So, I assume that you're someone who only started watching after it slid into the abyss?

Why bother?  Unless you don't actually read these articles and you're just here to shock us with the oh-so-scandalous news that you've never watched an episode, it should be pretty clear that there's been very little watchable over the last decade.  Save yourself the disappointment and just watch the first 10 seasons…

You're not helping.

Late 30's, about a decade into my career change to a DJ / dancer but also after roughly two decades of riding a motorcycle mostly without ear protection. Wind noise is a killer.  Like Sheltie, mine's mostly only noticeable when it's really quiet, though sometimes I'll get a random ringing flareup.  And if I'm at a…

I know this has been mentioned before but seriously, did Tommy's dad father him when he was like 8?  How far apart are those actors in age?  (Sorry, the I, M, D, and B keys are broken on my keyboard.)

Yeah, I'm with you here.  The episodes since we've come back from the holidays have all been heading downward for me, and this was the worst of the lot.

Saving money over what @avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus ?  I donno what the prices are currently, but when my folks bought their Prius it cost them significantly more than a roughly equivalent Civic would have cost them.  While only getting somewhere around 10 mpg more.  I did the numbers at the time…

"just like you would pay a band to play at a club."

When they don't spend time with theater owners too.

"You call this writing?! If I puked in a fountain pen and mailed it to the
monkey house I'd get better scripts!"

Not that Newton Gimmik's gimmick isn't a great one (that I especially love seeing in non-Simpsons threads), but I love when other commenters give better lines.  :)

There are radio commercials for some local casinos that ended with the suggestion that if you have a gambling problem you should call 1-800-gambler. I always hear it as GAMBLOR and Every single time I hear it I'm compelled to recite Homer's line.

Cutting AND timely.  You are a wit to be reckoned with.

Nonplussed only means "unperturbed" to those who don't use the word correctly.  It is both fucked up & unfortunate that the amount of people who don't use it correctly seem to be in the majority these days.  How the hell does that happen?  Did Opposite Day just not end one day?

The only reference I can find anywhere to his rank is Sergeant.  He enlisted at 17 or 18 and only served one tour of duty as WWII came to an end.  He would not have been a Captain

I don't think so, as he'd obviously been duping the secretary for some time.  That wasn't their first interview.
