T topic has probably glazed though this newsgroup more than once, but I am very curious if Homer still works at the Power Plant. It would seem like he doesn't, since he decides on a new profession every week, but he still shows up at the plant every once and again to chat with Lenny and Carl. What's the official word?

Well, my word isn't official in any way, but I think it's pretty obvious that he works there whenever the plot (or an isolated joke) calls for it, and doesn't when the plot calls for him to be away for a long period of time.

And I think it's pretty obvious that when the plot calls for him to be away for a long period of time the characters make jokes about him not working. And it is pretty obvious why all of the posts in this thread are using the word obvious too many times.

Stop saying obvious in there!

Remember the episode, where trys to collect grease, And bart ask him if he works, and homer says "It's pretty obvious that i don't!"

Doesn't anybody remember that?

i thought it was "Alone again, natura-diddly", when homer is filming ned.

oh, and don't forget "HOMR", when carl says: 'so, does he still work here or not?'

I think in Lard Of The Dance it went like this, when Bart asks to be part of the grease-collecting operation:

   Homer: don't you have school?
   Bart: Don't YOU have a job?
   Homer: Oooh...good point!

I think it's pretty obvious that the writers lost track long ago of what *any* of the characters are supposed to be doing as a family. They've pretty much deconstructed the Simpsons.

Look at me, I am a worthless employee, just like Homer Simpson! Give me a promotion! Ooh, I eat like a slob, but nobody minds!

I'm peeing on the seat. Give me a raise!

Now I'm returning to work without washing my hands. But it doesn't matter, because I'm Homer Simpson! I don't need to do my work, cause someone else will do it for me! D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!
