Ooooooh, a challenge to my unmatched knowledge of all things Simpsons! Fine, I'll wait until tomorrow night. If I begin answering these questions as you post them, NOBODY would have a fair chance! By the way, your "hatless" line is from 'Homer's Triple Bypass' to which Homer replied, "I can't wait until they throw his hatless butt in jail." I'll give ya my next ten after these are dealt with. I'd hate to overwhelm anyone.

1. In the episode where Homer becomes a trucker, what does the postcard he sends to marge say ?

2.Who was the uncredited guest voice appearance behind Lisa's favourite teacher Mr Bergstrum ?

3.In the halloween 'The Shining' parody, what does Mr Burns say to homer to make him shudder when giving them a tour of the hotel ?

4.In one episode Homer says "Pubic transport is for _ & _ ". Fill in the blanks.

5. When Bart starts using words like 'Dagnabbit' and 'Consarnit', what does Homer tell him to stop talking like ?

6. Name atleast 3 funny springfield shop names.

7. In the poochie episode, quote in full what the nerds asks homer at the comic book shop. There are two answers to this one.

8.In the episode fear of flying, what do we discover Homer is afraid of ?

9. Name atleast 3 of the fantasy sequences where Bart imagines his older self as having some awful job or life, yet mutters 'cool' or something to that extent afterwards.

10. Who helps Barney out in the Plow King episode ?

Anyone who gets all ten, my hat goes off to you, even though i'm hatless...I repeat hatless!!!

1. "Wish you were her." But Bart is with Homer then, so I'm not sure I have the right episode.

2. Dustin Hoffman

3. That he may go insane. (Not sure about this one.)

4. jerks and lesbians

5. Because it makes him sound like a grizzled 1890s prospector.

6. Happy Earwig Hotel, King Toot's Music Store, Gulp 'n' Blow.

7. Cannot quote in full.

8. He is afraid the therapist will advise Marge to leave him.

9. Would "Bart to the Future" be one?

10. Linda Ronstadt

COOOOL! I didn't have to wait too long for this. Whoo Hooo!

1.Correct!

2.You nailed this one, Sunsplashed!

3.You were right not to be sure. It was actually a number of John Denver Christmas Specials. I can't, for the life of me, remember how many. DAGNABIT!!!!! I think 5. Maybe 3.

4.I coulda sworn it was "losers & fat people". Hey, Ninth Wave, who's right?

5.Correct

6.You got it. there is also Stoner's Pot Palace, One Size Fits All Lingerie, & Up, Up & Buffet

7.I do believe this is a trick question. From the nerds, only one of the questions is DIRECTED at Homer I'm not sure I can quote it EXACTLY, but it goes something like, "On the 'Itchy & Scratchy' game, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wiazrd's key?" The only other question HOMER gets is from Comic Book Guy, "Could you make one out to me & 3 out to my friend of the same name?"

8.Sorry Sunsplashed, it's Sock Puppets!

9.No. He is talking about when Bart is imagining his future. He imagines himself as 1-A British, drunken, drug addled rock star 2-A test subject for side effects in experiments & 3-A big fatso that washes himself with a rag on a stick

10.Once again, correct there Ms. Sunsplashed!

Here's the next set:
1.Where did Dr. Hibbert get his medical degree?
2.What is Homer's middle name? Bonus: Who's "job" was it to name him?
3.How was Maude Flanders killed & who was responsible?
4.What sparked the feud between Homer & George Bush?
5.When Lisa introduced the new, proper Groundskeeper Willy, what name did she give him?
6.What was the name of Homer's Barbershop Quartet & who were the members? Including the expelled one.
7.Who is the only girl to EVER make Lisa feel mentally inferior?
8.Everyone knows Larry is Burns' son, but, who is Larry's mother & what happened to her?
9.What year did Mr. Burns graduate from Yale?
10.What is the slogan of Kamp Krusty?

Hey you guys were pretty damn sharp on most of these As far as question 4 goes, I'm pretty certain public transport is for "lesbians and the unemployed" but Sunsplashed you could very easily be right. For question 6, some other funny shop names are 'It's a wonderful knife', 'J.R.R Toykins' and 'Uncle Moe's Family Feed-bag'.
Very spot on with 7 being a trick question, but I think I'll still post this quote as it never fails to kill me:

The nerdy character sometimes referred to as Doug says: "Uh question for Ms. Bellamy. In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a... [the nerds chuckle] a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder."

Classic, classic stuff. Anyways I need to get started on these new questions, which look like a nice challenge.

I think I know most of these:

1. Johns Hopkins University

2. Jay (I don't know who named him)

3. Maude was killed at a baseball park when hit by a flying tee-shirt shot from a bazooka gun. She fell from the top of the stands to the bottom. As to whose fault it was, that's debatable. It could be said it was the bazooka gun firer's fault. It could be said it was Ned's fault as Maude was going to get him a hot dog. However, most people would blame Homer, because he's the one who yelled for a tee-shirt, then ducked, and that's when the tee-shirt hit Maude.

4. The feud began after Bart destroyed Bush, Sr.'s memoirs with an outboard boat motor and Bush spanked him.

5. William K. MacMoran, his proper name?

6. The Be Sharps, they initially included Homer, Principal Skinner, Apu, and Chief Wiggum. Chief Wiggum was expelled in favor of Barney who has a beautiful Irish tenor.

7. I can't remember this one and I'm ashamed. Lisa is my very favorite character.

8. Larry's mother is the daughter of one of Burns' old girlfriends, but I don't know what happened to her.

9. 1914

10. The Krustiest Place on Earth!

Looks like you beat me to it Very nice job. I think the girl in question for number 6 is Allison.

It was his Mother, Mona's job to name & lover Homer, according to Grampa. He was only in it for the spankin'.

Very good! However, it was at a race car track that was built in the center of the bird sanctuary.

Nope. G.K. Willington Esquire

Allison Taylor

8. Larry's mother is the daughter of one of Burns' old girlfriends, but I don't know what happened to her.

Lily Bankcroft & after she had Larry, he was given to an orphanage & she was shipped off to a convent in the South Seas.

I really am surprised a girl knows as much about 'The Simpsons' as you do. Honestly, where were you when I was dating? My wife can't stand my obsession! Okay, who's gonna put up the next 10?

I remember it was a race track now. LOL I haven't seen that episode in a long time.

I thought it might be G.K. Willington Esq. After I gave my answer I did look it up and found out I had answered wrong.

Oh, Allison Taylor. Yes! The girl with the long brown hair who skipped a grade. She's the one who beat Lisa out of first chair for saxophone. LOL I could picture her, but could not think of her name.

Okay, found this:

"Tantalizingly, in the "Behind the Laughter" episode, the Simpsons are referred to as "a northern (name of state) family." The Simpsons Archive, however, explains that this episode treats the family as sitcom actors playing the parts of characters living outside the Springfield universe, and "really shouldn't be taken seriously."

In a 2004 Austin Chronicle article, a publicist for the show comments: "Matt had the Simpsons live in Springfield because it was the most common city name in the U.S. The writers 'toy' with the state location constantly, (thus) there is no specified state...."

I do agree with you, no real city would have all that the mythical Springfield has, however, with global warming and all, it might not be long. But that's another topic.

This is the correct answer in terms of the "state" that Springfield is in. For more info, click on Dork's link. It explains EVERYTHING! So, in the end I was right, there is no specific state.

monkeyboy...you're right, i agree. it was just the actors playing the simpsons characters that are from kentucky(insert state). im glad were on the same page. thanks.

im in chicago, they play the simpsons at 10 pm, they will be moving the 9 oclock news to 10...no more simpsons at 10 - :-{

That sucks. I hate to turn to Fox & see race cars going around a track or a football game or even baseball instead of my favorite nuclear family! It seems they are looking for every excuse to cut my weekly dose of Simpsons comedy! Damn them! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!!!!!!!

I say, condense the news. Just give us the essentials, but cut the "fluff" news and let us see The Simpsons in its entirety. I'll give them up for baseball, though. :O

Wow, reading through all the posts people make and then all of a sudden people stopped and didn't, i would post some good questions but i'm not in that kinda mood lol

1. What were Duffman's kids' names?
2. How many kids did Cletus have in the pretzels episode?
3. What character shares its name with a producer(director, maybe?) of the show?
4. In the episode where Bart's forced to do community service at the old folks' home, what does Jasper(the old guy with the beard) always say when Lisa reads off a Bingo ball number?
5. Name 2(maybe the only 2, not sure) jobs Grandpa has held at any point during the show.
6. What do Frank Grimes Jr, George Bush Sr, and Mr. Burns all have in common?
7. How many pounds did Homer gain on purpose to go on disability from work?
8. What secondary character's father was revealed to have enjoyed himself at the town's Burlesque House?
9. Name at least two other jobs Homer's worked at(nuclear plant doesn't count) during the show.
10. How many cats have the Simpsons had?

How much longer do I wait before giving the answers?

Give us at least until June 3. I believe some members want to try to answer these.

Thanks.

Oops, I didn't see this, I'll answer the ones I know. Let Monkey_Boy chime in before you reveal the answers.

4)You sunk my battleship
5)Do babysitter and love tonic salesman count?
6)Not sure, does Harry Shearer do the voice for all of them?
7)We had a similar one on the trivia thread. It was 61 pounds to get to 300, plus another 15 accidentally(his belly was on the towel rack).
8)Reverend Lovejoy
9)Kwik-e-mart clerk, pin monkey
10)I think three

OK Mark, I was only wondering, since I saw that noone had tried to answer it in 24 hours' time.

MajorNougat,

You got #4 right.
"babysitter" in my mind doesn't count, but love tonic salesman does.
#6 is wrong.
#7 is right
#8 is right
#9 is right
#10 is wrong

Oh, and MajorNougat, your profile says you're from DC; whereabouts? I grew up on the Maryland side of the DC/MD line.
