Not enough Kang and Kodos! ## Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They’re nothing but hideous space reptiles. [unmasks them] [audience gasps in terror] Kodos: It’s true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about it? It’s a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us. [murmurs] Man1: He’s right, this is a two-party system. Man2: Well, I believe I’ll vote for a third-party candidate. Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away! Kodos: “it seems the earthlings have won” Kang: “Did they? That board with a nail in it may have defeated us. But the humans won’t stop there. They’ll make bigger boards and bigger nails, and soon, they will make a board with a nail so big, it will destroy them all!” ---

When Homer and Marge’s marriage was in trouble, they received some fine counseling from Rev. Lovejoy: Lovejoy: “Get a divorce.” Marge: “But isn’t that a sin?” Lovejoy: “Marge, just about everything is a sin. Y’ever sat down and read this thing? Technically, we’re not allowed to go to the bathroom.” ---

Well, I learned my lesson - no more quoting from memory. From my (maybe) favourite ep: The Computer Wore Menace Shoes Homer: That’s a great idea! I’ll make up some news! Lisa: At least take off your Pulitzer prize when you say that. Homer: No you won’t! [Runs to a red British phone booth] Hello, operator. I’d like to report a really weird island. Please send lot’s of rescue 'copters to … [the phone gases him] [groggily] Oh, well, alright. Whatever. Homer: Wow. So who brought us here? Number 6: I don’t know. Homer: Did you bring us here? Number 6: No. Number 2: I wouldn’t count on that Number Five. As far as your family knows, Homer Simpson is walking in the front door right about now. Homer: [his face covered in ice cream and drugs] I’m sorry? What? ---

> [@The\_King\_of\_Soup](#): > > Since when is 6 a _vowel_? A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes 9, right? Six is obviously a vowel. Nine is a consonant. My god, are we going to have to go over this again? I stay up to study with you, I pay for a tutor and you think 6 is not a vowel. Jeez. I’ll start the coffee. Looks like it’s going to be a late night. You are never getting in to H6rv6rd at this rate. ---
