Gimbels is gone, Marge. Long gone. You're Gimbels

They don't care who's toes they step on.

Good for Joel, Mr. Tinkletown goes to the White House!

It's a status thing obvs. If you're gonna splurge on Tex-Mex might as well splurge to get hammered as well.

Any Roger-centric plot or subplot is always enough to save even the most terrible episode.

Found this online, can't remember if it was in the episode.

I going to miss reading these every week, even with my limited knowledge of Star Trek, I love them.
