand me milk chocolate I'm not gonna thrown it in your face. Or cheesecake. I prefer dulce de leche or Adam's peanut butter fudge cup ripple, but I'll eat my light banana cheesecake just as happily.,
They're all good.
And I'm at 500! whoohoo!

And yet, I'm still a Ghostbuster. Better not open the champagne yet.

Open it anyway. It's always a good time for champagne.

Springfield, Springfield, it's a helluva town,
The school yard's up, and the shopping mall's down,
The stray dogs go to the animal pound,
Springfield, Springfieeeeeeeeeeeeld!
New York, New Yoooooooork!
(New York is thataway, man!
Thanks kid!)
It's a helluva toooooooooooooooooooown!
Gotta love the man who creates the all-syruper.

Buy me a beer,
Two bucks a glass.
Come on, help me,
I'm freezing my ass.
Buy me brandy,
A snifter of wine--
Oh who am I kidding?
I'll drink turpentine.

Oh hell. As long as we're getting musical...
-
Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs crayfish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We dooooooooo!
-
Probably the best musical number the series has ever had.

I though tthat was "cave fish," not "crayfish."
You could close down Moe's or the Kwik-e-Mart
And nobody would care.
But the heart and soul of Springfield is in
Our Maison Derrierre!

To shut them down now would be twisted,
We just learned this place existed....
Around the house I never lift a finger
As a husband and father I'm subpar
I'd rather drink a beer
Than win father of the year
But I'm happywith things the way they are
I'm getting used to never getting noticed
I'm stuck here till I can steal a car
The house is still a mess
And I'm going bald from stress
But we're happy with things the way they are
They're not perfect, but the Lord says love thy neighbor
Shut up Flanders, okaly-dokaly-dooo
Don't think it's sour grapes
But you're all a bunch of apes
And so I must be leaving you!
But I must admit, one of my favorites is See My Vest. I just don't know all the words.

I though tthat was "cave fish," not "crayfish." You might be right, I actually found a lyric sheet that said "cave fish". The thing is, I have no idea what a cave fish is, whereas I've heard the term "cray fish" many times. So I always hear it as cray fish. And thus it exists in my brain. |

See my vest, see my vest
made from real gorilla chest
See my sweater, there's no better
than authentic Irish setter
See this hat, 'twas my cat
My evening wear, vampire bat
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino
Grizzly bear underwear
Turtle necks, I've got my share
Beret of poodle on my noodle it shall rest
Try my red robin suit, it comes one breast or two
See my vest, see my vest, see my vest
Like my loafers, former gophers
it was that or skin my chauffeur
But a greyhound fur tuxedo would be best
So let's prepare these dogs
Kill two for matching clogs
See my vest (etc.)

Thank you  That has to be one of Burns's finest moments. "I really like my vest." "I gathered, sir." |
