Sorry to correct you, todd, but you're off on this one.

At the first meeting, Wile E. comes up to Bugs' hole with a door, sets up the
door, and knocks on it. Bugs arises, opens the door, and at that point Wile E.
hands Bugs a card and says "Permit me to Introduce myself. My name is Wile E.
Coyote, Genius...". Bugs looks at the card, which says, "Wile E. Coyote,
Genius"

Much later in the cartoon (strange to be using "much later" for a 7 minute
time span...), Wile E. is in a shed of explosives concocting an explosive
carrot. He muses, "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius...I like the sound of that,
Wile E. Coyote, SUPER GENIUS" while Bugs is pulling the entire shed onto
railroad tracks.

After that explosion, a battered coyote limps up to Bugs' hole with the same
door (establishing closure as we remember the first scene). This time, there
is no card, and Wile E. just says, in a goofy just-been-blown-up voice,
"Permit me to introduce myself, my name is mud." And collapses.

Bugs' punchline, "And remember, mud spelled backwards is D-U-M.", was not as
good as the rest of the cartoon.

And are you sure that Bugs was his first foil?

Close, but not quite.  TRULY classic Barney would've followed up the

What was the deal with all of Homer's outrageously distorted facial

cartoons?

I've never seen Ren & Stimpy, but I've heard they contain a lot of sight

mmmmm.  well, there's Itchy & Scratchy the Movie, where he is completely
out of character because he IS intellectual in rattling off the names of
the Chief Justices, there's also the scene in the one where Bart goes
to France, where he says something about Adil being right about the 
blood of the working class oiling the gears of capitalism...I'd argue
he is more out of character when he IS intellectual than when he is
_trying_ to be intellectual.  He's always coming up with new plans to get
the family out of whatever jam they are in ("Don't worry Marge, I've got
it all figured out...Bart sleeps with us until he's 21....We become circus 
trepeze artists...etc.)  He doesnt understand what being intellectual 
means, and usually doesnt do a very good job of bluffing.  He's always 
saying things that he thinks will make him sound smart, but actually
make him sound like a moron.  (Can't he be both, like the late Earl 
Warren? Marge:Earl Warren wasn't a stripper!  Homey: Now who's being
naive?)  I don't think he goes out of his way to appear intellectual,
but when he's in a jam, he tries to bluff.

"Hello Joe, whaddaya know?" used to be a popular saying.  Perhaps due to
the previously mentioned song.  I think the purpose of Granny saying this
is to date her.  Since it's the only thing she says, it seems to imply that
she is senile.  Most people would put their senior citizens in a rest home
if they were senile or disabled.  I think this emphasizes the neighbors goody
goody image.  As for the way she looks, maybe she is modeled after someone.
I don't think it matters much though.  She definately looked like an ol' 
bag-o-bones. :)

are of the simpsons.

i have the Views control panel set to medium size for viewing icons. in the
apple menu, the chooser and control panel aliases appear in system 7 color,

how can i modify the icons so they show up in color under the apple

ALthough I am loath to disagree with you, I think there's a better reference
for this scene (or should I say "this scene is a reference to something else?")

It's the end of 2001:A Space Odyssey, when Keir Dullea finally gets to 
"Jupiter and Beyond" (I hope that isn't a spoiler). The effects were exact,
down to the close-up shot of the scene in the eye.

I haven't seen Brainstorm, but it wouldn't surprise me if that film got its bit
from 2001 as well. Kubrick is pretty intense.

If you haven't seen 2001, run out and so so now. NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Summary: this message is somewhat important


On the third anniversary of OFF's debut, I'm happy to say that Bill
Oakley (you might remember was co-writer of ``Marge Gets a Job'' and
is an Executive Story Editor) who was introduced to alt.tv.simpsons
several months ago by David Mirsky, has recently acquired an account
on the Internet. [!!!]

Bill and his partner, Josh Weinstein, had been spying on us from
Compu$erve, and were excited to hear there's an international forum of
30,000-40,000 devoted to what they help to produce.  But Bill has
concerns that reveling his secret whereabouts on the 'Net at the
moment might stifle free debate (not that there's been any notable
discussion lately..:-/) and/or our demands on his time could be an
inconvenience (and detract from the quality of the show!)

I've been told Bill will happily answer any questions posted to the
newsgroup about the writing or acting of the show, and have someone
else intermediate; at least until he becomes more familiar with UNIX,
posting, shielding himself from random email, etcetera.

For those compulsive types who just have to know, here's a list of the
episodes and their writers for the remainder of the fourth season...

	9F15  Last Exit to Springfield by Jay Kogen & Wallace Wolodarsky
	9F16  The Front by Adam Lapidus
	9F17  So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show by Jon Vitti
	9F18  Whacking Day by John Swartzwelder
	9F19  Krusty Gets Kancelled by John Swartzwelder
	9F20  Marge in Chains by Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein
	9F21  Homer's Barbershop Quartet by Jeff Martin
	9F22  Cape Feare (Sideshow Bob Returns) by Jon Vitti

And the scripts they're just beginning to write for season five...

	      Legalized Gambling by Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein
	      Homer Goes to College by Conan O'Brien
	      Bart the Boy Scout by Dan McGrat

And lastly, that <was> Ben Franklin playing air hockey with Jimi
Hendrix.

Is *that* what he said? I heard it (both times I saw it) as "Hey! I beat 'im!"
I just figured Barney was too drunk to realise he'd just had the crap beaten
