Writer's Block: You Wouldn't Understand

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Most often, it's a Simpsons quote of some sort that no one gets but me, maybe Chris and usually Doug. I can generally quench the strange looks I get from saying something incredibly off the wall or just plain stupid by simply saying, "Simpsons quote".

Although, I've had to explain deadlicious to a few people, I haven't used it often enough (shame on me) to say I've used it "most often".

And for those wondering. . .

Deadlicious: Something that is delicious but deadly, like biscuits and gravy, lead paint* or anything from Hardee's/Carl's Jr. Thank you to the Lord of the Nethers himself, Michael Cook, for this little gem.

Now, go forth and spread the word deadlicious like butter over bacon!




*Simpsons reference: One of Troy McClure's educational films, "Lead paint: delicious but deadly." No, I've never eaten nor do I recommend the consumption of lead paint.

Also, "Lead paint: delicious but deadly" reminds me of that skit from (I think) Kentucky Fried Movie: "Zinc And You!"

I saw Kentucky Fried Movie so long ago and only half paid attention, so I don't remember any of it. BUT. . .

On the Simpsons ("Bart the Lover"), they watch a filmstrip at school about zinc:
Jimmy: Hey, what gives?
Jimmy's Dad: You said you wanted to live in a world without zinc Jimmy. Well now your car has no battery.
Jimmy: But I promised Betty I'd pick her up by 6:00. I better give her a call.
Jimmy's Dad: Sorry Jimmy. Without zinc for the rotary mechanism, there are no telephones.
Jimmy: Dear God! What have I done?
(Jimmy pulls out a gun and points it to his head and fires)
Jimmy's Dad: Think again Jimmy. You see the firing pin in your gun was made out of…yep…zinc.
Jimmy: Come back zinc, Come Back!!
