Last weekend I saw a glimps of some program and it had the woman who does the voice of Lisa simpson. I figure many people who do 'toon voices have to stretch their voices or something, but this womans natrual voice sounds like Lisa. So I’m thinking: This womans love life must be in the diaper pail. Who would want to do it with someone who was moanin N groanin like Lisa Simpson? According to [THIS](http://www.wcat.com/ysfc/) site, a lot of people. Ugh. How many of you are sick enough to give her a twirl? ---

She used to be on Hermans’ Head and I alwasy thought she was cute. Now of course it WOULD be strange hearing “Oh God ohhhhhhhh” with Lisa’s voice but not as bad as if you were boinking the woman who does Bart Simpson Ay Carumba! ---

I’m kinda nauseated by the number of people who seem to be up for this. So are the actors. I’ve never met anyone who owned up to feeling this way, for which I’m grateful. ---

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. I still wouldn’t hit it. ---

Well, I like Lisa Simpson. Not in _that_ way, but of all the Simpsons, she’s the one I’d least want to strangle if I spent a half hour with her in person. And while Yeardley Smith is short, she’s clearly an adult. I think that, at worst, sleeping with Yeardley Smith would be like sleeping with a grown-up Lisa Simpson. Nothin’ gross about that. ---

What Miller said. Ms Smith was married for two years, so it’s doubtful that it’s that impossible to detatch her voice from Lisa. I’ve had a similar thought concerning Stephanie Beard, the actress who did Rini’s voice on Sailor Moon for a time. She’s now a ‘Program Jockey’ on YTV, and used to be a radio personality. The voice she used for Rini is her real voice. It’s terribly cute. She is, though, rather an attractive young woman…I doubt she feels any particular lack in that respect, either. ---

No, Nancy Cartwright does Bart’s voice. ---

**Shalmanese** , no it isn’t. Bart’s voice is done by Nancy Cartwright. Lisa is Yeardly Smith, who I have always thought was cute. So is Lisa, in her own way. If I were on the Simpsons, I’d probably be Milhouse, but I’d wish I was Nelson. ---

> [@](#): > > How many of you are sick enough to give her a twirl?..Who would want to do it with someone who was moanin N groanin like Lisa Simpson? I also thought she was damn cute on Herman’s head. And the thought of the moaning thing is attractive, but in my case any contact would result in ‘Fuck off, you fat ugly loser’ which in itself would also be damn cool in Lisa’s voice. ---

Yeardley also played Greg’s secretary on \* Dharma and Greg \*. And she was very annoying. If you can find a copy of Nancy Cartwright’s book \* My Life as a 10 year old boy \*, but it. Very recommended reading for any Simpsons fan. ---

Well, that proves mind is far from the gutter this morning-I thought the threas title meant could you imitate Yeardley Smith’s voice, and I was gonna chime in with, “Hell, yeah, I do it all the time with Mr. Singular doing Nancy Cartwright!” Too bad I didn’t respond first-coulda realy skewed my appearance on this board! ---

I would rather do the voice of Bobby Hill from ‘King of the Hill’. She’s quite the hotty. ---
