Today Is the Greatest Day of My Life (Besides Whacking Day)

Like many red-blooded Americans, we here at WDR are Simpsons geeks, dorks, nerds, degenerates, etc. Our speech is often filled with random Simpsons quotes which we use as half-assed attempts at insight and humor, in order to mask many of our numerous inadequacies (and believe us, there are many inadequacies). We owe them a great debt which is physically and legally impossible to repay.

So today we celebrate the release of The Simpsons Movie with open arms. Though we have come to an agreement not to actually see the film until I triumphantly return once again to the West Coast, we celebrate today regardless (plus, Mr. Zhuang is unlikely to uphold the agreement, so it doesn't really matter anyway). Today This weekend we will each put up posts that exalt the greatness of the finest program to ever grace our moving-pictures box that will probably range from the incredibly boring and redundant (my post) to the insightful (Zhuang's) to the deliciously zany (Reefer's).

To get you into the spirit, perhaps one should peruse the list of "The 20 Most Cromulent Simpsons Episodes" created at DeadOn..., where I am a lapsed contributor, or prepare yourself with a list of helpful Simpsons quotes courtesy of The A.V. Club.



Gentlemen, Start your whacking!
