Can anyone who taped "30% Iron Chef" give me the exchange between Bender and the bum when Bender makes a crack about Eugene, Oregon? I want the line the bum used about the "filthiest bums etc" and Bender's reply "Oh, I've seen filthier...Oh, wait, I was thinking of Eugene, Oregon."

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bum: Welcome to Bum Base Alpha, the biggest hobo jungle in the quadrant. Bender: Hah, I've seen bigger. Oh, wait, I'm thinking of Eugene, Oregon.

That's one of the few jokes I didn't get. Can someone explain the Oregon background?

Maybe the writers just have a thing about certain places. Eg New Jersey was hit on a few times in the first series

Oregon has adopted more progressive and liberal social policies than other US states. It is also the home of many hippies, communal farms, and "uptopian" societies. Eugene, Oregon is in the thick of it all.

Eugene was also a favorite venue for the Grateful Dead. Liberal college town, go figure.

Thanks for the help. It's good to see that Groening still has good ol' Oregon in mind or at least that the writers are still using a good ol' Groening emulator.

Fact: Groening is an anagram for Oreg'ning.
