Defamer Immortalized In Cartoon-Form By 'The Simpsons!' Sort Of! OK, Not At All!
We're loath to admit we've fallen behind on new episodes of The Simpsons, so we're extremely grateful to the reader who pointed the following out to us: On Sunday's show, after a fairly hilarious sequence in which Homer engages in an illicit affair with a gyro cone (which, for $4300, could basically give you all the unsafe satisfaction you could handle), the portly paterfamilias then puts a happy ending on his marathon session of rotisserie lovemaking with a trip to Pudding on the Ritz. His order? "One Butterscotch Stallion."
While it failed to evoke its majestic, sandy-maned namesake in anything but the most literal terms, the mention still gave us an ever-so-tiny taste of what it must feel like to make the leap from our blandly live-action coil into the glorious, bug-eyed bliss of the animated Springfield universe.
