sideshow bob will have his revenge on springfield
throw it on the pile. simpsons year 5 on dvd. of course I also recently aquired the aforementioned napoleon D. and yes- return of the king x-tended. yes---I've been accused of being a geek. anyone coin the phrase 'geek chic' yet? whatever. so who's in the mood for some x-box?
havn't worked through all the episodes of year 5 simpsons yet. but so far I have been slain by 'rosebud', where burns searches for his long lost teddy bear (bo bo). *what most people don't realise about* 'bo bo' is that my mom's big teddy bear shares the same name.
good ol' bo bo. he sits in a little chair in the living room surrounded by many various accessories you might see in 'country living' (a magazine of which I think my mom has every issue). so the story goes, one day some new neighbors stopped by to say 'hullo' whilst walking there dog. it was a little pooch. I don't remember what kind. I believe it looked like toto. (no not the band from the 'dune' soundtrack, you fools- 'toto', the wizard of oz dog). anyhow...... so as the neighbors and my folks were getting about with the chit-chat, the little pooch wanders over to bo bo's chair and proceeds to nonchalantly hump the befuddled little fuzzy guy untill he nearly tumbles out of his chair. it happened so fast. then it got tense. really tense. and very soon, without the usual pleasant 'good day', the neighbors and the little molester found themselves out on the sidewalk.
my mom was pretty put off by the whole thing (and still is many years later). our dialogue went somthing like:
"it's a dog, mom".
"those people should be ashamed of themselves."
"and bo bo is just a stuffed bear".
"he's a nice bear."
dad put it best:
"I mean, the dog comes over once and----he never calls-----he never writes------"
"what's a bear to think?"
