  It was often quite frustrating to watch Villeneuve because he would go out of the race so often. Most of the time it was mechanical: clutch torn to shreds, engine leaking oil all over the place, transmission gears stripped smooth, etc. These really are never blamed on the driver, but I'm sure Gilles' racing style had a lot to do with his horrible mechanical breakdown rates. I could remember watching many of his races and then a Homer Simpsonian "DOHP!!" would come out of my mouth, "his #$#*% car broke down again!". And that was the end of his race.

  Spoken in the true Homer Simpsonian fashion. Ya know Mike, I think you watch too much TV. You're always on top all all these quirkie factiods of American Pop culture....maybe you should read a book or something.

  I once had to drink from my cloudy plastic canteen of (stupid me) Apple juice. This was not in the USA. I suppose it looked a bit like gasoline. (A big Homer Simpsonian "Doh!")

  And to touch on another thread which re-appeared with monotonous regularity, that is why conventional planning wisdom about six month income emergency funds of cash-like investments is so mindbogglingly assinnine. It is advocated by narrow-minded, dim-witted non-thinkers trapped in some sort of dark-ages mentality, who constantly are bandaging up the bruises on their foreheads having bumped into the _same_ tree on repeated occasions in some sort of Homer Simpsonian dream state. The results of such recommendations have done irreparable damage to all those who have listened, and continue to do so.

  Describing O'Dell as smart or stupid is a bit like discussing the screen refresh rate of your printer. Jeff lacks the imagination to be crazy, so he settles for Homer Simpsonian stupidity instead.

  Please, have a nice sit on the rug in front of the fire. If it's too warm (15 degrees celsius is around 60 degrees fahrenheit as we've learned recently on the education station that is a.m.m-f) you are more than welcome to pull the rug over to the fridge and open the door for a bit in a Homer Simpsonian[1] way. [...]

  [1] Remember that one where Homer put a sheet over the fridge and sat under the cool tentness it provided? Of course you do.

  And yes, San Jose fans don't cry either.. I've noticed San Jose fans have taken a "Homer Simpsonian" approach to their team: Aim low and avoid disappointment.

  Someone once told me, that if you've used a remote control, you've experienced hypertext. I suppose this is true, especially if there's also a newspaper draped across your shorts and you're reading the back of a bag of chips. But this is a rather extreme, decadent, and Homer Simpsonian definition.

  One of its characters, a prisoner named Lizzie Birdsworth, has the habit of making a certain exclamation which, I assume, meaning-wise (or pragmatically) corresponds fairly well to the Homer Simpsonian "Duh!".

  Actually I´m a bit worried that you might be able to take a more longview approach and not race yourself silly during the next six months; the idea of yet another rec.runner going sub-three, in London or in Rotterdam for instance, before I´ll be even close to making an attempt, should perhaps motivate me but at the moment it seems like it would only generate a Homer Simpsonian resignation...

  Mr bar tender, please pass young Hans here one of your excellent steins of Augsburgian beer (the very thought brings on a Homer Simpsonian 'hmmmmm')

  At which point there will be a huge Homer Simpsonian 'Duh' posted on the Internet. Okay, you might need to know the Korean for 'Duh' and all other multi-lingual 'Duhs', but it would be a duhcided improvement.
