E: ^^^^^^ aren't Homer and Marge supposed to be late 30s?

That's definitely a timeline you don't want to start thinking about. Pretty sure originally Marge got knocked up just a couple years out of high school. Considering Bart is 10, that would make Homer a really rough ~30.

I recognized the name Mission Hill and vaguely remembered that I'd seen it on Adult Swim twelve years ago. It took me an additional minute before I was able to separate it from The Oblongs in my memory. That's my Mission Hill story, god bless ~

I was pretty sure Homer and Marge's canonical age is 36

which is kind of rough because I'm getting uncomfortably close to the same age as Homer Simpson

iirc they raised their age at some point past the golden years, likely because the writers at the time were feeling exactly what you're feeling

The carny episode kind of pulls back the curtain on that one when the age/weight-guesser guy thinks Homer is way older and fatter than his canonical stats

I liked Mission Hill but I haven't watched it since it was relatively current - it used to air back to back with Clone High and Undergrads in Canada, and I was like the only one of my friends who preferred Mission Hill of the three (Clone High was ok but it was a bit overrwrought imo, and aside from a few good gags Undergrads is sappy trash which I'm sure really hasn't aged well.)

I often think about the scene where the one guy gets a job working in a slaughterhouse and buddy hands him a sledgehammer and brings in a cow. I remember basically nothing else about the show.

E. Also my brother in law is 37 and looks exactly like a real world Homer Simpson would look. No I'm not going to dox him. He has also lost some weight.

I felt soooo :corsair: when I hit 36. Didn't help that my dad was married & just had me at that age.

Now I'm hoping I can make it to Abraham Simpson's age before the world ends.

In a later episode (when Homer was taking all the Reader Digest quizes) Homer was middle age at 38. So Homer is basically always late 30 and will soon start having a young childhood them goons.

Fueled by Satan

This has nothing to do with anything but years ago at work I made a test license for some restaurant POS software we support and called it Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag, and since making that somehow other people have gotten ahold of the license and have used it for testing stuff at their own stations so I see it pop up outside of my lab from time to time and it makes me smile. If the menus in the system carried across licenses I'd program in stuff like Spaghetti and Moe-Balls or Flash-Fried Buffalo but they don't so :effort:

This is basically me with the principal handing the older brother a folded sticky note that says "douchebag" in really nice script, and the guy laughing out loud in her office. I remember very little else besides some of the voices, but I will still insist I liked the show because of that scene. It's from literally the first episode.


Holy poo poo. I'm enjoying 2 spaghetti meals a lot, but this loving floored me. Wow.

At the end of Treehouse of Horror II, Lisa tells Homer that her class is hosting an "All-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner." Maybe that's what you're remembering?

Homer is canonically always 39 and Marge is 36. When they met in high school, he was a senior and she was I guess a sophomore. They clearly both hung around Springfield for like 10 years as a couple, probably doing the on and off relationship thing that most long term high school couples do, before Marge got pregnant. Homer worked at the mini-golf place, Marge was a carhop, they lived in an apartment in Springfield's lower east side, etc.
