GlobglogGroAbgalab: Jul 25, 2016; It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

Just want to bring up an early Simpsons joke I only just now got, the opening to Last Exit to Springfield has MENDOZAAAAAAAAAAA in a McBain film proudly exclaim that his creation, Swank, is 10 times more addictive than marijuana.

Well, he tried and that's what counts.

This could probably go a few more scenes dragging the joke out, considering that a) the school bus ends up at the bottom of the ocean and b) Nelson arms himself and terrorizes Bart. There's way more to mine too, as Bart promising monkey butlers could certainly develop into jokes about serfdom.

Anyone want to storyboard the entire Model UN / Lord of the Flies episode to tell the tale of the Russo-Japanese war and Russian Revolution of 1905?

If any of you are interested in the beginnings of the Simpsons, how it got started, what world existed that allowed it to flourish, and just how the show got made, I strongly recommended The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History by John Ortved. It is an exceptional read about the first decade of the show.

Tracy Ullman being super bitter about the Simpsons because she thought that they sabotaged her show; and not the fact that it was an overly-cerebral sketch show that America just didn't care about. It regularly had over an hour downtime between sketches because there was so much makeup, costumes, and set breakdown, that the audience on set would understandably get bored and wander off - and word got out quick the only reason to go was to see all the Simpsons shorts they fed to them between skits. Something that was true of the broadcast version of the show as well. Of course, she claimed it sabotaged her only after it was settled in court that no, she does not get any sort of money on the back end from the Simpsons.

James L Brooks slowly forcing Sam Simon out because the episode where Mr. Burns needs rare blood from Bart is a 1-to-1 retelling of what happened happened with Brooks' illness. (including the company memo from Smithers/Richard Sakai saying 'you should be so lucky to have your blood in someone so important')

Matt Groening being a writers room pariah because he would only barely participate in writing, layout, and general production of episodes, but would unapologetically take full credit for every step of the process in the hundreds of interviews he did, then fight to make sure no one but him got merchandising checks.

It's really good.

Started this book because of this post and it's great. James L Brooks, at the height of simpsons mania and a literal gazillionaire, accosted a African American guy selling bootleg bart toys in New York while screaming "YOURE STEALING FOOD FROM MY KIDS MOUTHS"

Modern LCDs use an array of LED backlights and selectively dim dark areas of the screen, so increasing brightness in one area will cause the backlight to get brighter, and that effect far outweighs any reduction in power consumption from switching the filters to dark.
