![]() Lots of references to the dark side of the force, especially regarding the children's behavior My husband is inclined to think leftovers will last forever, so now things in our fridge are "Homer's." "Is this Homer's salsa? Better throw it out." "Luke, I am your father" mutates to include the kids' names and sometimes mother. Another Simpson's episode (and these are going way back because we haven't actually watched the Simpsons for ages) Homer won a giant sandwich, like a 10 foot long sub, and he kept it around and kept eating it well past its prime, to the point where it was making him sick and hallucinate but he kept eating it. So now tasty snacks are referred to in our home as snouts. There was a Simpson's episode where Homer was envious of the dog's food and Marge pointed out the it was just snouts and things, and Homer said "mmmmm, snouts". "I'm not dead yet" and "He's only mostly dead" come up surprisingly often, usually when mocking lame tv or movie plot twists (think House at the 40 minute mark). Our usually get mutated to fit the moment: "Bring out your dead" becomes "Bring out your laundry" or "Bring out your recycling", etc. Mine also include a Princess Bride and some Star Wars, which is big around here with 4 and 8 yo boys. ![]() I have a feeling we're going to see lot of Python and Simpson's quotes and references here. Since the debate either pre-empted Tuesday night programming or prompted the networks to air repeats (other than the CW, and I'm taking a break from "90210"), it's open question time: what one pop culture quote do you find yourself using most in everyday conversation?įor me, it's the one in the subject line, from "The Simpsons" episode "A Star Is Burns," in which Springfield hosts a film festival and Homer and Marge wind up ont eh judges' panel with Jay Sherman from "The Critic." Despite it being the one episode Matt Groening refuses to watch (because he feels Fox forced them to include Jay Sherman as a promotional gimmick), it actually has a whole bunch of lines I use all the time ("I was saying 'Boo-urns,'" "On closer inspection, these are loafers," and, especially, "It's not that tough being a film cricket.") But the one about "Football in the Groin" (and Homer can't even get the title right Hans Moleman's opus is actually called "Man Getting Hit By Football") says so much about lowest common denominator entertainment that it practically comes up daily for me. ![]()
