Ask me about the simpsons
 

Seriously, If it appeared in an episode, I probably know it.

Scratch that, I DO know it.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

What is Lisa's middle name?

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

First of all.... I'm fairly certain it has never been said, but it does begin with the letter M because she signed her name "L.M.S." on the episode that banned the teaching of evolution.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

How many times has the running joke of Troy Macclure been in a Simpsons episode?

Seriously, I want to know.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Lisa Marie Simpson.

Sorry, but you lose.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Epic fail.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

all right.... I seriously didn't see that in an E-P-I-S-O-D-E

That, my friend, is from a simpson book.

And the Troy Mclure gag has appeared 11 times, 12 if you count the episode he married Patty.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Yeah, you really don't have a clue about anything, do you.

Far more than 11 times there, I'm not even counting how many.

So far you are 0 / 2. Nice going.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Where do the Simpsons live.

Yes, there is an answer, and yes, it does appear in the show. You only have to watch two episodes to get it right, but three will really seal the deal.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

How come the Simpsons are all yellow but every other race has there skin colour?

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Well, I can't say for sure.

According to a producer, their address is:

742 Evergreen Terrace
Springfield, North Takoma, 40097

But it may be a bluff.

And for the yellow? Groening said something about it being different, bright, and making it look like "something's wrong with your TV set..."

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

I want the entire lyrics of the monorail song, and no looking it up.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

North Takoma isn't a real state.

In the episodes I mentioned, there is irrefutable evidence that they live in a specific U.S. state.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Name every charecter that has ever been seen on the simpsons...if they were seen once and didnt even speak.. I WANT THERE NAME!!

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

@Squeek: I'd like to see this "evidence," as all of the features Springfield boasts tell me it's impossible to be a real state.

Near a FIVE-state junction?

Contains canyons, deserts, AND mountains?

A west side THREE TIMES the size of Texas?

Don't think so.

Due to these (and other) many contradictory clues, it is impossible for Springfield to exist in any set location. It's put mainly where it suits writers best for a given episode.

Miss Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud...
Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud.
Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend?
Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level.
Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can.
Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear it's Springfield's only choice...

Monorail!
Homer: Mono... D'oh!

(Homer screws up again lol)

@Angel666:
I won't bore you with a list.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Some things are fictional, but it still exists somewhere.

And that somewhere is Arizona.

You missed the part in the Monorail song where he mentions where else Monorails have been. There's one city in the southwest he mentions. That city also happens to compete with Springfield in the State Band Competition in the Duncan the Race Horse episode. Therefore, they're in the same state.

How do I know it's Arizona? On the map Homer has of all the states the family is banned from visiting, Arizona is one of the only states not crossed off. There's no way they can live in a state they're banned from, and even though Homer laments that "Arizona smells funny", that's no reason they can't live there.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Damn it, that's right. Well done, Squeek.

I re-read and it all fits XD :lol:

You're good.

Re: Ask me about the simpsons
 

Yeah, well, it's the only logical choice.

It's probably wrong, but it's really the only one that works with the information given.

And I doubt the creators had that in mind at all.
