As a former Communication student, I’d have to disagree with your answer. **Lubchecnko** and I shared the same phony major.

I claim “Shenanigans” on this question. The answer is not available from the Simpsons episode and is pure speculation. 🙂

Although it is often believed that that line is referring to Carlos Casteneda, it doesn’t really refer to anyone. The line was originally written as “I’m the first cartoon character to travel through time!” However, the writers didn’t find that funny enough, and it was changed to the non-sequitur “non-Brazilian.”

Source: old Usenet postings\* quoting Simpsons writers and Film Roman, producers of animation for the show.

As my “answer” was refused on a controversial question challenge (damn, you mobo85 for packing the Supreme Court with YOUR allies!), I withdraw the Casteneda reference and yield my time to Avarie537.  
Not to go get drunk with Tom Petty and Jon Bon Jovi!

No one ever questioned my “Stupidhead” one. Oh well. I confess I haven’t read the entire thread, so maybe it was already asked. While we’re waiting for a response to Dooku’s…

What tune is used on the following two occaisions: (1) when Homer wins a ride on the Duff blimp (“Hey, Blimpie Boy…”); (2) when Artie Ziff invents a device to turn that annoying modem connecting sound into easy-listening music ( “Hey computer nerd/You’ll be connected in a minute or two…”\*)?

\*Lyrics approximate

Answer: Two celebrities who appeared in “The Itchy and Scratchy Movie” but didn’t use their real names.
