Description: Homer leads an Evergreen Terrace rummage sale, but is upstaged when former President George Bush Sr. and his wife Barbara move in to a home across the street from the Simpsons. Bart makes regular trips to the house, becoming a nuisance to George who immediately dislikes him. Bart accidentally destroys Bush's typed memoirs, and as a punishment he spanks him, prompting Homer to confront his new neighbor. Both men vow trouble for each other. Homer launches bottle rockets at his house and glues a rainbow wig into George's head. He responds with a banner on his house showing the Simpsons as bad neighbors and doing doughnuts on their lawn. The war ends when Homer and Bart unleash locusts. Realizing the neighborhood is bringing out the worst in George, they move out.

Homer: Hey! I never noticed this place.
Bart: Dad, it's right across the street from us! That fancy house'll never sell. Nobody who could afford it would want to live in this neighborhood.
Homer: Hey, what's wrong with this neighborhood? [at the house] Big shot! Too good to buy a house here, snobby?
Bart: Who are you talking to, Homer?
Homer: The guy who doesn't live there.

Bart: Wow, a former president living right across the street.
Homer: Oh, why did he have to move in on MY territory? Look at him. Thinks just because he led the free world, he can act like a big shot! Stupid President... why couldn't he just stay in his own state?

Homer: He SPANKED you? YOU? Bart Simpson?
Bart: I begged him to stop, but he said it was for the good of the nation.
Abe: Big deal! When I was a pup, we got spanked by Presidents till the cows came home. Grover Cleveland spanked me on two nonconsecutive occasions.
Marge: Grampa, I know in your day, spanking was common, but Homer and I just don't believe in that kind of punishment.
Abe: And that's why your no-good kids are running wild!
[points at Lisa, reading quietly]

"hey, disco stu doesn't advertise"

George Bush: Well lets see now. What do you folks have here, huh? Hmmm.. a "Krusty Burger"... that doesn't sound to appetizing, what kinda stew do you have today?
Pimple Kid: Uuuh... we don't have stew.
(Homer honks his horn continuously)
Ray: Sir why don't you just have the Cheeseburger?
George Bush: That's really more of a weekend thing, Ray.
Homer: (still honking) Hey, jerk, move your fany!
George Bush: That guy's louder than World War 2, Ray go and see what the rhubarb is will ya?
Ray: Sir could you pop your hood?
(loosens some wires making his horn stop working)



Abe: Big deal! When I was a pup we got spanked by Presidents 'til the cows came home. Grover Cleveland spanked me on two non - consecutive occasions.
Marge: Grampa, I know in your day spanking was common, but Homer and I just don't believe in that kind of punishment!
Abe: And that's why your no-good kids are running wild! (points at Lisa, sitting, reading a book).

I recently watched an extra on one of the DVD sets (Season 4, I think) that talks about the show's on-going feud/relationship w/ the Bush family (and Barbara in particular). Interesting stuff.

Wow, people actually PAY ATTENTION to my Simpsons threads!

Bush: Alright mister... you want trouble, you're gonna get trouble?
Homer: Oh I want trouble all right.
Bush: Then you're gonna get trouble.
Homer: No, YOU'RE gonna get trouble.
Bush: Oh that's good, that's good because I want trouble.
Homer: Then we're agreed; they'll be trouble.
Bush: Oh yeah, lots of trouble.
Homer: Trouble it is.
Bush: For YOU!!!
Homer: For...... D'oh!

Marge: Are you interesting in that motorized tie rack, Principal
Skinner?
Skinner: Hmm. It's awfully loud.
Marge: Well, you can always take the motor out and use it as an
ordinary tie rack.
Skinner: But now the ties are motionless, and those in back are
virtually inaccessible. Well, it's a moot point, as I have
only one tie to begin with. I believe I'll pass.

Skinner: Have you sold that tie rack yet?
Marge: No.
Skinner: I'll take it.

Homer: And, for the man who has everything, a tie rack motor!
Skinner: I'll take that.

Alright, for whatever reason, I've been slacking on these. I don't have work or school tomorrow, so I'm going to go through and respond to all of the eps I haven't made comments on yet.

Good.... I should have a new episode up sometime tomorrow.

And in this episode, the world met the loveable:

Disco Stu.
Table 5! Table 5! (to the theme of "Stayin' Alive)

For whatever reason, me and my one friend always repeat this Gerald Ford bit:

"Do you like football? Do you like nachos? Well why don't you come over and watch the game and we'll have nachos, and then some beer."

I have no idea why...but it fucking cracks us up.
