Hi everybody! I post to a sports ng that has a regular who is an asshole, but because it is an AOL site the admin people won't let me actually call him an asshole in a post. The funny thing is, he always quotes the wieneriest songs in his sig lines; he has included such gems as "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks, several of Air Supply's big hits, and whatever pap he can think of. If he was doing it as a joke, it might be funny, but he is dead serious, and uses the song quotes to emphasize his own specious arguments. That said, would someone please give me the quote where Homer and Bart are looking over some albums and pronounce them as "wimp rock"? (or at least tell me the episode number so I can look up the script) I plan to use that quote in my sig line as a way to jab at this guy without violating AOLs terms of service.

Thanks in advance!

It's from "Viva Ned Flanders" (the episode where Homer and Ned go to Las Vegas). Marge is looking at cheap tapes at the car wash, and Bart calls the music "crud rock" and "wuss rock", the latter being correct IIRC.

Wuss rock is also played on soft rock stations that put office workers to sleep and need to be destroyed.

Does anyone else find great irony in this guy decrying the triteness of someone else's signature line when is his own is an ancient and overexposed joke?

I've had the same sig for 12 years, so yes, perhaps it is ancient, but hardly worthy of inspiring "great irony". You must be an "Air Supply" guy.
