Badger my Ass, it's Probably Milhouse
Last night I got a real treat. One of my all-time favourite Simpsons episodes was on TV. It guest stars The Who, but that's inconsequential... this episode is all about the quotes. I use Simpsons quotes all the time, and this particular show contains the bulk of my overused repertoire. Which leads me to wonder... what is it with guys and quoting stuff? I can't count the number of times I've dropped a quote from a movie or TV show in front of a bunch of people my age, only to get a sincere look of recognition from the guys, and glassy eyed stares from the ladies.
I'd like to think that this points out a difference in how males and females think... that we have a finer attention to detail and capability to retain strings of dialogue, but it's more likely that it's only because we watch WAY more TV, and are dumb enough to quote stuff to each other rather than striking up real conversation. That's not to say we aren't intelligent, but... well... you know... uh... we... like.... um... stuff. I'm going to go watch some more TV now. Bye.
