asking the deliverance boys to understand sarcasm is expecting too much

i can see where youd pick it up ... but the backwoods boys?

thats why theres three exes and three girls ... so they can pick up on the theme by the third time around

He eventually gets the crayon put back but the audience finds this out as he smashes through the front window exclaiming "Woo-Hoo Lottery Tickets!"

+10,000 points if you know the episode title.

I had the title but was too late to log back on.

And Jay, thats what we were referring to, that episode. And he exclaims, "Who wants lottery tickets?!" not "Woo Hoo! Lottery tickets!"

Bonus points for them that can name the exact color of the crayon.

Wow.

Impressive.

Unless you looked that up and not from memory. In which case you'd be lying to me about watching Simpsons.

That was from a rather recent episode Sumner. I don't think its in any of the published Simpsons works just yet.

To get back to the political. It would have been somewhat easier for our troops to find weapons that the UN inspectors couldn't for one simple reason, and it's not all that nefarious. Hussein was no longer there to block inspections at the places he was hiding things. And he was no longer moving them around, so that the inspectors were inspecting where the weapons were 3 days prior.

That's probably because we're basically quoting straight from it. "That reminds me of an allusion!"

Basically quoting or verbatum quoting?

Unless it's verbatum you've got nothing but a mishmash of words. Kinda like when someone sings a well known song but still gets words wrong; that's what I'm reminded of now.....

I was kicking it verbatim; homeboy was kicking it allusion style.

(PS: I'm glad you caught it though. I figured homeboy would be the only person to know the joy of that particular episode. We are not welcome at the disney store)
