DrVenkman PhD Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Good pick. I was thinking about drafting Otto. Funny because Otto was by Gil back-up.
Nighthawk Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Can I borrow a feeling? Yes I can. KIRK VAN HOUTEN! George HW Bush.
Youth N Asia Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I've been so tempted to pick George Bush well played
DrVenkman PhD Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Lovable loser Kirk Van Houten. Great stuff there. That entire episode with the divorce is great (Marge hiding the Allied Biscuits, I believe the above "Stoner's Pot Palace is from the episode, etc.). Kirk: I sleep in a racecar. Do you sleep in a racecar? Homer: No I sleep in a big bed with my wife. As for my pick, after some soul searching on which of the two potential candidates I had in mind for round 4, I'll go with...: (sorry, this is the best image that came up in the search) The Iron Yuppie! Tonight! Dr. Hillbilly versus the Iron Yuppie in a Texas Deathmatch, where one man will actually be unmasked and killed! In the ring! Homer: I hope they kill that Iron Yuppie.

Brett Favre Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Number One. Number One: And now the final ordeal: the paddling of the swollen ass...with paddles.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 That's a hell of a pick. There's some really obscure ones being taken so far, and I'm sure that'll continue, but I think that will be the most fun about the draft. On that note, there's two regulars that I'm surprised are still up for grabs. (Shocked about one of them). Also I'd like some input from my fellow draftors (absolute power has not corrupted me absolutely). Rando's flirting with his second missed pick in a row. Now, given that all of us work and actually have things to do outside of TSM (right?), coupled with the speed at which we're moving, I think he deserves some slack. So rather than outright ban him (at least, right away) I was thinking we could allow a special guest draftor for him in the interim. I know there were a few people who were left out and wanted in, so, what does everyone else think of this? I would say guest guy will draft between Milky's picks in rounds 4 & 5. This, of course, assumes that Rando misses his pick this round. I will PM him tomorrow morning if he hasn't posted yet. By the way, I had a chance to use a WICKED line in that paragraph, but didn't want to name drop.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Or you could just automatically skip over him. Either or.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Maggie Simpson Surprised she's still here. She is always there when you need her. Whether she's saving Homer from the basement of a crazy tow truck operator or taking out someone on a cliff, she's always clutch. Hopefully my other pick will still be here when my turn comes around again.
Scroby Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Damn you Zoo! Fucking damn you! He was going to be my next surprise pick! That episode is #1 on my favorite Simpsons episodes list.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I remember who I wanted now. The founder of Springfield, Jebediah Springfield. "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man". Remember that embiggens is a cromulent word.
Burning Pirate Ship Sex Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 "I did not tame the wild buffalo; it was already tame. I merely shot it."
Aero Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 My next pick... Disco Stu Sees "Disco Stu(d)" jacket Friend: "Stu, you should buy this." Stu: "Disco Stu doesn't advertise."
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 On that note, there's two regulars that I'm surprised are still up for grabs. (Shocked about one of them). I overlooked Sideshow Bob, whom I was shocked about. Still, I'm very surprised by one regular who hasn't been taken.
JJ Johnson Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Kirk was on the receiving end of probably the cruelest line in the history of the show. "So that's it? After twenty years, so long, good luck?" "I don't recall saying good luck."
Boner Kawanger Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I really wish they'd gone with the original plan for A Milhouse Divided (as mentioned on the commentary) and had the entire story focus on the Van Houtens instead of forcing in a Marge/Homer story at the end. It's a severely underrated episode.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 My dad and bro and I have always had a thing for "Top 5's" (but not like John Cusack in High Fidelity). The most debated has been Homer's injuries. All of us agree that Bart hitting Homer in the back with a chair while Homer's in the bath is a top fiver.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 So, after mulling it over...Black Flagg will take Rando's place if Rando misses his fourth rounder. That may sound a little harsh, but, conceivably, his Round Four window may not close until Wednesday morning. This'll find its way into the first post with the rules, but anyone who misses two straight picks (or three altogether) will be shown the door.
Mecha Mummy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 You mean Rando and not Scroby, right?
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, since I said Rando; I don't know where you got Scroby from.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 I stand by my disappointed groan.
Mecha Mummy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 And this, kids, is why you always use the quote function before it's too late and you look like a raving lunatic. When will I learn?
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 Considering how well this draft has gone - Twice, the edit button has been my friend.
CanadianGuitarist Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Posted November 10, 2008 Sorry, Al. I've eluded to a recurring character who I'm surprised is still out there. Well, if he/she could last four rounds, they can last five. I'm going to go with a lesser regular, but one I prefer. It's not that the first guy is scum, I only consider him scum compared to Krusty. Luigi Risotto. Yeah, you see how you scum.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 That's what I get for going to work. My next pick is Sherri (but not Terri).

Boner Kawanger Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I remember who I wanted now. The founder of Springfield, Jebediah Springfield. Sounds like you have a case of Jebeditis.
BlackFlagg Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 I remember who I wanted now. The founder of Springfield, Jebediah Springfield. Sounds like you have a case of Jebeditis. Just as I was getting over my case of Chester A. Arthritis
