I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World over the weekend and I enjoyed it. If more people saw it, I think they would have enjoyed it too.
Just realized when I’m talking about something from the 1st season of Simpsons, I’m now talking about something more than twenty years ago. We’re old.
I’d be okay with security theater if there were more plot twists. Like sometimes we discover weapons on the TSA agents and arrest them.
I keep looking in the Want Ads for TSA Breast Inspector (Females age 21 -45), but have yet to come up with any results. I shall continue to pursue my quest, however!
I remember when the Simpson’s first hit it big as a short on the Tracy Ulmann show. My pastor preached against Bart Simpson being a negative role model or some such, so I went out and got a Bart Simpson tee shirt and wore it to church. Big Yukks insued.
I’m with ussjimmycarter on this one. That’s a pretty sweet gig – you make up for the low pay with awesome on-the-job benefits. I was all set to apply until I found out it was females only. They said the only groping job I could apply for was checking out other guys’ packages, and I was like, not an f-ing chance!
That’s blatant gender discrimination right there. I should get the ACLU to sue for my right to grab boobs too – finally have those idiots do something useful.
After sanctioning groping of our children and grandmothers, supporting death panels, embracing higher taxes, and wanting control of the internet, can call the democrats nazis now?
The first season of the Simpsons? Kowabunga, man !!
Teh One has fled to Europe. Maybe he thinks he can get exile there.

Just saw an arty linked on the drudge stating that “Someone found a head in a bucket”
…I immediately thought of Obama and how the first step in recovery is to admit you have a problem
Humor on The Simpsons is also terribly old.
Yeah, the whole idea of having some TSA dude feeling me up doesn’t thrill me. And the women who join the TSA are far from babelicious.
Amazing that the Simpsons have been on for twenty years! Homer is still the best character. DOH!
Teh One is gone again? Europe this time? Better use up them frequent flyer miles before 2012, Barrack!
I remember Matt Groening’s comic strip that I could only find in the Boston Phoenix. Two very memorable strips: The “Don’t Drink and Drill” which had a bunch of random holes in the wall, a drill, a liquor bottle on the floor and a dead guy with a hole in his head. Also, there was another great strip with Akbar and Jeff in which Akbar is pointing at himself and says, “I blame myself.” I still use that line.
hwuu, did you find a new church?

Frank, I’ve wondered about your fascination with this movie. But, then I realized that it was a movie about a guy who looks like Michael Cera actually getting a hot babe.
…no offense to Sarah K, of course…who’s also a hot babe.
My favorite Simpsons episode is the one in which there is a suspected radioactive leak in the nuclear power plant where Homer works. Mr. Burns is in his office in a radiation suit when in walks his faithful toady assistant Smithers. Upon seeing Mr. Burns in his suit he asks him…’Where’s my radiation suit sir.’ to which Mr. Burns answers…’How the hell should I know?’ Priceless
Bah, I don’t watch any Simpsons created before they switched studios. Somehow that changed everything for the better. Even the stuff not related to animation.
Nor do I watch anything after 2006. Show was bad before then, but that was when I figured it out. Still haven’t seen the movie; someone told me it was just like Simpsons on TV, but longer – Do Not Want.
“…then I realized that it was a movie about a guy who looks like Michael Cera actually getting a hot babe.”
TWO hot babes!
Movie took a while to get going, but once it did, it was a lot of fun.
TSA = Thousands Standing Around
The one thing that kept airport security bearable was that it was supplied by the Airlines, who had a vested interest in keeping their planes from falling out of the sky and in keeping their crews and customers happy.
If their security people screwed up or abused the crews and passengers, they could be fired.
Not Any More!
Political Correctness *spit*, protected by government unions, with no incentive for efficiency or personal responsibility for consequences > Free Market competition = TSA.
What will they think of next?
Thanks, Nanny State!
I remember that ancient 1st season Simpson episode with the evil babysitter, and how her boobs kept getting bigger and bigger every couple of scenes. Heh.
