Next week, Marge Simpson will appear in Playboy Magazine.Yes, that Marge Simpson. I'm feeling a little...blue.
There are links to Albuquerque. As many of you know, the Albuquerque Isotopes were named after a Simpsons episode where the Springfield Isotopes threatened to move here. Life imitated animation and the Albuquerque Isotopes were born. Unfortunately, in the playoffs, they were a little two-dimensional.
I have seen nearly every episode. I actually applied to be a lawyer at Film Roman, one of the production companies for the Simpsons, but did not get hired. My grades weren't good enough. Yes, I wasn't smart enough to do legal work for Homer.
(The job involved licensing deals and actually seemed quite boring, so maybe it's for the best. The lawyer who interviewed me didn't seem all that happy.)
I must admit that the show has jumped the shark this season and that last week had the worst, episode. ever.
I became hooked on the show with the bowling gigolo episode.In terms of the Simpsons and the law-- I am still trying to buy the original cell of Lionel Utz standing by the sign "I can't believe it's a law firm."
I actually cried during a Halloween episode called "The Devil and Homer Simpson," where a fully clothed Marge battled the devil for Homer's soul.
As this is the Albuquerque true crime column, look for a major Simpsons columns in the next few days, concerning the Simpsons and the law. You could do a whole collection of episodes of the Simpsons in court.
By then, I should be able to finally figure out how to post pictures.
I will NOT post Marge nude. Don't worry.
As Nelson would say -- Smell you later.
