11/6    The Simpson's area code is 636. Springfield, Missouri.
        \_ How many Simpsons characters do you see here? (some off the map too)
           http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&Pyt=Tmap&newFL=Use+Address+Below&addr=flanders&csz=portland%2C+or&country=us&Get%A0Map=Get+Map
        \_ really?  they gave that out in an episode?  i dont think thats
           \_ The whole episode last night was about the area code...
              So yes, they did give it out in an episode, and not subtly
              either.
           the whole story.  i wa;lways got the impression they
           were in new england, since they were able to easily drive
           to new york city for a weekend. also there were some references to
           certain east coast schools that seemed like they were not so far
           from springfield. also there is no indication in the show of
           sourthern weather....i dont buy it.  it's a trick by groening
           to throw avid viewers off.
           \_ Missouri is considered more Midwest than South.
              \_ you're dumb.
                  \_ yes, very dumb. your punishement for this crime is
                     to live in st. louis until you realize how fucking
                     ass-backwards southern it is, and beg to return
                     to the real world.  Missouri was part of the confederacy,
                     and if you spend any time there you will understand
                     that it sucks ass.
           \_ Throw avid viewers off what?  Trying to find "the real hometown"
           \_ Groening has said before that Springfield is a generic suburb,
                the name chosen simply because there are so many Springfields..
                maybe the area code was just sloppy writing.
        \_ someone once told me he was making fun of Springfield, Oregon..
           Since he went to UO and nearby Springfield is pretty bass
           ackwards.
        \_ http://www.snpp.com has a whole dissertation on Springfield
           (scroll halfway down the FAQ section)
      \_ no he didn't, he went to Evergreen in Olympia, WA

8/12    Bored, watching TV, and came across this synopsis nugget
        for a Three's Company episode:
        "[Janet's boss] Tina blackmails Jack into being at her
         beck and call; otherwise she'll fire Janet."
        The 70s were a weird time.
         \_ there is a _Friends_ episode that could be described zactly the same

1/28    the baby borg episode of star trek:voyager is so sad!
        \_ Jeri Ryan's firm rear end gave us Obama.  God bless her.
           \_ What about the front?
           \_ How was this supposed to have come about?
           \_ I thought I rehashed this for the motd.  Jeri Ryan used to be
              married to an Illinois senator.  They had a messy divorce.

12/15   Anyone have opinions on media streamers that connect to your tv and
        let you play all those bittorrented movies?  I'm getting sick of
        my xbox refusing to play every other video.
        \_ My current solution is an old pc with a cheap video card, using
           Synergy on my laptop.  This plus every episode of MST3K has provided
           much entertainment.
