I believe it was Duff Gardens.

Hold your cards, hold your cards, we've got a bingo!

Both those clips were pretty funny THX.

I love the Simpsons!

We've got seasons 1-5 on DVD. My kids watch them over and over. No wonder they can't read or write.

:-)

My wife won't let me watch the Simpson's with the kids around. But my kids are only 5, so that's a little different.

My favorite episode was when Santa's Little Helper had to go to the vet and the OR door swung open.  He got a glimpse of a hamster dying, being tossed through a basketball hoop and falling into the garbage.  He started shaking.  HAHAHAHAHAHa

Oh crap, now I'm crying...

Well yeah, it's a bit much for 5 year olds.

Even I question some of what my boys see on that show. Thank Gawd most of the bad stuff goes over their heads.

They're into "Fear Factor" lately. I won't let them watch it, I think it's nasty, but their Dad does lets them watch it when they're at his place.

My favorite episode...

There's so many awesome scenes in the Simpsons.

Even if the show overall sucks, there's always one scene that makes me laugh my ass off.

Yeah, I don't think Bart is a very good roll model, but that Lisa is ok...  It's definately an adult cartoon.

Yeah, the problem with my kids is if I laugh at it they'll repeat it. Even if they don't understand what they're saying.

Marge decides to try demolition derby. Someone crashes into her, and her helmet goes flying into the crowd, where Cletus catches it. He says, "Look! I caught a head!" Then he turns it over (so the "face" side is up) and says, "Aw, dang...It's been scooped out!" Ha ha ha!

BTW, I was wondering where Zephy has been lately. I hope he can grace us with his presence soon!

Yeah CM, that was quite a rush. I have to say I had more fun digging with more people then I ever have before. It always seems like when Mapguy and I put our heads together we always end up damn close to the thing. Yeah CM, you better have the heated seats in your Caddie fired up next year....

I am a little surprised noone has commented on my avatar. The pic is real believe it or not.

On 25 September 1978 Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 183 crashed into the residential area of North Park after colliding with a Cessna 172 while making a visual approach to runway 27 in San Diego, California.

137 People onboard were killed as well as 7 people on the ground.

Here is some fascinating stuff for all of you die-hard treasure hunters out there.

I just woke up a few minutes ago. Not to deviate from protocall, I just had my weekly dream about the treasure hunt. After the the treasure was found, they announce they are going to have another hunt! So after 12 more gueling days, there we are back at Crosby!!!! They actually drilled a hole on the top of a log big enough to hold the medallion. A 73 year old man found it at 3:30pm on the day after clue 12 was released, making it the longest hunt in history.

This is interesting for a few reasons. First of all, it is the first time that I can recall having a dream about the hunt and the medallion actually being in a St. Paul park. It is also interesting because it is the first time I have ever had a dream about a hunt from beginning to end. Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the clues.

I do, however, remember talking to Mapguy and OTS. My last thought before I woke up, "I can't believe I have to wait 12 months to hunt again!"

Well I'll take it as a good sign that I was in the right park :)

Obviously, Big G, you're not that big of a Simpsons afficianado. Sure, you rembered the dogs, and the bees - and the dogs with bees in their mouth - but you forgot the most evile, ruthless killing machine known to man.

The Robotic Richard Simmons.

We are having internet difficulties, so I may be popping in and out, over the next few days... If I go out for more than 2 days... My wife is in contact with the Crew, so if anything bad happens you'll know...

So don't worry 'bout me... I am bullet proof :)

Yeah, I think I posted on one of the other boards that I was going to. There is something about a 737 full of people doing a nosedive into a residential area that just doesn't sit well with me. I will as soon as i can, I need to find another good one first.
