You know the Simpsons are on way too often when...

[eruvadhril]

You can say exactly how long it was since a particular episode was on. Viz: The episode that was on tonight, the halloween one with "The Raven" in it. They should have done the whole poem so that it actually made sense. I mean, it doesn't really make sense to me anyway, but it makes more sense with the whole poem than just a few verses.

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or
devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore-
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked,
upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Now, if they'd put that first verse in, we'd know why he suddenly went postal. Oh well, dinner time, bye.
