I've known women who played baritone. But it's an instrument they switched to after starting on alto or tenor. But no second grader could handle a baritone, regardless of gender.

I haven't seen that in ages. Thank you.

Does Flanderization apply to other Simpsons characters?

Why did you bring up the corpse of Smither's father? I had forgotten I had seen that, and was probably saving it for a key moment in therapy.

Hollywood Upstairs Law College?

They used a Western Concert flute, and the embouchure hole is on the side. The part that was up Ralphie's nose was just a bit of metal, you can't make sound from it. I'm not trying to get all magical xylophone here, but I played the flute for around a decade, so it's just a joke that doesn't work for me.

Me too. I also liked the callback to Lisa believing that Bart was really sick. Not to mention it played to their entire history as siblings.

I think Ronald Chaporo and Albert Dershman did all the work though.

Isn't that a B+?

He's history's greatest monster!

That's why the joke of Ralphie with the flute up his nose doesn't really make me laugh, b/c it shouldn't have made any sort of flute sound.

"They'll be playing "Stars and Stripes Forever," hopefully not forever.

OK, poll time:

You beat me to it. And it's actually, "Hey , cool! There's a rabbit in here!"

Oh, come on, Lisa. I got a date with Billie Holiday

I was scrolling so fast, that I didn't even realize this was an snpp.com comment.

I don't keep up with the BB reviews, but I think Caroline Framke will do a good job.

It's cool that you brought up Switched At Birth. I just started watching the show on Netflix. And one of my favorite scenes was when the deaf daughter and her boyfriend have a date at the record store.

IA to a certain extent. For me, it's a minor inconvenience. But it sucks for say, a deaf person who might read this interview.

The headline made me worry the article was going to have kind of a "Durr, why do deaf people go to concerts?" slant.
