This Is What I Think.

Saturday, October 06, 2007

"I'll try and fit in, sir. That's my job."

I wonder if my "memory" of slamming the door at the wedding of the daughter of Sue from Lancaster, South Carolina, is actually about me hitting the floor at the wedding ceremony for Phoebe and me. I am thinking I literally lost conscious standing there at our wedding and my first sight was of Phoebe's face as she kneeled over me. I have other artificial memories that I guess are other people memories of seeing me fall to the floor. I associate those thoughts with that scene in "Generations" where "Dr. Crusher" is smiling at "Geordi" at some point in the movie, as the "Klingons" are monitoring the video from that visor device he wore.


Then I made this observation:

From 4/12/1981 (STS-1 launch) to 7/21/1987 is: 2291 days
From 7/21/1987 to 10/28/1993 ("Treehouse of Horror IV") is: 2291 days

Principal Skinner: Hello, Simpson. I'm riding the bus today because Mother hid my car keys to punish me for talking to a woman on the phone. She was right to do it.

[1F04] Treehouse of Horror IV

Original airdate in N.A.: 28-Oct-93


So the Reaper feels he has no choice but to sentence Homer to an eternity. But Marge runs in with a photo of Homer and her at her wedding. It's a picture of Homer choking in an emergency room, and Marge explains that Homer ate the entire wedding cake by himself before the wedding. The jury find this roundly amusing. But she hastily tells them, "Read the back!"

Blackbeard: {[looking at the photo] Arr, 'tis some kind of treasure map!}

Arnold: {You idiot! You can't read.}

Blackbeard: {Aye, 'tis true. My debauchery was my way of compensatin'!}

-- No brain cells left, "Treehouse of Horror IV"


Arnold reads, "Dear Marge: you have given me your hand in marriage. All I can give you in return is my...soul, which I pledge to you forever." Lizzie announces, "We've heard enough. Your Honor, we find that Homer Simpson's soul is legally the property of Marge Simpson and not of the devil." The devil is despondent, but Bart and Lisa are elated.

The judge and jury disappear in a puff.
