Everyday Speech

[on:]

Is it me, or does everyone say most phrases out of The Simpsons/ Futurama at least 5 times a day, even when there is nobody else around who knows what you are talking about?
and do these people get strange looks from everyone else?

[Reply #1 on:]

Not really, but I think "doh" has become part of our culture, everyone uses it and nobody seems to notice.

[Reply #2 on:]

yeah i know loads of people who have accepted futurama/simpsons catchphrases as normal slang

[Reply #3 on:]

Silence! I have no strong feelings one way or the other on this matter.

[Reply #4 on:]

i didn't ask you! so u silence!

[Reply #5 on:]

doh!.... I don't really say futurama/simpsons catch phrases.... other then doh

[Reply #6 on:]

well i sometimes do...but mostly for quotes or if it really fits the situation... 

[Reply #7 on:]

I sometimes use quotes from futurama/simpsons.None of my friends watch those shows so they give me weird looks when I do.

[Reply #8 on:]

[Reply #9 on:]

Yeah.Where I used to live all of my friends watched futurama and the simpsons so I didn't get weird looks from them.Here all my friends just stare at me when I say someting from futurama/simpsons.

[Reply #11 on:]

[Reply #12 on:]

I moved sometime in June.Now I'm in Mississippi.I hate it here.

[Reply #13 on:]

gee i feel really sorry for ya...where did u used to live?

[Reply #14 on:]

Georgia.When I lived in Georgia I went to Atlanta atleast once a month and went to the big mall in downtown.Here there's nothing like that and Jackson is really small compared to Atlanta.

[Reply #15 on:]

Atlanta...with its coca cola botting plant and the airport...interesting...do u think it has a gold statue yet? 

[Reply #16 on:]

Nah, it doesn't have a gold statue yet.For all the years I lived in Georgia I never got to go to the coca-cola museum but I have been to the airport several times.And I've seen that restauraunt that looks kinda like a U.F.O.I haven't been there though.

[Reply #17 on:]

ah i see...what do u think of the braves?

[Reply #18 on:]

They're okay I guess.I don't pay all that much attention to sports.

[Reply #19 on:]

yeah me neither...cuz the ca angels suck really bad and i don't know about the other teams but the angels are pretty lousy...

Well, if Atlanta moved offshore and eventually sunk, I guess there would be a small notice in the newspapers... because of all the cancelled flights, of course.
So I guess the magician is still hanging around.

Starbug,

I'm in Mississippi too!  I'm in Starkville--I go to MSU.  Ha, you think there's nothing to do in Jackson!  You should try staying here for a week or two...insert crickets chirping here.(whoa, that doesn't sound right)

Anyway, there's a pretty good following for Futurama here, being a college town and all.  There's more usage of the Simpsons vernacular at this point, though.  There are lots of the ever popular d'oh's being through around.  I even over heard someone say: "you couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of the year if you had an electrified fooling machine."--That's one of my favs. from the Simpsons.

Well, I just found this site--it's awesome.  I came here looking for info on when the new episodes were going to start.  I'm sick of pro football hindering my enjoyment of Futurama!  Maybe we should petition for a better time slot.

Starkville?I've never heard of that town before.

[Reply #27 on:]

Starbug,

It's about 2 hours northeast of Jackson.  It's the location of Mississippi State University.  It only has about 25,000 people, 40,000 with the university students.  It's a nice place, but notoriously short of night life--hence the nickname: Stark Vegas.  Ask around in Jackson, everyone'll know about Starkville.
