Why I called the blog this

I am a tremendous fan of The Simpsons, and I was watching the DVD of Season Five on my recent vacation. There were several scenes that were cut from syndication because the syndicators wanted to get more commercials into the shows. Most of these are stand-alone, and not very funny.

But in this one episode (it's called Secrets of a Successful Marriage and is coded 1F20), Homer passes a classroom with "Funk Dancing for Self-Defense" on a sign by the door. I'll copy and paste from The Simpsons Archive:

In the next class, Moe teaches gangsta rapper self-defense.  "All
right, here's the 4-1-1, folks.  Say some gangsta is dissin' your fly
girl.  You just give 'em one of these."  A rap beat begins and Moe
begins to break.  After a backflip, he grabs a shotgun at blasts three
rounds into the air -- much to the surprise and discomfort of his
students.

You'll need to trust me - it's very funny. I had shared a room with my brother for eighteen years, and have never seen him laugh as long or as loudly as he did on that sofa at Cape Cod.
