As mind expanding drugs, marijuana and alcohol are dead ends.

He innocently tells Marge he kept them only for the articles, and she decides to make sure by cutting out all the nudes from the magazines. Now that they are useless, Homer throws them away (angrily saying "What man would want you now?"), but they are discovered by Bart and Milhouse. They read the articles and are greatly inspired. Using these 70s-era magazines as a model, Bart decides to renovate the Treehouse into a sort of Playboy Mansion replica, replete with James Caan.</I> <BR/><BR/>The best line? Bart, wearing a velvet bathrobe, says to Nelson, "Your debonair wit reminds me of a young Mort Sahl." He then turns to Milhouse and says, "I have no idea what that means."Peter Hohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916196998855947137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48976655463525095582009-01-25T13:07:00.000-06:002009-01-25T13:07:00.000-06:00I just want to say, if your nipples get to be as b...I just want to say, if your nipples get to be as big as cupcakes, go see a doctor.

OK, goes something like this:<BR/><BR/>I grab the nearest chair and begin striking ridiculously provocative poses while claiming my list of favorite things are girlishly innocuously tenderly sweet, "I like my stuffed animal collection, kittens, walking hand-in-hand through the park, watching T.V. under a blanket with bowl of freshly popped pop corn." Continuously reposing as if for a camera, "I'm studying pre-med because I've always wanted to help people, but I'm thinking of a second degree in law." Then on my back with my legs spread in the air, "My favorite authors are Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Leo Tolstoy, Margaret Mitchell, and Umberto Eco." Then I spin around and strike a natural pose and smile coyly and flirtingly at various angles for the camera.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.com
