Anyone care to guess why Milhouse was crying at school? Obviously the writers put that there for us to use our imaginations.

in some recent episode.. i forget which... Bart and Milhouse are together and Milhouse says something like "Bart, I think I'm ready to tell you why I was crying at school earlier".. And Bart quickly changes the subject.

That's the joke! Milhouse obviously had some really personal thing he wanted to relate, and Bart was either unconfortable, or could care less (more likely, in my opinion) or both.

And yes, you use your imagination. Just remember the Milhouse rumors!

No, my original message quite clearly has "Milhouse" as the subject. Anyway I was asking for speculations as to why he was crying.

BTW to Greg Bair: do not end sentences with a preposition.

Should be

"May I ask to what you are referring."

Also there should not be a question mark since it is an indirect question.

I myself agree with R H Menzel that Bart was uncomfortable (not "unconfortable") and that he did not really care.

No, the question is "May I ask...?" so the question mark is correct. If he had said, "Permit me to ask...," then you would be correct.

also note the grammatically incorrrect "I myself agree." iggy dont quit your day jiggy....

hey there's mojo the helper mukee. You can be quite verbose when required. Am I wrong in assuming that you are just cut-and-pasting these these quotes? are these citations done properly?

If not, you know what that means, you wicked little monkey......

Dammit this really has nothing to do with the Simpsons.

What the hell do you mean "I myself agree" is incorrect?

"Myself" is a reflexive pronoun, it can be used to emphasize the subject.

I myself agree with R H Menzel that Bart was uncomfortable (not

"un CON fortable"

D'OH!!!!!

Now I know my spell checker is out to get me.

How is this?

May I ask what you're referring to, dickface?

I think he was simply asking you to elaborate on which episode you were referring to. You don't have to be such a dick about it. Milhouse has talked about crying in more than one episode.

talked

Dammit is it not obvious since it was just on a Sunday night? It is amazing how some of you can know so much about The Simpsons and then know so little of everything else.

BTW I believe that the preferred insult is "dickhead".

Iggy prefers the heads of dicks

people, the answer lies in Prince's song, When Doves Cry....

you fascination with a little ten-year-old boy with flamboyantly homosexual tendencies is very disturbing

Milhouse isn't gay. He has a crush on Lisa. Lisa will even lose her virginity to him in the future, as predicted in that episode where Lisa gets married.
