it appears that the simpsons producers are trying to encourage drug use.

depictions of drug use are on the upswing, is this part of the scheme to encouraouge homosexuality?

Hey, want to troll your flamebait here: http://groups.google.com/group/alt-politics-simpsons ? I made it just for this purpose, and we need members. Even trolls are welcome, because, that's what it's for - to keep trolls out of here. Also, when someone gives the other side a little slap that blows up into a 325-post bitch fest, we'll be there for that too.

Of course, we want to keep things on topic, so Rob Wade/mastic style polemics would not qualify.

You guys took a newsgroup that I accidentally created, alt.politics.simpsons, and have turned it into a complete waste of time! Hey you, have you ever been on a date? Move out of your parent's basements and get on with your lives!

OK, what great moment in the history of televised comedy am I spoofing here?

hey, i think the debates on that new NG are quite cromulent. for example we are discussing Sideshow Bob's mayoral chances and what to do with the $2 Million.

Well, Mr. Embiggenator, why don't you cromulently answer my question? What famous moment in televised comedy am I spoofing in my earlier post?

Hate to reply twice, but I just wanted you to know that I am stealing the term "Embiggenator" and trademarking it. Look for the word in a spam email, coming to your inbox soon!

Good answer, but I think he's referring to a Simpsons ep.

Side bonus: the skit referred to featured Jon Lovitz!

I was thinking of the "Poochie" episode where Homer gave the nerdish fan a dressing down: === I'll field that one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show? ===

Now that I've actually looked it up, I see it's not that similar to your reference.

Oh yeah, all them homo-sexuals wear Farah slacks, I mean, use drugs.

No, it is part of the scheme to encourage enrollment in Bovine University! If the producers wanted to encourage homosexuality, they would be advocating joining the Republican Party!

In short, WHAT THE @#$% ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?!

You mean they are not disjoint. So if you know all these $50 words like "independent variables" "sets", and "buttbreath", how come you are in a fog every time I explain that the Coriolis Force due to the rotation of the Earth is too small to manifest itself in the water flow in a flushing toilet bowl?!?!

You must be thinking of a different Sparky, Aaron. I've never disputed that with you (or anyone else).

PS: I have seen extended flame wars on this topic (not certain if it was this NG, though), which is why I took your (Aaron's) post at face value.

Maybe the whole megilla was just sarcasm?
