My friend and I just spent two and a half periods (that’s approximately 2 hours), grilling each other with Simpson’s trivia. We traded questions as we walked to lunch, quizzed each other while eating, continued while walking back to the student lounge, then sat in the lounge quizzing each other for 40 minutes.
But this was no ordinary Simpson’s trivia. We scoff at simple questions like “What is Principal Skinner’s real name?” and “What is the name of Mr. Burn’s teddy bear?” (Armon Tanzarian and Bobo, respectively). Nay, we delved deep into our collective knowledge and went to war with queries such as:
-“What pen name does the pet store owner tell Lisa that one of the hamsters writes mystery novels under?”
-“What does Gill keep in his hot air balloon?”
-“What are the names of all the Twirl-King Yo-yo performers?”
-“What video game does Bart play, featuring prisoners gouging each other with rusty silverware?”
-“What is the name of Mr. Burn’s boat?”
-“What president does Homer claim is on the ten-thousand dollar bill?”
And so on, and so on. Feel free to take a stab, and give me more ammo for a rematch with him. I’m pretty sure that between the two of us we’ve got just about all the possible trivia covered.
Oh! Oh! I need to know the answer to this. I sold my old boat (“The Unsinkable II”) some time ago, and have yet to think up a suitable name for my new one. So far the best I have is “Cirrhosis of the River”, but I’m thinking I need to do better.
You’re close enough on the hamster. His name was J.D. MacGregor, but the fact that you knew the last name is good, and scary, enough. I think that that’s the most shameful Simpson’s question I’ve ever come up with. I’m impressed.
Correct on all of Zoggie’s, and the FBI agent’s name was Rex Banner. He said it in response to Moe’s pet shop coverup. (“What kind of a pet shop is open to all hours of the night, with wild music and dancing?” “Why, the rockenest pet shop in town, that’s what!”)
Oh, Lowellstar, the name of the boat is “Gone Fission II”. I think it’s a good one.
The Twirl King performers were Sparkle, Mr. Amazing, The Cobra, and Zero Gravity.
BONUS: What song plays while the Twirl Kings perform?
You want hard? You want HARD? I will GIVE you hard and then you’ll BEG for not so hard.

What does Troy McClure do during the Simpsons 100th (or whatever) special, that reveals that instead of being the perky happy medicore movie star we think he is, he is in fact depressed and unhappy?
What does Lisa refer to herself as in the episode where she gets drunk?
What movie does Chief Wiggum watch in the episode where Bart and Ralph become friendly?
Yes, orion, Jesterfish. Long story. Basically, Zoggie and I joined a fish index MB, which we thought needed a bit of sunshine, since the people on it were literally flaming each other over fish care.
So, I signed on as “Jesterfish” and started a thread about how to care for my 5 ft. catfish, featured in this thread. Only, I neglected to tell them that it was stuffed. So, I got a bunch of people yelling at me that I was keeping a 5 ft. catfish in my room, and how I was going to Hell and whatnot, till I came out, told them, and they deleted the thread.
Hence Jesterfish. Hope it’s still as funny.
Anyway, no to Zoggie’s questions:
I’m not entirely sure. Probably either lights up a cigarette or drinks from a flask. Oh, I think that the episode was the 135th spectacular, though.
counterquestion: Who is Lionel Hutz’s AA sponser?
“I am the Lizard Queen.” Please.
counterquestion: Name the rollercoaster that Bart sneaks onto.
Not sure, actually. That’s a good one.
counterquestion: What cartoon character did Ralph once think he saw outside, and what was he doing?
Well, there’s Nelson Muntz, and the quiet foreign exchange student who likes puzzles. Also Milhouse, but only in that she thinks of him as a big sister.
counterquestion: What do Jimbo, Nelson, and Kearny throw at Principal Skinner’s house, and where does Jimbo leave his?
If you count every time Homer screams about something then Homer’s afraid of a lot of stuff. For example when they are in the tree house telling ghost stories he screams over how much it will cost to put Maggie through colllege.

He’s there because he failed to clear the tank of great white sharks, deadly electric eels, ravenous piranhas, bone crushing alligators, and one ferocious lion.
and robedag, i think this is my fault for not making the question clear: the episode i am talking about with lance murdock is the episode where the power plant sponsors a company night at the drag races - mr. burns makes the cars slow down so he can watch the races. they announce that lance murdock is in the hospital for something - but what?
[and besides, he clears the pit of snakes and eels and the ferocious lion, but falls in when he goes up to wave at the stands]
zoggie:
is it (this is a guess) the biography of my friend and yours, benjamin franklin?
the picture above willie’s bed is a black gal in a kilt?
at moe’s, ms. krabopel (sp? - i dont know either) steals aerosmith’s drummer’s drumsticks.
and a question: what is the name of the drug that the mobster-ish guy introduced in a mcbain movie that is “ten times more addictive than marijuana”?
