Aero Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Last pick, I'll take... Big Daddy "New Orleans is my town. Nobody going to mess with me. I got interests, and I ain't talking about stamp collecting, though I do find that extremely interesting."
King Kamala Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Now that Venkman mentions it, I'm glad Lindsay Nagle hasn't been picked yet. One of the few Simpsons characters I actively dislike. Another one is Helen Lovejoy. I guess I'm spoiling since I don't think either have been picked but dammit I don't care! I wouldn't mind Helen Lovejoy getting drafted, but Jesus Christ, yes, I'm glad nobody's drafted Lindsey Naegle too. What a boring, boring stock character. I really only dislike Helen Lovejoy for the brief period where they tried to get "Won't somebody please think of the children!" as a catchphrase. For some reason, that really annoyed me. And yeah, the introduction of Lindsay Naegle just happens to correspond with the downfall of The Simpsons. So many better secondary characters yet she plays a decent part in a lot of later day episodes.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Posted November 23, 2008 I can't find a picture, but Simpsons Tom Brokaw is awesome. "And we laugh legitimately! They're a colourful bunch - a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician."
Youth N Asia Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Final pick Don Mattingly "I still like him better than Steinbrenner."
TheFranchise Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 I can't find a picture, but Simpsons Tom Brokaw is awesome. "And we laugh legitimately! They're a colourful bunch - a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, and a statistician." This
TheFranchise Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 I suppose since I have Lisa.. I'll best take her brother! .... Yep. Hugo Simpson
Youth N Asia Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Hugo was one the last ones on my shortlist. I'll post the rest after the draft ends
Boner Kawanger Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 I'll take the best member of U2: Adam Clayton...! And his spoon collection! (Far right) Adam: Look, guys. I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection. The Edge: Aw, 'ere we go... Bono: How many spoons have you got now, Adam? Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Now that I'm reminded of that episode, I don't think Roy Patterson would have been a bad pick.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Worth it just to hear Mr. Burns call U2, "wankers."
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 I heard that had to be cut from the UK airing. Thoughts on this, TheFranchise?
JJ Johnson Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Linguo, The Grammar Robot. Linguo... dead? Linguo... is... dead...
BlackFlagg Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 After much debate, for my final pick I'm gonna go old school, you can have your inanimate carbon rod 'cause I got the original.... Smilin' Joe Fission
Mecha Mummy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Well, I opened my draft up with Albert Brooks playing a villain, and god damn it, that's how I'm gonna close it, too. Russ Cargill "Well, then you find 'em, and you get 'em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, soft, tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft, tough, soft!" "... s-sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power." "Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, no one listens to you!" or, alternatively... "There's a couple of things they don't teach you in Harvard Business School. One is how to cope with defeat; the other is how to handle a shotgun. I'm going to do both right now." .... or, alternatively... "What, are you telling us we're trapped like rats?!" "No, rats couldn't be trapped this easily. You're trapped like... carrots."
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 In my final pick, I had a hard time picking one...but... Mark Hamill Luke, Be A Jedi Tonight! "That was close. Well, thanks a lot, Homer." "Well, it's a ... hey! I thought you twisted your ankle!" "Oh, yeah ... well, see, the thing about that, is..." /runs "Hey, pal. That's my head shot up there next to the pepper steak, and don't you forget it." "You're all talk, Hamill! You never even finished Jedi school!" "Homer! Use the for..." "The Force?" "The forks! Use the forks!" "Oh."
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Posted November 24, 2008 That's the steal of the round, I'd say.
TheFranchise Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I heard that had to be cut from the UK airing. Thoughts on this, TheFranchise? 100% true. Didn't make it onto our screens. Shame really.
Scroby Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I thought about Mark Hamill but really didn't care to pick him up...I also thought maybe Funzo might have been my last pick...but then I remembered this Simpsons character...... Rabbi Hyman Krustofski Young Jewish Man: Reb Krustofsky, should I finish college? Rabbi Hyman Krustofski: Yes. No one is poor except he who lacks knowledge. Jewish Woman: Rabbi, should I have another child? Rabbi Hyman Krustofski: Yes. Another child would be a blessing on your house. Jewish Man: Rabbi, should I buy a Chrysler? Rabbi Hyman Krustofski: Could you rephrase that as an ethical question? Jewish Man: Um... is it right to buy a Chrysler? Rabbi Hyman Krustofski: Oh, yes. For great is the car with power steering and dyna-flow suspension.
Cuban Linx Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 To finish the draft i take: Doctor Colossus
Boner Kawanger Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Shit I forgot to draft Dr. Colossus. But in my defense, he has to stay away from Doom Mountain, and that's where all his stuff is!
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Let the shortlists and second-guessing begin: I couldn't find a picture of Alex Trebek, which contributed to my not drafting him. I also had The Who, Keith Richards, and all of the ballplayers in "Homer at the Bat" on my list, specifically Wade Boggs. I can't explain why, but the way he said "How ya doin?" when being introduced was hi-larious!
Youth N Asia Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 The rest of my shortlist that didn't get picked
BlackFlagg Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 the ones I was debating over for my final pick Blinky Corporal Punishment Sanjay Darryl Strawberry Homer Glumplich Hugh Jass Munchie
Jebus Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 "Hey, Mr. S!" I wasn't part of the draft but, had I been, Roy would've definitely been picked.
Youth N Asia Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Mattingly, Roy, and Kearney were my top 3 at the end of the draft
Boner Kawanger Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I probably should have drafted David Byrne since Talking Heads is one of my favorite bands. I've got the Simpsons cast poster on my wall and was using it constantly. At a glance, the characters I was surprised to see go unpicked were Blinky, the nerds from Homer Goes to College, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney from The Beatles, and Lance Murdock. And I remember some debate over Snowball II earlier but no one seemed to get any of them/her. And Ku Klux Klam.
