Am I the only one who saw the ubiquitous live-action Simpsons video and thought its Homer looked an awful lot like our quonsar?

Check out the MeFi thread about "Real-life recreation of The Simpsons opening."

Am I the only one who doesn't get what all the fuss is about? Live-action re-creation of the opening to The Simpsons... OK. And? Why is this exciting?

D'oh!

(of course, Mr. IIHAA would've noticed it first...)

bmarkey, didn't you know that *anything* pertaining to The Simpsons is exciting and has to have a fuss made over it? What's it like under that rock where you live?

Cold, wet, and fulla bugs. Thanks for asking.

Also, what the hell are you doing up at 4:30 in the morning? Not that it's any of my business, of course...

I know! I woke up at 3 AM and couldn't go back to sleep. This never happens to me. So I decided to sort some recycling and do some laundry and check out AskMe and MeCha. The excitement factor is through the roof, I tells ya.

I'll play some music, if you like. Turn on radio MeCha.

Yay!

I played this stuff last week, so you may have heard it already.

posted by bmarkey 07 March | 04:43

Nope, I didn't listen to any radio last week, so this is all new. Will you post the playlist?

posted by iconomy 07 March | 04:44

Sure. I don't know how long I'll be up myself - at leadt until 2 - 2:30 Pacific.

Hmm. Seems as if you've left. Well, I'll keep goin' for a little while, as I'm not quite ready for bed yet myself.

I'm still listening...Dexter Gordon...this is great stuff.
