Hey guys... I've noticed this forum is a little slower than the "casual" forums on some of my other favorite sites, and I thought maybe I would start making new threads and see if I can help breathe some fresh air into her.
I have been a HUGE Simpsons fan my whole life. I grew up on this shit. There is a quote for almost every life situation I find myself in, and I often find myself speaking in this foreign "Simpsons Language" that only the most elite fans will recognize 9/10 times.
That being said, I thought it might be fun to play a little game of "Name That Quote"... the idea would be to try to describe the context from which the quote was pulled... not necessarily the episode, but just a description of what was happening in the given scene. (Unlike that terrible Simpsons trivia game where they asked questions like, "In episode 3F10B what color are the shoes marge wears to the concerto?", which are just ridiculously cryptic questions that aren't even fun to try to answer...)
Another way to approach it is to offer a context but not the quote and see who can fill in the blank.
I'm not sure if this will be interesting to anyone here or not, but I figure there have got to be other longtime Simpsons fans on a site like this.
So, guess a quote, or add a quote to guess... or mention a context and see if anyone can fill in the blank! Or add a quote without the character name and suggest we guess that. Be creative, have fun with it. Simpsons Trivia! Woohoo!
P.S. I know we can all just use google to make this not as fun, but why ruin it when you can instead take the opportunity to test your Simpsons chops? We may not be able to prove we didn't use google, but at least we can avoid ruining it for ourselves and give it a shot without help. (And if you do google it, don't post the answer, just be satisfied that you know it now, lol)

Some questions to get the ball rolling and to give you an idea of WTF I'm on about...
Homer is speaking of whom?: "Huh... he came to life. Good for him."
Milhouse is referencing what indiscrepancy here?: "Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the Bowl???"
Name The Character: "The goggles! They do nothing!"
What is suggested to be Lisa's "catchphrase" equivalent to Mr. Burns' "Excellent," Bart's "Ay Carumba," and Homer's "D'oh!"
P.S. If this is a stupid idea, so be it, but I'm bored and this forum is slow...In the episode where Homer legally changes his name to "Max Power", what is the name of his new best friend? And what is the name he legally changes Marge's name to at the end?
