=v= First, I'd like to direct your attention to a 1991 _Simpsons_ episode, in which Homer gets himself stuck in a water slide:

=v= Second, Monday's _Drabble_, in which the father does exactly the same thing:

=v= Finally, a 2001 _Simpsons_ episode, with this dandy little quotely dotely:

"Look at that dad in _Drabble._ He's like an unfunny version of me!" -- Homer Simpson

=v= Your honor, the prosecution rests. And look: my business card turns into a sponge! Isn't that something? <_Jym_>

If it wasn't for http://www.snpp.com/episodes/3F16.html, I wouldn't be able to torture you with predictable sarcasm. Oh my, not only is sarcasm detectable, it is not PREDICTABLE!

Myers: Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy, but so what? Animation is
       built on plagiarism!

       If it weren't for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners, we
       wouldn't have the Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off
Sgt.
       Bilko, they'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum,
       Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney.

The man who did the voice of Roger Myers was in a famous movie. Playing a famous character. He worked in Las Vegas, trying to make mo' green. But I can't remember the name of his character. In that movie. You know the one. With the godfather like figure who kept bossing everyone around. But the name escapes me.

Yeah. He that's the one! He was also in another movie that I didn't quite get because my attention span is so shorty. He was the boss of the guy who played cousin Avi in yet another movie that has been snatched from my memory. I'm roccing my brains for the actor's name, but it is driving me bananas. A thorny problem that may bug me for life.

(I admit it. I probably should have stopped about 5 sentences ago.)
