Tom Clancy in February episode

According to a post in alt.books.tom-clancy, Tom will be in an upcoming episode next season - maybe he'll get even with Sideshow Bob for his little bon mot in Day of the Jackanapes. Here is what Tom posted:

Greetings. Here I am, stuck in New York again, and this afternoon i did a taping for the Simpsons. It will air in February (damn, that is lead time), they tell me. It may strike a few of you as funny.

Nothing like being in New York to make one yearn for London. Much better cabs. Much better cabs. MUCH better cabs.

I thought all Simpsons recordings were done in CA?

Followup: If they can record the voices anywhere, why didn't they just let Maggie Roswell film her voices in Montana? That way she wouldn't have been able to bitch about the travel?

I wouldn't call Roswell's genuine complaints bitching.

Supposing Clancy couldn't make it to California, I think the producers might allow him to record his vocals in New York. I'm sure the producers would plenty more allowances for a guest star. Besides, Fox probably has some studios in New York, whereas they probably have none in Montana.

Well, _American Heritage_ has one definition of "bitch" as follows: "To complain; grumble." Ergo, her complaints, valid or not, _were_ indeed bitching.

And now, I will go away ...

Kent:    Oh, what do you think, Tom Clancy?
Clancy:  Well, the B-2--
Lenny:   No, no, no, I was asking Maya Angelou!

(Hopefully it'll be longer than that...)

Anyone else find it hard to believe Tom Clancy would let everyone on a NG see his real email address?, especially a book group?.

It's probably his fan e-mail adress.

He's had that address quite a while - you can Google up posts from him going back to 1994.
