Homer: What are you doing! That putter is to you what a bat is to a baseball player! What a violin is... to the... the guy that...the violin guy! Now c'mon! Give your putter a name.
Bart: What?
Homer: C'mon, give it a name.
Bart: Mister Putter.

Bart: Mom.
Homer: Your putter's name is Charlene!

Bart: Who's Charlene?

I'm sitting here with my bluetooth-enabled laptop, pda, and phone, and you're telling me it's all obsolete now?!?!?
