Homeric Triumph

I haven't seen it yet, but millions around the world have. The Simpsons Movie is slated for $100 million world-wide opening weekend. It opened bigger than Transformers and is the 17th biggest opening day of all time -- right behind Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Good on Matt Groening and the boys. Four straight years of hard work -- keeping up the show schedule while working on the movie -- has paid off.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but every time I think of the "Spider Pig" scene from the preview I giggle uncontrollably.

I've been singing the damn Spider Pig song in my head - and sometimes out loud - for about five days now and I have not even seen the movie. I fear I am teetering on the edge of insanity!

Spider Pig
Spider Pig
Does whatever a Spider Pig Does
Can he swing
From a web?
No he can't
He's a pig
Look ooouut, he is a Spider Pig

humanoids may be smarter than non-humanoids animals but they are not better.

One reaches a point wherein Limbaugh ("serving humanity") and Richard "I love Mexicans" Durbin
are the perfect blend of puke.
