I find that with Salinger his short stories are what I really enjoy and continue to do so over time.  I;ve gotten a lot of use out of my copy of Nine Stories.

I loved those and wrote many a book report on them in elementary school, but never looked at them since I was a kid to see if they hold up.  My favorite was "Howliday Inn".

It is amazing how re-readable it is, Probably about once or twice a year if I have nothing else to read I will pick it up to read favorite parts, which usually ends with a whole run through.  An amazing book.

I've been amazed at how well Reese has done with the draft.  If i remember right, his first year as GM all of his picks made the team and most also made major contributions to the super win that year.

It was Tessa and Alex getting a place together and bonding.

Hitler, there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two coats!

Also great, Stampy pulling out Barney from the tar and he then lights himself on fire and reacts with a simple muted "ow".

Homer: Look at these bills: chains for elephant. Shots for elephant. "Oversized decorative
poncho"?!
Bart: Technically it's for a giraffe, but I think I can let it out a little.
Homer: Well these bills will have to paid out of your allowance.
Bart: You'll have to raise my allowance to about $1000 a week.
Homer: Then that's…

OK, OK…what if we use the $10,000 to, eh, surgically transform Skinner here into, er..some kind of a lobster-like creature?

I love the sheepish reaction of "Mr. Clense" when Marge yells down into the basement.

Him read card good.

MLB - Mets
NFL - Giants
NBA - Knicks
NHL - Rangers

I didn't think he was going to sing "Moon River" and then BAM! second encore!

That's beautiful. We appreciate the kisses.

Hey, Flanders, over here!  I got us some kick-ass seats!!

"Dad and Ned Flanders next? What's next, A's on Bart's report card?"

I only know it was still on Thursdays at this point because they have a joke about it at the end of "Homer Loves Flanders".

The Simpsons were still on Thursday nights at this point, so they were not yet paired with "Married..with Children" on Sunday.

Also that you see Barney;s hand after the curtain falls to see them drag his body away is a great touch.

You stupid…(derisive laughter).
