GRAMMARPLEASE
Adster6/04/07 12:02 PM You may be trying to impart too much logic into the argument. The way I interpret it, the kid likes to go to sleep. He'll willingly do so at command. I guess I can't understand what's so baffling about saying one is a Viking at something they enjoy to do. I'm not saying it's a commonly-heard phrase by any means, nor do I even claim to understand what the exact "meaning" of it is (if it has "meaning" at all). It's a silly expression.

so, this here is apparently a 'thing' too (albeit not to the same extent as the viking):
When Hank asks Homer if he's ever seen a guy say goodbye to a shoe, does homer say "hehe yes once" becausea. he's seen a guy previously in his life say goodbye to a shoe and is reminiscingorb. he's thinking about the time hank said goodbye to a shoe and is thinking about that?
a. he's seen a guy previously in his life say goodbye to a shoe and is reminiscing
or
b. he's thinking about the time hank said goodbye to a shoe and is thinking about that?
a or b? ILX, you decide.

a. but not interesting enough to argue about...I think I thought about this on my own before while watching the episode, which was recently cause I'm powering through the first 10 seasons. homer's response isn't the joke and was prob an afterthought for the writer. classic episode...top 5 for me.

The show's writers did not worry too much about perfecting Scorpio's lines because they knew Brooks would rewrite or ad lib new ones.[4] Entire parts of Scorpio's dialogue, such as his hammock speech, are Brooks's lines and not the writers'. Dan Castellaneta described how, after he prepared something for Homer to say in response to Brooks's new Scorpio lines, Brooks would deliver totally different lines in the next take.[7] Josh Weinstein said Homer's reactions are exactly like someone talking to Albert Brooks.[4]
― iatee, Tuesday, 1 February 2011 03:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Hah. Yes I could totally see "you ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe?" being an adlib, as well as castellanatas response!
On the DVD of season um... 1 or 2, the one where Marge falls for Jaques the bowling instructor, there is a whole outtake section where Brooks and Julie Kaver are doing what sounds very much like an extended adlib of the seduction scene where she's fainted. There is someone giggling in the background and everything. Brooks is a hoot.

amazing post i stumbled across on a TV Without Pity forum:
Practically everyone on the Simpsons has a catch phrase, which was highlighted at the end of one episode where all of the characters appeared and said their's. Then, everyone looks at Lisa, who hasn't said anything, she frowns then mutters, "if anyone needs me, I'll be in my room." Here's the debate I had with someone else once: Is that her catch phrase, or is the point that she doesn't have one? I thought it was the latter, my debatee thought it was the former. Opinions?
like, this person makes the people on the wrong side of the viking debate seem like rocket scientists.

It simply means that you were really good at procrastinating, not that you are literally a salmon when you do so.

Second, there was controversy over the existence and meaning of Bentley's alleged instruction to Craig, "let him have it, Chris". Craig and Bentley denied that Bentley had said the words while the police officers testified that he had said them. Further, Bentley's counsel argued that even if he had said the words, it could not be proven that Bentley had intended the words to mean the informal meaning of "shoot him, Chris" instead of the literal meaning of "give him the gun, Chris".

haha wow this thread. just read the whole thing but I never heard of this "debate".
I wonder if there's some fundamental difference in how the A & B people experience dreams. It seems like a few of the A people have a problem conceiving of sleep as a place, which might be why they were stretching for some alternate interpretation.
