Hmmm, Mocky Moderator, sounds like a good name for an Adam Sandler spoof!
I apologise profusely for any mocking that may have caused offense, Sir C@ntus (scrapes the floor with hisface and chest, gathering several pieces of broken balloon into his nostrils)...

Well, Gidg, to be honest, the Simpsons doesn't display behaviour that myself or my wife want our son to absorb and repeat!
While it is one of my favourite shows, it's not really suitable for the littlies...

I totally agree with you Charles, I just go a tad bit further. I don't think it's suitable for anyone, I've never liked it myself.
Now that should really bring out the flames.

Gidg... sweetie... really. If you are visiting us you must really be prepared for a simpsons overload... We even have a lifesized dancing homer that is just a bit taller than me.
Feel free to come and watch the simpsons with us anytime!
Hey charles!!!

Puk ... hurry ... dump the water on Charles. He's the one going up in flames. I wanted to get a reaction, I just didn't expect it out of Charles. Thank you for the compliment C@ntus. To settle everyone minds, and to make sure that Charles gets put out without getting too wet, I have watched the Simpsons and I have laughed during each one I've watched.
Valura, a lifesize dancing Homer? Does he do the East Coast Swing? I like a man that can do the swing.

Not water...it makes me melt... (must be too much aloo gobi)
and AHA...my plan to draw out Gidg into admitting she did like the Simpsons worked, in only one post from me...
But I'm now intrigued about this life-size dancing homer...can we have a pic please Valura (and not one foudn on the net, a real pic, with your living room in the background).

You are such a kick! I watched Knight Rider in my teens. It had everything I wanted, a car that talked and a good looking guy. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Valura! That was just cruel!
And I saw a dancing Homer in Gosford. He was done up like Santa. Everytime you moved it would start him off. They finally asked me to leave the store, lol.
