Google, me, and the Doodletown Pipers
Been almost a month since I've added anything here; I've been crazy busy with work, finishing school, etc... Well, not "finishing school." I didn't just have my debutante ball and am now learning how to be a real lady. "Finishing" in this case is a verb. Well, a gerund actually. Yeah! That education wasn't wasted!
Anyways, I've also been journaling more lately, which for those of you who didn't read my previous post about this topic simply means that I've been too lazy to really craft anything I'd be willing to share with the world and have just been writing mundane stuff.
I'm also working on a supersecret project with a buddy... well, okay, I'm actually waiting for him to complete the framework for the project and will then begin contributing to it. But that's for another time.
Really, what I wanted to write about here real quick is this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22the+pope+of+chilitown%22. If you google "the pope of chilitown" my blog is the first thing to pop up! I don't know what that means, but it's pretty dope anyways. Thanks to all my invisible friends who made this possible! (What's really interesting is that the second entry on the google search is the blog I wrote about the Francis Coppola/Gene Hackman movie "The Conversation." What the hey?)
The best thing about The Simpsons in general, and about the particular episode in which "The Pope of Chilitown" appears, is the eternal quotability. This episode, the one with the chili cookoff, Homer's peyote trip, and Johnny Cash as the the spirit coyote, contains an almost endless supply of one-liners for just about any occasion. For example, I also populated my Google Pages web site with lines from this episode, and there was an appropriate one for just about everything. The best fit relates to my horoscope writing: "Don't quit your day job," which is what Homer says to Chief Wiggum after coating his mouth with wax and eating six Guatamalan Insanity Peppers (grown in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatamalan insane asylum). But this episode also has such classics as: "I hear he carved it himself...from a bigger spoon..."; "so I says to Mabel, I says..."; "less artsy, more fartsy"; "maybe I do, son...maybe I do..."; "...his ears if we're lucky..."; and, the always appropriate... "oh sure, everything's bad if you remember it..."
And of course, "The Pope of Chilitown." Sigh.
