One of my favorite parts from the simpsons is whenever grampa goes off on one of his senile rants about the past. Example: "I chased the kaiser for dickety six miles..." Or something like that. Anyway, I was just wondering what are all the episodes he has had a rant like that. I think he has only had about 3 or 4 total. Thanks.

I liked "Crazy old Mans" rant at the end of the curfew on kids episode. Anyone got the quote?

Mint condition 1918 Liberty Head silver dollars! You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in zeppelins dropping coins on people. And one day, I seen J.D. Rockefeller flying by, so I run out of the house with a big washtub. And there's an interesting story behind this nickel. In 1957, I remember it was, I got up in the morning and made myself a piece of toast. I set the toaster to three: medium brown. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which was what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel. And in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ``Gimme five bees for a quarter'' you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war, the only thing you could get was the big yellow ones. The year was nineteen-aught-six. The President was the divine Miss Sarah Bernhardt. And all over America, people were doin' a dance called the ``Funky Grandpa.'' When I was a pup, we got spanked by Presidents 'til the cows came home. Grover Cleveland spanked me on two nonconsecutive occasions. Not many people know I owned the first radio in Springfield. Weren't much on the on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. ``A,'' he'd say. Then, ``B.'' ``C'' would usually follow ...
nice list:
i cant remember the entire the entire monologue but at the end of the "Graduate" episode where Marge's mum is going to marry mr burns, grandpa goes into a long monlogue after the rip off of the sounds of silence, the only part i can remember is:
....there was a long tube which you stick in your ear, the tube would go in easier with a bit of lindseed oil or doctor shumways....
sorry but thats all i remember.
and the bit about turkeys being called walking birds, but i dont remember which episode it comes from.
