“Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is another nail”

“It takes two to lie: one to lie and one to listen”

Bart: "Grandpa, why don't you tell a story?"
Lisa: "Yeah Grandpa, you lived a long and interesting life."
Grandpa: "That's a lie and you know it"

Marge: "Homer, is this the way you pictured married life?"
Homer: "Yeah, pretty much, except we drove round in a van solving mysteries"

Homer: "We're proud of you, Boy.”
Bart: "Thanks Dad. Part of this d-minus belongs to God"

"Life is just one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead"

"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never try”

"When I look at people I don't see colours; I just see crackpot religions"

"Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals … except the weasel"

Lisa: “I’m going to become a vegetarian”
Homer: “Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?”
Lisa: “Yes”
Homer: “Bacon?”
Lisa: “Yes Dad”
Homer: "Ham?”

Homer: “Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!”

Homer: "I'll take one"
Marge: "What, do you follow my husband around to sell him hot dogs?"
Vendor: "Lady, he's putting my kids through college."

"How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?"

"Lisa, you've got the brains and talent to go as far as you want, and when you do I'll be right there to borrow money.”

“Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.”

“What’s the point of going out? We’re just gonna wind up back home anyway.”

"Cheating is the gift man gives himself."

"Books are useless! I only ever read one book, To Kill A Mockingbird, and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds!"

"Go out on a Tuesday? Who am I, Charlie Sheen?"

"To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

Chinese Actress Sued for Her Intense Stare
by EMMA WILKINSON

Zhao Wei, one of the most famous stars in China, has been sued for staring too intensely at the plaintiff through the television screen.

A new court regulations system was passed in China, which authorities hoped would "put an end to obstructive behavior by courts and officials meddling in cases," according to The

. However, an unintended consequence of this change is the increase in frivolous cases like the man who claims Wei's stare caused him "spiritual damage."

Reports say the lawsuit filed by a Shanghai man involves the prime-time TV show "Tiger Mom" which debuted in May and centers on a couple's differing approach to raising their daughter. Zhao plays the big-eyed mother who relentlessly pushes her daughter's development, while the father wants his child to have more freedom.

Gan Wen, deputy head of a case-filing chamber under the Supreme Court, said at a news conference Tuesday that the Zhao case was an example of citizens abusing their right to file lawsuits: "It's not necessary to waste our judicial resources on cases like these," Gan said.

I miss the Days Of good nose art on American Aircraft. The Japanese have embraced it in there own unique form and being me I have to say It's not bad. I am sure it's not appealing to all but the Idea is the same although pushing more Kawaii and Moe (pronounced K-way and Mo-ah) meaning Cute and Adorable vs the raw sex appeal ( could call it Fan service for some to Echii to down right Hentai levels for some old Warbirds ) of Traditional US Military. The SDF has even gone so far as to adopt there own Official "Idols" for the three main services and even individual units. That's right Anime Girls to represent a military service.

Momoe Kibi for the JGSDF
Mizuho Seto for the JMSDF
Airi Bizen for the JASDF
As to the style of the look the Japanese adopted the big eyes from early American Cartoon Characters like Betty bop and Mickey Mouse. Anime and Manga permeate the entirety of modern Japanese and to a degree modern overall east Asian culture including Japan, south Korean. Chinese, the Philipines and beyond even beginning to merge into American Culture along side Other pop culture imports like Super Senti, Kaman Rider, Ringu and more.
And those who were here when I fist joined might remember my own Idol.
