Thanks for that! Funny. Yeardley doesn't change her voice at all for Lisa, does she? And at the end of this clip she kind of makes a connection with Azaria! This is about when the Simpsons was in its second year.

The only reason to ever go to a seminar.

Sideling Hill has been a favorite rest-stop for me for years. The panorama is inspiring and uplifting. Too bad the Exhibit Center was closed down in 2010. Also too bad you can't examine the strata directly, but there would be a hazard of toppling off a tier.

I don't think I've ever heard green or orange called "earthy" before. I guess they look quite like some sort of brown to you. My sympathies.

Go to 1:14. That makes it obvious - We don't want to get wet!!!
