i have no clue what is going but i wanted to add to it anyway

Honestly, if we stop to ask what's going on, the whole universe as we know it falls apart pretty quickly.

Unless I’m much mistaken, Verhoeven didn’t write any of these.

XXX Peaks, I've seen it on HBO late at night

I’ve seen a lot of things late at night, too. It’s part of why I never felt the need to take up drinking - others had clearly already done the work for me.

I have to drink quite a lot just to get through the day at work, some of my passengers get really upset about it

I wish there was a physical media collection with all of the "non canon" Simpsons episodes. With all "canon" framing devices removed whenever possible. Basically, this collection would highlight that at this point, these characters are more like a troupe without a set story.

Heck, I wish they explored them outside their "normal" status way more often. At least if they plan on continuing further into the future. There is only so much new ground to cover in their current contemporary setting. Leave new stories in this setting as a rare treat. And maybe also new stories explicitly set in the early nineties.
