Well, I got the latest issue of 'Rolling Stone', the one with the Simpsons and rock music theme. Kind of an interesting issue, and an interesting read concerning OFF. Not too much to say, just a few interesting points:
GROENING: "We make some missteps, but we do acknowledge it on the show. We had an episode where it was revealed that Principal Skinner was an impostor. By the time we finished the episode, we realized it was a mistake, and we hade a judge say, 'We'll never speak of this matter again.' And we never did."
GROENING: "I pitched a spinoff of 'The Simpsons' - imagine the idea of Teen Homer of Li'l Homer's Adventures. Fox wasn't interested, which is baffling. The only thing I can figure is they didn't like the idea of another show being done without their paws on it. Ego trumped greed in this particular case, and that's really saying something. Rupert Murdoch might not have been happy with his henchmen, if he knew about it."
INTERVIEWER: "What did Igor Stravinsky's hair look like?"
GROENING: "He looked like Mr. Burns."

It's always good to know that Groening hates FOX as much as the fans...

Cool stuff. I, and probably many others, always sort of suspected that most everyone involved with "The Principal and the Pauper" felt shame about the whole thing...
I like the F*x-baiting, too.

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree.
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see, the voices that control me
From inside my head say I shouldn't kill you yet.
- Jonathan Coulton, "Skullcrusher Mountain"

Oh, one other quote I forgot:
INTERVIEWER: "In what ways hasn't the show changed?"
GROENING: "The comedic message of the show can't be that life is lousy and you're a fool for caring. And we keep the family front and center, even though we fall in love with other characters. You'll know that we jumped the shark when we finally do a special episode about the squeaky-voiced teen."

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).
1066 and All That
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.
Dorothy L Sayers
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.
