I worked in a deli the first summer the series was out, and it seemed like every other customer who came into the place was wearing one.

One of my favorite Simpsons exchanges:
Bart: Nothing you say can upset us, we're the MTV generation. Lisa: We feel neither highs nor lows. Homer: Really, what's it like? Lisa (shrugs): Meh...

From early in the series:
Moe: Hey Barney watch the bar for me. Wait on second thought, Homer watch the bar for me.
Barney: What kind of hopeless alcoholic do you think I am? Oh someone spilt some beer in this ashtray. Slurp!

Even better than Simpsons quotes are Flintstones quotes!
I love it when Wilma sings:
Make your hobby hubby, Keep your hubby happy. When he's a little chubby, He's a happy pappy, With Rockenshpeel!
I've adapted it for singing to my dog: Make your Hyvvie happy, Keep your Hyvvie happy. When he's a little chubby, He's a happy puppy! He's Hyfrydol!

In the Flintstones cartoons produced in the late '70s, the last line was changed to "great old time".

That's the 70s for you in a nutshell, the establishment trying to hold back the free-spiritedness of the 60s.

The early '70s version was "We'll have a groovy time."

My favorite thing about The Flintstones is the Don Byron CD that's named after a Beatles pastiche in one of the episodes.

"An emerald is as green as grass, A ruby red as blood; A sapphire shines as blue as heaven; A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world's desire; An opal holds a fiery spark; But a flint holds a fire."
- Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), "The Flint"

I love Christina Rossetti! She wrote my all-time favorite Christmas carol, "In the Bleak Midwinter". She now even has a feast day on the calendar of the Episcopal Church.

Rocky: I love Christina Rossetti! She wrote my all-time favorite Christmas carol, "In the Bleak Midwinter". She now even has a feast day on the calendar of the Episcopal Church. TBH, I've known of that poem forever. Since First Grade, at least. But it was only while searching for it last night that I recalled the writer's name. I mis-remembered the last "a" as "only," too.

That's okay. It's a lovely poem by one of my favorite poets.
I don't read much poetry any more, but I used to read it all the time. I did my senior paper on Alfred, Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam.

not a poetry fan. But Tennyson's Lady of Shallott made a great song by Loreena McKennitt.
