Not bad, 10 for 12
See if you can beat my score without cheating since this only allows three minutes to guess the characters with three-letter names. Some are a stretch on knowing their actual first names.
Bartman squared! And Customer Service Joy!
Friday was a great day of good things, mainly what you see in the photo. I do want to back up a little though to write about the power of manners and being nice. The other day (Thursday, lunch hour) … Continue reading
Poor Willie
He doesn’t know that these porta’ potties aren’t hooked up to a sewage line to eliminate what Homer has done. In the real world, behold a couple of the new Simpsons series two minifigs I have acquired mashed up with an … Continue reading
Harry Shearer leaving The Simpsons would be a good ending
The primary story/explanation of Harry leaving so he can pursue other projects is absolute crap in my opinion. Hank Azaria and Julie Kavner still act in movies, TV and plays while Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartright continue to provide voices in … Continue reading
Weird Al Simpsonized!
A cool toy to take my mind off the sadness of Stan Freberg passing and no more DVDs of The Simpsons. It didn’t cost me too much beyond its original retail price yet I still had to comb eBay thanks to the … Continue reading
No more Simpsons on DVD
It’s a real pisser with my relatively recent acquisition of season 17. Contrary to the stories about declining DVD sales, I think The Simpsons were consistent sellers but Fox may have poisoned the well through the syndicating and marathons on FX. News … Continue reading
Farewell Sam Simon
He was most famous for being the silent member of The Simpsons triumvirate when the little-cartoon-that-could became its own show on Fox. However there was much more to Sam and his career. Originally he began in animation with Filmation working on Fat … Continue reading

This month’s header is a tribute to Leonard Nimoy
I decided to go with a header like I’ve done for Superman, Batman, 1989 and William Shatner. Not necessarily as a tribute to his passing but March 26 would’ve been his 84th birthday. It’s nice to see all the outpouring … Continue reading
The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets by Simon Singh
Last year was the show’s 25th anniversary and luckily I got this fascinating book completed before the year ended. Even the most jaded critic who says, “Oh, the show was better back during [insert season here],” will enjoy the observations … Continue reading

1989: The Simpsons Christmas Special
I double-checked to make sure I wasn’t repeating myself from five years ago! Firstly, I want to kick off with yet another link from the fine folks at Mental Floss, many of the facts they divulge aren’t new if you’ve watched … Continue reading
Simpson Quiz from Mental Floss
Name all 12 characters who have three-letter first names. You get three minutes. I got nine! Beat that!
Hi diddly ho neighborino!
My Lego attempt isn’t perfect, but the Lord says to love thy neighbor. Shut up Flanders! Okaly dokally doo!
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh…Bartman!
For 2014, Converse and The Simpsons rolled out two new, additional designs. To coincide with Batman’s 75th birthday comes Bartman, the pesky 10-year-old’s alter ego first seen in “Three Men and a Comic Book,” as he tried to get a discount to … Continue reading
