But this is the FIRST mention today!

So who gets shot in the thigh, we can start a pool.

Awwww....I remember when I accidentally joined the army.....when they found out those weren't actual rocket launchers on my chest, they kicked me out.
(It took 4 Generals, 3 Colonels, a Seargent and the entire motor pool to thoroughly "inspect" me first.)

My money is on Apu, mistaken for a terrorist.

Maggie will shoot Jack Bauer.

I love how "The White Stripes" play as a group, when we all know it's just one guy and a big joke he's perpetrating on whomever will listen.

Why make something good bad? A Simpsons' Movie. My heart is saddened.

I, for one, would like to read "the Original Steve"'s version of this Simpson's episode!
Whaddaya think, Steve?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 26, 2006 at 12:49 PM
PnknP, clearly, we need to find out when this Simpsons episode will air and live-blog the hell out of it.
Posted by: Lairbo | July 26, 2006 at 01:02 PM
Olo B - it's Jack White and his ex-wife Meg White. Aren't 2 people enough to be a "group"?
Posted by: Guin | July 26, 2006 at 01:06 PM
Olo: Don't hate Jack because he's a genius.
Posted by: Ann | July 26, 2006 at 01:07 PM
Not when there are so many good reasons to hate Jack. *bandages thigh*
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 26, 2006 at 01:23 PM
White Stripes are two people, and a very good band.
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | July 26, 2006 at 01:27 PM
sorry, wrong Jack. A little slow today.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 26, 2006 at 01:27 PM
White Stripes playing Seven Nation Army....Jack....Simpsons.....
maybe I will watch....maybe

Ok, Ok, I'm not a hater, but I don't buy their act. I've seen Jack W in the music press for years, and didn't ever hear him on the radio. Got my XM six months ago, and listened to him a lot. Now I know why he's never on regular radio. There's some interesting stuff going on once in a while, but it's mostly a lot of simple noise, really bizarre vocals, and (almost) elementary school drums--which is why I don't count Meg. :-) :-)

I thought the white stripes were brother and sister.
Posted by: Bobbi | July 26, 2006 at 01:42 PM
Jack White did some stuff for the movie Cold Mountain. I did like that music. He's a little different, though.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 26, 2006 at 01:51 PM
I might be wrong on a detail or two, but as I have been told Jack White had his girlfriend play drums for him once. She had never played drums before, ever. Apparently it was exactly the sound he wanted, and he wouldn't let her practice or take lessons. They eventually married, and now they're not, which must be kinda wierd.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | July 26, 2006 at 02:17 PM
My favorite thigh shooter and my 2nd favorite rock band in one season. YES LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | July 26, 2006 at 02:31 PM
Olo: Have you ever heard "In the Cold, Cold Night?" Meg is necessary and underrated.
Plus, have you heard what they do put on the radio?
Bobbi: Jack and Meg are weird. They told everyone they were sibs but supposedly they are really ex-spouses (and he apparently took her last name). I don't think anybody really knows for sure.
Posted by: Ann | July 26, 2006 at 04:01 PM
They are definitely ex-spouses, not bro/sis. However, Jack's last name was something else and he changed it hers (White), and kept it after they divorced.
Posted by: Guin | July 26, 2006 at 05:04 PM
Re: the explanation about the girlfriend who had never played the drums: that explains a LOT! It all makes sense now.
Posted by: Tanpopo | July 26, 2006 at 06:37 PM
I've heard lots of their stuff (except Cold Mountain) and I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. :-)
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | July 27, 2006 at 09:23 AM
I'm sorry. All I can think about is that Bart in reality would be about 30 years old now. That makes me VERY OLD!
Posted by: ahh Clem | July 27, 2006 at 12:53 PM
please liveblog it when it airs :D
Posted by: jeremy | July 27, 2006 at 01:01 PM
Oooh, liveblogging this Simpsons ep would be so much fun! Let's plan on it! Can't ya hear Sutherland's colonel: "Simpson! Drop and give me twenty NOW!!!!" Har!
BTW, perhaps the tune hasn't gotten beyond Sirius and XM, but...it may just be that the White Stripes are no more. Jack White has now turned up a number of times in this nifty little band called the Raconteurs, which is a real, live, honest-to-goodness four-piece rock band. The aforementioned tune is called "Steady As She Goes". I give it a 70, Dick, 'cuz I can dance to it ;)
Not sure what happened to Meg--mayhaps she was shot in the thigh and left in a barn in LA? Maybe she just couldn't stand to be on the same stage with a guy who wears such ugly red-plaid pants on a regular basis? Not sure...
