Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

The Boss reminded me of the time maybe a dozen years ago when we were getting rid of a boxspring. Offered it up free on kijiji and a sketchy guy in an even sketchier rape van pulled up. I helped him load the boxspring in there while the Boss watched, ready to call 911 if I got bonked on the head and thrown in the back. However, there was no offer of candy and I emerged from the encounter still chaste.

And the name of that man who took your box spring? Neil Young.

Is that the only appearance of Milhouse's grandmother?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Weird Milhouse's grandfather showed up a few times.

Grandma Flanders even got a couple appearances.

Around the same time that the show began its mercilessly long decline. A rock star born the same year and suffered the 27 Club curse would have died around now.

Yeah, there are a few skits/songs from more then-contemporary episodes - tho still better ones, generally - but Homer just said "marge, it takes two to lie: one to lie and one to listen" and I'm choking laughing here at my desk.
