    THE ONLY MOVIE STAR?
    Are you forgetting my personal favorite  --  McBain?
 
    Interesting side note: it seems there was an actual action/adventure
picture called "McBain," starring Christopher Walken.  But it's **1991**.
So who was copying whom?
    Another, unrelated side note: has anyone seen another of Ms. Yeardley
Smith's films, titled "Ginger Ale Afternoon"?  My movie guide calls it a
bomb, but I don't know: they say the same about "Eversmile New Jersey,"
and I kind of _liked_ that picture...

What's this about God having to appear in a tortilla in Mexico?  That *has*
to be a reference (and I'll here none of this "not everything is a reference"
mucky-muck).  It sounds a bit William Burroughs-esque (or some other 
pretentious-sounding suffix).

Another DYN:  Homer with all the animals--St. Franicis of Assissi?  His garb
in the scene I'm thinking of looked like maybe what a Franciscan monk would 
wear.

And if I can risk sounding adolescent:  My roommate's out of town this week--
so guess what that means.  I can wiz with the door open.....

I take it you don't like the word "lezbo". Neither do I. But I
don't take it to mean that the poster is homophobic and I certainly
don't see what that word has to do with sexism.

Besides, he was substantially correct. The photo spread was of
Vanessa Williams and another woman nude and exploring each other.

First of all, nobody (who isn't a cartoon) *saw* LMS get hit by lightning!!

I found the latest episode fairly funny.

The scene with Lisa at the hairdresser struck a funny nerve with me.
I have commented to others before how women/girls will go to "get
their hair done", and make a *really* big thing about it if it is
for some special occasion.  But they always return looking exactly
the same as when they left.  I mean EXACTLY.  At least when I get
my hair cut, I return looking as if it was.

As for the various "looks" Lisa tried before returning to her own,
I'm sure the Bo Derik braids and the Marge looks were easily noticed.

But did anyone notice the "Buffy" from "Family Affair" look?
You know, the one with the large pom-pom of hair on either side
of the head?

Yes, there is a Springfield,NE (pop. 1,426).  It is approximately fifteen
kilometers southwest of Omaha.  This would explain the weather during "Homer's
Perfect Day".

By the way, SSN are distributed by region.  Thus, my 506 is for the region 
containing Nebraska.  Remember, this will not tell you where Homer was born,
but where he lived when he got his SSN.  Knowing Homer's background, he 
probably got his when he got his first job, which would be in Springfield.
	I think that the above number is from someone on the staff, possibly 
Brooks or Groening.

Just what does the "I" stand for?

He always had 5 fingers, most of the time you could only see 4
as the thumb was hidden. Notice that the 4 fingers you see are
all about the same length and when the thumb is seen, it's shorter

I think they are pushing things with the fire in the Simpson household 
if they expect us to just unblinkingly forget all about it by next
episode, as we see the house fully intact, and no reference made to the
fire.  I mean, come on, even "Happy Days" accepted and acknowledged
change due to fire (remember the new Arnold's?).  What's particularly
annoying is that the Simpsons, much more than other shows, makes references
to past episodes.  For example, we know that "The Head" is safely stowed
in the basement, and other such minor details.

Of course they've done this kind of thing many times before; how many times
has Homer become famous, only to be a totally obscure schmuck again next 
episode?  (Or other family members, for that matter.)

Then again, maybe they will refer and remember the fire; Sideshow Bob did
go to jail and a replacement was hired -- proving that the Simpsons can
violate the Law of Sitcom Conservation sometimes.  And it seems Homer is
slated to die in 6 months...

So, what's the feeling here?  Will the fire be totally forgoten and never
have happened, or will they refer it?  And if so, in a major way or in a
minor throw-away way?  Maybe we could get a pool going...

I say they mention it in a minor way in show half a year from now.

          This scene, I believe, was a reference to a great old Tex
Avery cartoon, "Northwest Hounded Police". In it, a big escaped
convict dog grows increasingly paranoid when he can't seem to get away
from Droopy, the police hound of the title. At one point, he runs away
from Droopy so quickly that he slides past the film strip sprockets.
He puts on the brakes immediately and jumps back into the scene. This,
too, is a million times funnier to see than to read.
          In any case, if you liked the scene in the Simpsons, you'd
probably love this, and almost any other, Tex Avery cartoon.

	Hey, there's nothing "pornographic" in this. My cat do this all
the time when she clean herself, like every cat in the world. Geeh.
