I'm too lazy to type anything about me. Read my blog and I'm sure you'll eventually learn a few things.

"Marge, you make it sound so seamy. All I did was spend the afternoon in her trailer watching her try on some outfits."

Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#15 Colonel Homer
Season 3, Episode 20 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)

Angry with Marge after being publicly embarrassed by her, Homer drives into the night and visits a bar far outside Springfield. In it, he finds a singing waitress whose song he can’t get out of his head. A few days later, he goes back to see her, and takes her to one of those make-your-own-cd places. The owner of that place has a brother in the radio business and gets her some playtime on the local station. Homer becomes her manager, and her career continues to grow. Marge is displeased that he’s spending so much time with another woman, and catches on to the attraction she has to Homer, to which he is oblivious. She makes her move on Homer, and he has to make his decision. Naturally, he chooses Marge. Memorable moments include parking, drinking soda and other annoying behavior by Homer, Marge yelling at Homer, Bart explaining Homer’s anger, forgetting Maggie, Flaming Pete’s, smells, fighting words, Yodeling Zeke, pig, back at home, surgery, bowling, Moe’s disappointment in Homer, getting a copy of the song, song titles, smacking around Sideshow Mel, prison riot, Marge’s anger and Homer’s complete lack of understanding, Homer’s full disclosure, another of Homer’s lifelong dreams, recording studio, theory of lying, packaging records, complimenting Homer, portrait of Homer in the trailer, Homer missing (and then getting) the “hidden message” of the song, Hee Haw parody, Homer’s first meeting with the record company representative, Homer’s romantic life flashing before his eyes, negotiations, reunion with Marge, Marge’s reaction to the television, and all the songs (I’m not a huge country music fan or anything, but they’re well written, better than the parodies of Mary Poppins and Evita, which were the only episodes that had roughly equivalent amounts of singing (not counting the one clip show)).
