Quimby2000

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-candidate-worth-voting-for dept.

cote finally sent us a candidate worth voting for: Joseph Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald Fitzhenry Quimby! He's anti gun control (but pro bullet control) and his tax plan is perfect! (With our first week of election coverage finally wrapped up, I needed the laugh).

    I posted this in the "Simpsons Rant" thread, but I thought I'd put it in the main discussion thread too.

    The real reason for the success of the Simpsons is not Matt Groening, but a writer from the Lampoon, Harvard's in-house humor magazine. Sam Simon, a producer, liked George Meyer's Army Man enough that he tracked Meyer down and hired the whole staff onto the Simpsons.

    The rest is history.

    You can read a nice long story about it here:

    1961 - Joe Quimby Sr. mysteriously disappears. His body is found a decade later, marooned in a sand trap in the back nine.

    and then...

    1978 - Joe Quimby reluctantly graduates from college, after his father threatens to take away his girlfriend.

    I guess that Joe Quimby Sr. was a very influential man.
