Poll question: OKAY Who REALLY started the blackout?
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 01:04 PM by underpants
There are now reports (probably out of Michigan) that it may have started in Ohio and since the "Behind the Laughter" (EDIT)episode told us that the Simpsons are a "Norhtern Kentucky" (read:Ohio) family that narrows it down a bit.

1. Lenny and Carl in retaliation for ..
not having the right to marry. I loved that Behind the Laughter episode. But tell me, who was Frank Grimes?

4. Frank Grimes
An orphan who worked his way through coolege to become a nuclear physicist. He lived above and below bowling alleys. He was the antithesis of Homer-hardworking, educated, self made.

Homer invites him over for dinner and Frank can't believe that of all people Homer has a "mansion" "a beautiful family" and they are having lobster for dinner. When asked how he can afford it Homer says,"I dunno don't ask me how the economy works".

Frank sees the pictures of Homer's adventures, "You were an astronaut?!?!You were in SAPCE?!!?!?"

Homer"Haven't you been"

Frank dies while impersonating Homer's careless sloppy ways and at the funeral Homer falls asleep "That's our Homer"

2. Gray Davis
Hate to say it. It was clearly orchestrated by Davis so he could say,

"At least in California I warned you before the electricity went out!"

5. I would say
Iraq. That would be justice... as they have been suffering for weeks with power problems.

Hoever...

It could be Bushco. Not sure how it helps him yet though and his drunken press conference leads me to beleive he didn't know. Or they would have telepromted him.

There are certainly bound to be hundreds of theories spawning off this one especially since no one has any answers yet.

9. "Grimey, as he liked to be called,
caused a massive blackout after refusing to wear safety gloves, because he's Homer Simp..."

Either that, or Homer (aka Max Power) was tending to his fondue pot on his control panel.

17. Dude, -
Remember the story I told you about my brothers and the tuba fart...?

Yours, -however impressive it may be, - would not be the first that comes to mind as causing a blackout of the eastern seaboard.
