According to most people, Bart's middle name is Jo-jo, but I seem to remember on one episode Bart saying "Nobody messes with Bartholomew James Simpson".
Does anyone else remember that quote (the season/episode number and when he says it)?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he just said the initial (unless his middle name is "Jay," as Homer's is). I believe "Jo-Jo" was made up by Nancy Cartwright and mentioned in one of the early tie-in books, but it's never been referenced in the show, so I don't think we can say it's necessarily accurate. The show has contradicted the books in the past.
I remember reading/hearing somewhere - I think it was in an interview with either Matt or Nancy - that at a table reading, Nancy asked Matt what Bart's middle name was; when Matt asked her, "What do you think it should be?", she said "Jojo", and he agreed. However, it hasn't been used on the show, at least not yet (and I have a feeling it may not be, as it may be considered a reference to Mojo Jojo of "The Powerpuff Girls").
-- Don Okay, who here thought I was going to say "a reference to what Ginger's brother calls Dodie's mother on 'As Told by Ginger'"?
It was also a $500000 question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? about a year and a half ago - the other choices were pretty silly (I don't think "Jay" was among them, but "Juniper" or something was) - Jojo was the right answer, but the contestant decided not to answer (even after a 50/50, I think).
It WAS mentioned in an episode, but I forget which. I think it was in a courtroom setting so try "Bart the Fink" or "The Boy Who Knew too Much" or "Bart the Murderer"
