“All work and moe play makes moe a moe moe.”

From: The Simpsons

Genre: Cartoons, Television

Who said it?: Marge Simpson

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from one of the episodes of The Simpsons. As one of the longest running shows ever (and since I’ve already used a lot of Simpsons quotes in the past), this show needs no introduction anymore.

The quote comes from the episode entitled “Flaming Moe,” which is the 10th episode of the 3rd season. In the episode, Moe’s bar is going out of business and, to help his friend out, Homer Simpson tells him how to make a drink by cobbling together old liquor but, by adding cough syrup and setting it on fire, the resulting drink will be spectacular. Moe then starts selling the drink and claiming he invented it, now calling it the Flaming Moe. Homer becomes obsessed that Moe won’t give him any credit, to the point where he sees and hears Moe wherever he is. This leads to Homer imagining Marge Simpson delivering the quote.

Geek wisdom: Getting obsessed with a certain topic is not healthy. You do have to get some things out of your system or else you will go crazy just like how Homer did.

“Sorry, mom. The mob has spoken.”

From: The Simpsons

Genre: Cartoons, Television

Who said it?: Bart Simpson

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from one of the episodes of The Simpsons. As one of the longest running shows ever (and since I’ve already used a lot of Simpsons quotes in the past), this show needs no introduction anymore.

The quote comes from 4th season episode entitled “Marge vs. The Monorail.” When the town of Springfield suddenly becomes flush with cash, the town holds a meeting in order to decide how to use the money. While there are suggestions on how to use the money to improve Springfield, a quick talking shyster named Lyle Lanley persuades everyone to use the funds to buy a slick monorail. During the end of the song number, Marge Simpson laments that main street is still full of potholes. However, her son, Bart Simpson, slyly remarks that the town has already made the ill-fated decision to go build the monorail.

Geek wisdom: Sometimes, the most popular decision is not the correct one. There are going to be times when the most prudent choice might be unpopular but, ultimately, still the right one. So always keep an open mind to other thoughts and ideas.
