Simpsons Season 4

I have been making my way through my Simpsons dvd's. I started at Season 1 Disk 1 Episode 1 and have progressed episode by episode, sometimes rather slowly, to Season 4 Disk 4. I have got to say it doesn't get much better than Disk 3 of Season 4.

Here are the episodes:

Homer's Triple Bypass

Marge vs. the Monorail

Selma's Choice

Brother From the Same Planet

I Love Lisa

Duffless

The weaker one in the bunch is "Brother From The Same Planet", but Homer redeems himself by naming constellations for his little brother Pepe ("Well, that one's Jerry, the cowboy. And that big dipper-looking thing is Alan, the cowboy")

And Principal Skinner has a toupee?? From the blackboard of "Brother ..." "The Principal's toupee is not a frisbee"

So - In the picture above, any characters you cannot name?

Year Of The Ox

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year and it will be the Year Of The Ox. Nearby, Austin has a shopping center - The Chinatown Center - which has scheduled its big party for next weekend January 31, 2009 and February 1, 2009.

You would have thought they would check to make sure the Super Bowl wasn't a conflict.

Annually there are huge crowds, parades, food, and music at this soiree. Sunday night will have some grand fireworks. Since its close to the house we see the display at night from a distance but this year we'll head on over to see what's going on both during the day and at night. Unless I forget.

Year of the Ox. Likenesses of John Entwistle or Paul Bunyon's Babe are encouraged.

Meant to be

As I learned from this past Sunday's NY Times crossword ...

OBAMA is in

GODBLESSAMERICA

Like it was meant to be.

Happy Birthday, Kasey

She turns 9 years old today. Getting a bit grizzled, a bit salt and peppery. A good dog though.

Further than you think

How far might you push someone else's grocery cart before you discovered it wasn't yours?

The "Wizard Of Id" gets it right
