There is/was a product in the UK called "I can't believe it's not butter"
which was creamy like butter but without the fat (was it margarine? - I
don't think so either, rather some other conglomeration), which eventually
had to forego its name 'cos comparative advertising is not allowed in the
UK, or at least wasn't when I was last resident there.

I've got almost every episode of the Simpsons recorded and I'd like to

I need:

The one last season with Santa's Little Helper (Dog of Death, maybe??)
Lisa the Beauty Queen
Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie
Last week's with Marge at the power plant

I will trade any other four episodes for these.  A few weren't recorded with
great reception but most are good.

Bart claims to have Tourette's? This sounds great, can't wait to see
it. As a person "afflicted" with Tourette's syndrome, I feel obligated
to point out that it is not a mental illness (put another way, any
mental illness I suffer from is unrelated to my Tourette's :) ). It's a
nervous disorder, and the way it manifests itself varies from person to
person. For example, you can probably catch me twitching, blinking, or
making little grunting noises every once in a while, but I've never had
a problem with swearing.

Not a flame, just pointing out...

You might have watched a highly edited version of `King Kong'
because, yep, in the original, Kong noshes down on a few humans;
some these of these (bloody (in black and white)) -were- edited
out of later prints, along with the two semi-nude scenes, and
part of the scene where Kong knocks the sailors off a log.

And some of these scenes are lost forever...  Pity...

	People will probably deride me for saying this, but I think the
Spruce Caboose was a ref/tribute to the Spruce Goose, a huge propellor-driven
plane built by Howard Hughes a long time ago.  It had something like 12
enginges, and only ever flew once, for a few hundred feet.  People said it
would never fly because it was too big.  This is v. similar to the Spruce 
Caboose, right down to the name.

	Also, Groundskeeper Willie tore his shirt off to fight the wolf, but
he was wearing his shirt when he fought it.

Only in America (or perhaps Canada) could fellow citizens hold such diverse
opinions.  I found "Marge Gets a Job" to be the best episode of the season,
bar none.  Best joke: Smithers cleaning the toilets...then Homer rushes in.
As the designated bathroom cleaner in my apartment, I can sympathize with
Smithers completely!  :)

I agree!!  He seems to really HATE Homer, as well as anyone else

(By the way, that's a good word, "Burnsexual."  I like it.)

This product has been selling here in Canada for sometime now, with a 
wishy-washy commercial involving a couple and their "love affair" with
butter.  The product seems to be a margarine that has butter milk as
one of its ingredients to help it taste a little more like "you know".
(another commercial thing from a few years ago when Kraft Parkay margarine
used to have commercials with someone saying "Parkay" and when they
opened the lid of the container, the margarine said "Butter".  But then
the dairy marketing board got upset so the commercials were redone with
the margarine saying "You know")

Speaking of commericals, has anyone seen the latest Toyota commercial
with OFF?  Not the one with Flanders in it, but the new one with Homer's
father?

So I guess that's that.  Ruin all the fun.

By the way, in my own defense, I maintain that he closes his mouth at

I guess the "l" thing would be similar.  He used to always slap his forehead,

    The other thing I forgot to mention here was additional *proof* that
Smithers is gay.  There are several references from other episodes that
point to this fact; you can check the archives for yourself.  The most
notable instance that comes to my mind is when Burns called Smithers a
queen (in a different context, of course).

I have to agree with "hysterical". Sulu old: not funny. "Again with the
Klingons": funny. Scotty fat: not too funny. "I canna reach the
controls": funny, mostly because they got the voice pretty good, although
I think it sounded a lot like the school janitor. It must be awful to

of us watch Simpsons re-runs?

Topical? Star Trek has been around for a decades now. BTW, I don't
