Of all the episodes I've seen, i just saw a rerun that give the origins of Waylon Smithers gayness.

anyone ever see this?

I assume you are talking about the episode where Homer is constantly shrieking because a repressed memory revealed by a hypnotist?  Homer finds the corpse of Smithers Sr. who died preventing nuclear accident but Burns tells Smithers Jr. otherwise.

Smithers: I'm glad to know he died a hero, instead of...that other way.

Burns: I told Smithers his father was killed by a tribe of savage women.  I hope it didn't affect you in any way.

Smithers: We'll never know.

Bing bing.

Winner.

The old ones are so much better then the new ones.
I can't even tolerate the new ones.

Can only hope the movie will bring back the old writers.  Or certainly not the current crop.

How funny all 3 of us were watching the Simpsons at the same time last night.

How nice is it for Smithers to take his dad (Burns) to see a hypnotist........BEFORE HE DIES!
