In Season 2, Episode 9, "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge", when Roger Myers, Jr. is reading the hate mail and one goes, "I will never watch your show, buy any of your products or brake if I see you crossing the street." At first I thought this was very cute, like I wouldn't stop my car at a crosswalk you were waiting at. But is it more sinister? if I saw you walking across the street I would not slow down, and might end your life. Thoughts?

the latter interpretation? First would literally have never occurred to me.
― ydkb (gyac), Friday, 22 September 2023 12:07 (seven months ago) link
Absolutely the latter.

I realize that is the literal interpretation of the words. But I don't think one need to be in the middle of the road to be in the act of "crossing the street". It can include the waiting for a break bit, to my mind. I thought it was cutely petty.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 22 September 2023 12:13 (seven months ago) link
I think it's similar in intent to I wouldn't stop to piss on you if you were on fire.
― peace, man, Friday, 22 September 2023 12:16 (seven months ago) link
you're describing "waiting to cross the street".

because you thought it meant you wouldn’t piss on someone who was about to light a match?

i wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire has more going on that the option to dampen flames to save a life. the disgust in the delivery ought be weighted on the "i wouldnt piss on him" imo and ime because the level of contempt starts with a disavowal of even that level of contact with which your status is maximised and the potential leakee's is minimised, the further scenario extended is merely underlining that not even in the extremity of circumstances with the direst of outcomes for the enflamed would you be enticed to even this level of interaction

When Bart says “Don’t have a cow, man” he’s obviously asking someone to live the vegetarian lifestyle, but recently I heard a different interpretation

Little-known fact: Homer Simpson originally dreamt of being a pastry chef, a baker, or working in a pizzeria.
That's why he frequently exclaims "dough," to indicate his chagrin about the way his life has unfolded. Every time things go wrong for him, he wishes he had followed his passion for breadmaking, hence his continual lament: "dough."
― Hereward the Woke (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 22 September 2023 15:41 (seven months ago) link
You're overthinking it like usual. It's really that he keeps forgetting to pick it up at the market, and the recurring gag is him suddenly realizing the oversight at random points throughout his day.
― Evan, Friday, 22 September 2023 16:10 (seven months ago) link
There's a simpler explanation for the dough, YMP.

Oh wow thanks I never realized
So you're saying he is craving to be reunited with the mysterious colorful "O" shaped object that he once found on the gray tiled floor of the bathroom, when he was lying there to have his morning cry and noticed just above his head. Curious, he reached out and grabbed it between his two fingers and felt suddenly elated, complete again. So whenever he is in a stressful situation, he says "the O!" or "da O!" to recalibrate.
I'm so stupid

It's okay, Evan. Dan Castellaneta worked hard to cover up his Chicago accent, but there are a few "tells" such as this one.

That scene where Sideshow Bob keeps trying to break the rakes with his head. Why does he hate rakes so much?
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Friday, 22 September 2023 16:24 (seven months ago) link
he was trying to explain his thoughts on complex social issues and every time he said "I be leaf", the rake reacted

Krusty is a rake by blood iirc

I am given to understand that "eat my shorts" is actually a reference to Bart's longstanding hobby of writing, directing, and starring in brief films. He hopes (metaphorically) that audiences will enthusiastically consume them.
So when he says "eat my shorts," he's really saying "please voraciously watch my limited-duration movies."

I was surprised to hear a podcaster I listen to casually drop the "that's where I'm a viking" expression the other day in the context of "that's where I'm at my peak contentment / comfort zone".
He does like to drop the odd Simpsons reference now and again, but it made me wonder how proliferate this expression is outside of ILX?
