I’ve been down on the newer Simpsons for a while, but I caught most of last night’s and thought it was pretty good. Best part (and I’m quoting from memory) is when Lisa convinces Homer to run for Mayor. She says “And I’ll be your campaign manager!” In response, Homer declares — as if on an important mission — “…and I will find out what a mayor does!” He then grabs a bottle of Duff beer from a six pack and snaps at the bottle: “Expand my brain, Thinking Juice.”

My wife — who is horribly addicted to that Soduko game — laughed and looked up from the page to say “I can’t believe you’ve never used that line.”

I had to explain this wasn’t a rerun. “Ah,” she replied, confident that “Expand my brain, thinking juice!” will be accompanying the sound of beer being opened in the Goldberg house for many years to come.
