"He went from Stinkin' Rich, to just plain Stinkin.'"
-Marge Simpson when interviewed about 's death

" 's funeral was held. We were the only ones who went. More out of a desire to make sure he really was dead. If anyone had a right to be there if was Smithers, but he couldn't. He was in prison. At Smithers's request, Burns's teddy bear Bobo was buried with him, his body positioned as if he was cradling it.I thought I saw Dad hiding behind a tree. He ran off when I chased after him. It's a shame. He doesn't know his name was cleared by the Stonecutters. There was no reason for him to run. As soon as we were in the car, we all sighed in relief. We took no pride in his death. Mom made one joke which we all thought was funny even if it was a little mean spirited.

The question of who got Burns's stuff was also thrown in the air. The Dome had come down so really that was all that was left. His heir Larry Burns was unable to be found. Smithers was also on that list but couldn't claim it, that left his chosen third heir.

"Bart Simpson."

"Yeah Burns seemed to hate all his own family seeing as he left them all out and forgot to update his will. So yeah. I was still Burns's heir. It felty kinda dirty after all he did, but also kinda awesome. So yeah, I was filthy stinkin' rich, well I mean I was already a TV star, and an animator.

Well I was about to get even more famous than the time everyone was doing the Bart Man.

There was a Radioactive Man movie coming to town. The first Radioactive Man Movie without Troy McClure. This would be the fourth film. The first few were Radioactive Man, Radioactive Man II: Bring on the Sequel, and Radioactive Man III: Oh God, Not Again. Whether or not the series would continue without Troy wasn't our concern at the time. We were just happy for the once in a lifetime chance to be in it. We weren't even sure of the title. Thought it was Radioactive Man Forever or something. Either way they were introducing Fallout Boy, and there were looking for kids to play him. I was pretty famous and my acting experience helped make me a top choice, yet they decided to go with Milhouse because he looked more like the character already. Milhouse actually wasn't that comfortable in the role, the pressure really got to him. The studio brought in Mickey Rooney to talk to him, but that didn't help, and he quit. They then chose me. I had a lot of credentials from "My Funny Family", now renamed the Simpsons, and my "I didn't do it Stardom ". I also revealed to the directors that I had psychic powers because of well...

"MAN CLAIMING TO BE FROM RADIOACTIVE MAN ESCAPES SPRINGFiELD POLICE STATION."
-Springfield Shopper.

"Oh yeah. Dr. Colossos. The guy claimed to be the actual from the Radioactive Man Comics, and when he heard they were making a movie about his archenemy, well he was pissed. He escaped from the Springfield Police Station, apparently he claimed to be disoriented from traveling between universes, but he finally got out. See, they came to Springfield to film at the old Power Plant. They had one scene where Radioactive Man was tied up and Fallout Boy had to save him. The film's main villain, " was played by Krusty the Clown. Krusty also played Silly the Sailor, 's twin brother. He also played Angry the Clown, which was just a henchman with a mask. So Krusty was in the scene, but Milhouse wasn't there yet. They were looking for him. Of course they weren't expecting to shoot without Milhouse, but then the dam exploded. had planted a bomb and the flood started. Wolfcastle was carried away. We could hear him shout. "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" As he was dragged away by acid colored flavor aid.

That was the first cast of malice of against the film crew. I was the second choice after Milhouse quit. Like I said I was popular, I'd worked with Krusty before, and I revealed that I had sidekick powers. They thought if I had that I'd be able to catch somehow. The directors were actually planning to shut down production but at President Clinton's insistence, the production kept going. He gave a speech about how America wouldn't give in to the demands of Super-Terrorists like Burns, Scorpio and . So the production was on and I was now on my way to living every kid's dream.

-Do the Bart Man: The unauthorized biography of Bart Simpson

Mom was stressed out, she was taking care of four kids on her own, her husband was a fugitive and the stress of trying to solve a murder finally got to her. She decided to take a day off and go to the Spa. Grampa was still staying with us. I legally owned the oil Burns had stolen, so I ended construction and gave the oil back to the school. Tito Puente got his nice teaching job after all and everyone started to have their dreams, but it would take time to rebuild Moe's Tavern and the retirement castle. Mom didn't trust Grampa. She asked Laura Powers to babysit but she was busy and couldn't babysit us for a few days. Instead we went to stay with the Flanders clan. Something Dad would ever have accepted had he been there. made amazing hot cocoa. He put everything on it. Still the family was super religious, so there wasn't much entertainment to have that wasn't religious. Flanders freaked out when he learned we hadn't been baptized. He took us to the lake to be baptized. We all went along with it. I closed my eyes as the water came down."

"Nooooooo!"

I opened my eyes to see Dad tackle me. I got up and hugged him. He had come back. I was really happy to see him. Everyone ran to us. I shouted that he didn't have to run away anymore and that the Stonecutters would help clear his name. Flanders confirmed this. I had tears in my eyes as I asked him not to run away again. We hugged and everyone ran to dad, except for Maggie. She seemed to look between the Flanders clan and us like she was deciding between us. She'd been happy with the Flanders and she started to go towards them. Then mom came up over the hill as the sun was coming down, like she was glowing. Maggie went to her instead. Sadly, Dad needed to stay hidden until the Stonecutters could clear his name. It was still good to have him back even if he had to hide. Turns out he's been hiding at Flaming Moe's the new location Moe had opened up since the original Moe's tavern had been torn down. There, the Stonecutters were keeping an eye on him.

By the way, he was too late, so I was technically baptized by the Flanders. There was no way he could outrun water."

"I got in trouble for replacing the Church opening Hymn with "In the Garden of Eden" by Iron Butterfly. Milhouse and I had to clean the Organ pipes as punishment with Milhouse. We got into an argument about whether or not a soul existed and since I didn't believe in one, I signed a piece of paper saying I gave my soul to Milhouse for 5$. At first I didn't think much of it, but then I started to have weird things happen to me. Automatic Doors didn't open,Itchy and Scratchy wasn't funny. I thought I really did lose my soul. I told Lisa about the deal and talked to Milhouse, but he refused to give it back for anything under 50$. I had a nightmare where everyone was rowing boats to heaven with their souls and I couldn't join them. I woke up screaming. Meanwhile, Moe had decided to open a new family friendly restaurant called Moe's Family Feedbag. We owed him for hiding Dad so we supported him and went there. Lisa said grace and well I don't think she realized what she had said in hindsight, but she made a comment about "saving our mortal soul" and I took that as a jab. I couldn't take it so I ran off to go find Milhouse. Turned out he sold it to Comic Book Guy for alf pigs. Remember Alf? He's back, in pog form. I waited for so long outside the Android's Dungeon, but when I did get to Comic Book Guy, he didn't tell me who he sold it to. It turned out Lisa had went on a quest of her own o get my soul back."

-Do the Bart Man: The unauthorized biography of Bart Simpson

"I felt bad after I mocked Bart by accident, so I went to find Milhouse. He coughed up who he sold the Soul to almost immediately, probably because of his crush on me. Fortunately, unlike Bart, I knew where Comic Book Guy, or should I say, Jeff Albertson lived. He had actually been trying to sell the Alf Pogs by lowering the price but no one took them so he was happy just giving them away. I realized I owed Bart for paying for Bleeding Gum Murphy's last album. Albertson had held onto the "soul" purely because he found the idea amusing, so he was fine parting with it for free, and that's how I saved Bart's soul."

"Oh yeah, the story of how I became a vegetarian. I never considered it before. Then one day, Mom took us to a petting Zoo. They had this cute little lamb. When we next ate lamb I felt bad about eating it. I decided then and there I'd become a vegetarian. Dad and Bart mocked me for it, so did the kids at school. I requested a vegetarian option. Instead Principal Skinner called me an agitator. They weren't going to change the menu. Not when I was about to leave school and was apparently the School's only Vegetarian. They even made me watch a propaganda film with Troy McClure that criticized vegetarians.

Dad was still in hiding, but the Stonecutters decided to hold their own barbecue, members and their families only. Which meant we were invited. Dad felt great being out and about after hiding for so long. Everyone there made fun of me. Dad accidentally flipped a burger onto my face. I lost it. It was an accident but it was too much for me, so I pushed the grill down a hill. The pig tumbled out. Dad and Bart ran after it, hoping it was still good. It was too late to save it. Naturally everyone hated me after that and I got in trouble. The only one to step in to support me was Apu. Apu talked to everyone and said he would handle it. He took me to this beautiful garden. That was where I met Paul and Linda McCartney. They were vegetarians too. Apu had met Paul while he was in India and they had remained friends ever since as Apu's music career took off with the Be Sharps. The conversation I had with them convinced me to stay a vegetarian. Mostly it was Apu and his words.

"I learned long ago Lisa to tolerate others rather than forcing my beliefs on them. You know you can influence people without badgering them always."

"I'm not quite sure how it happened. None of us were. They say lightning stuck the giant Lard Lad figure and brought it to life. At the time we believed was responsible. After all, Lard Lad Donuts had announced their new "Colossal Doughnut" . The Lard Lad Figure came to life, so did other advertising billboards. Most of them couldn't stand up, because they weren't made to stand up and move around. We went into hiding in the basement like it was a Tornado drill. Fortunately the Army was brought in. They're presence had increased in the town since the Burns incident, and they were ready, bombarding the Advertising icons with tanks and planes. Pretty soon they stopped moving. was prime suspect number one. I couldn't help but think there was more going on."

"Don't blame Lard Lad when you truly blame me."

"You are right. I do blame you."

-Conversation translated to English from Rigellian onboard an unidentified ship.

"I had another nightmare about Groundskeeper Willie. Lisa and I had an idea for how to bring him into our universe. We were hoping we could pull him into the dream like in those Nightmare movies. Turns out it worked, but Willie just sort of stopped after we managed to drag him into the real world. He was alive again. Sort of. He had a corpse like body and the Stonecutters quickly moved in to contain and study him. He was basically an undead being, able to talk but not looking human. He was the stuff of nightmares, literally."

"Oh yeah. The Day I lost Dad a second time. Patty and Selma knocked on the door and Dad remembered he was supposed to be hiding from non Stonecutters so he started looking for a place to hide. He found a really good one. It was behind the bookshelf"

"Homer walked forward and felt him self change. His skin was yellow and was simplified in appearance."

"Oh, glory of glories. Oh, heavenly testament to the eternal majesty of God's Creation."

"…Holy macaroni!"

"Where he was was apparently a black area with a green plane. We heard his voice inside the house but couldn't reach him. "

"Homer saw shapes and buildings. He reached a pool with fish that fled when he got near. There was a streetlight but it bore X, Z and pointed up to Y. Homer didn't have any idea where he was but felt like he was wasting a fortune just standing there. Something poked him in the ass He turned to see a cone. He threw it in anger. It landed on the floor and fell through. The floor began to expand like a whirlpool opening up. Homer looked inside and felt his face being pulled inside. He quickly pulled away and began to run.

"Dad described it like the Movie Tron. We called Professor Frink, and he concluded the wall was a rare tear in the Universe that led to the third dimension. That was when he received another surprise visitor. . He burst in and explained his suspicions that his arrival in this universe had opened the tear. We all felt at his mercy as he explained that he intended to return to his own universe and that maybe helping to save Dad would get him back there. Grampda and Jasper showed up. He was intent on saving Homer with an old Diver's suit he found. Drink and Colossos warned against this. I couldn't wait, so without thinking I ran in with a rope tied around my waist."

There I was. I looked at myself. I was freaked out. My skin was yellow and my hair was pointy, but I saw that everything was falling apart into what looked like a big black hole. I saw Dad at the other end stuck between the black hole and the edge.

"I'll save you dad!"

I looked around and saw a street sign bending forward. I climbed on it to reach him.

"I can't get any closer. You'll have to jump!"

Dad looked at me and then down in fear. He then made a face. Tears were in his eyes. He backed up and with a yell of rage, took off running. He jumped. I felt a scream catch in my throat. I thought he was going to fall. Then a hand caught him.

Grampa had caught him.

He'd went in and jumped over the edge.

"Hang on son I got ya."

"…Dad?"

He was surprised to see him.

It was far from a rescue. Both the Simpson men were dangling over the pit by only a rope. Dad seemed sad. He looked at me.

"Dad…"

"Son…"

"Let me go."

"That's quitter talk!"

"I'm weighing both of us down. Only one of us can make it back."

"A Boy needs his father."

"I can't expect you to take off that heavy suit.

The rope snapped and both men screamed as they fell.

Then a hand caught Abe's.

And only Abe's.

He looked down and saw Homer falling, yelling.

"Craaaaapppppp!"

Abe looked up to see holding him. Abe tried to struggle against him.

"Let me go!"

Colossos was suspended in the air by rocket boosts of some kind.

"As you wish."

Colossos released him and he fell with a yell. Bart watched the whole thing.

"Nooo!"

He looked at , who looked back at him.

"So long Fallout Boy. I'm off to kill your hero."

He shot downward with the rocket boots.

His boots turned off and he fell in himself. He turned to look downward into the black hole like rift.

"Hear that. Radioactive Man! I'm coming for you!"

Bart felt himself pulled back and out of the wall. Everyone had worked to pull him out. Marge went to him.

"What happened?"

He only stood there in shock and horror as she asked the question.

"Where's Homer?"
_

Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.

Homer went crashing into a dumpster. It was a miracle that was there and there was nothing that would seriously injure him. He looked at his hands. They were normal. He looked up to see something falling towards him. He panicked and quickly moved out of the dumpster as the heavy diving suit came crashing down. Homer ran to pry the helmet off.

"Dad! Dad!"

Abe looked at him.

"Son! You're back to normal!"

Homer hugged his father through the suit.

Colossos touched down just outside the dumpster.

"This isn't the right dimension at all."

Homer grabbed and began to shake him.

"You! Bring us back you son of a bitch!"

"I can't."

"What ya mean you can't!?"

I'll need time.

Homer glared at him.

"How long?"

pulled out what was clearly a raygun. Homer let out a yell and backed off.

"As much time as I need."
_

Homer had been brought blindfolded to a strange complex. He didn't know where his father had been taken.

"I have a job for you."

He brought him to a control panel like that he used to work at, and gestured. On the monitor was the Springfield Power Plant

"I have rigged the Springfield Power Plant to explode if…"

He lifted a hand and one finger then brought it down to one single button.

"This button isn't pressed once every hour."

"So you want me to keep pushing the button. Why?"

"Honestly for gits and shiggles.

He pointed to Homer.

I have other plans for your father. Only you will remain here.

Homer was now very nervous, then he thought of something.

"What if I just leave?"

You are precisely one hour away by car from anything. This is a remote bomb. We are nowhere near the actual power plant.

"But what will I eat? How will I live?"

"I have this chute here. I'll just dump stuff down it when I have the time."

"Hello. Im Troy McClure. You may remember me from such films as…"
-Common Quote of Troy McClure.

"Oh yeah. McClure. Now before he entered our family, he was our coworker. When Dad disappeared, The Simpsons TV Show faced a huge problem, and they did what they always do when an actor suddenly dies or can't play the role anymore: Replace them with someone else. As it happened that someone else was Troy McClure, who's career had been going downhill for awhile. Homer disappeared mid season production so Troy actually joined in the 138th Episode. The Episode was turned into a huge spectacular. A tribute to Dad. A clip show of his life because we thought we'd never see him again. He also answered fan questions. Someone commented that they thought Homer got dumber every season. It's odd now, looking back and rewatching that episode, knowing Dad would come back."

-Do the Bartman, the Unauthorized Biography of Bart Simpson.

"We went to see the air show being put on. It was a huge amazing invent. Then a certain someone's face came on the big screen.

"Hello. Sorry to divert your attention from all the big noises and shiny things, but something's been bugging me lately…Television. Therefore I've decided to destroy it!"

It was .

The army was went out in force. People panicked and ran. One poor employee was forced to tell the fleeing crowd to stamp their hands for reentry. I was surprised at all the Army personnel. I decided I wanted to be around when the guns went off. Then I hears a Gneerla muttering to a soldier.

"That son of a bitch is probably laughing' at us with his stupid High voice from his hidey hole."

Lisa had come with me. She realized something.

"High voice…His voice isn't usually that high. When he broadcast that message his voice was higher than normal, and what makes your voice higher than normal…helium! He's hiding in the Duff Blimp."

We managed to break inside and that's where we saw him standing over the button about to push it.

"Colossos no!"

We stepped out.

"Don't you see? That would be taking the easy way out."

"I agree."

He looked at the button and then at us.. Finally he sighed.

He pulled out a gun and fired it at us.

We expected to die. Instead we found a bubble wrapped around us.

"Shield your Eyes. Don't worry about radiation, the bubble's material will eat it away."

Then he pressed the button.

We did as he said, covering our eyes with our arms and looking away.

Even though I had my eyes closed. I saw Maggie turn to the sky.

Then there was a loud deafening noise. Even if I could feel the noise muted by the Bubble.
_
Then I was weightless. I opened my eyes. We were falling. Lisa opened her eyes and saw we were approaching the ground. The explosion had deafened us. We were still in free fall, but it was strange was the bubble seemed to be sizzling while slowing down. The bubble slowed and bounced on the ground and finally burned out. We tumbled out. Lisa got up first and ran to me. I lost consciousness when I hit a rock. When I opened my eyes it was still dark.

"Bart! Bart! Are you alright!"

I turned to where I heard her voice, and felt with my mind she was there.

"Lisa…I can't see."

"What!"

I smiled.

"..gotcha."

Lisa punched me in anger.

"Ow."

"Fuck you! We almost died."

"It's how I cope."

"How's that working out for you?"

"It hurts when I laugh."

An explosion had gone off. Someone had nuked the Cleveland Air Show.

-Newpaper Headline.

"There were several ways that could have gone better, but there was also ways it could have gone worse. That was an old bomb. little to radiation. Just a boom and not even a big one. Apparently it was from well before 1959, which was when the fuse went out so to speak. Colossos had tried tampering with it to boost its effects but hadn't brought it up to the standard yield.

Lisa and I both felt this crushing guilt after that. We both contemplated suicide multiple times for years to come. We had to tell ourselves it wasn't our fault. He was going to push the button anyway and we just got lucky. We both wondered why he chose to save us."

I think more than anything Dad's return saved our lives.

Homer forgot just how long he was down there. He'd gain wait. A combination of depression and actually providing more food that you would expect. Of course most fo the time he just dumped piles of food and other stuff down a chute. He weighed about 300 pounds now. He was now wearing a bright muumuu and a hat that had been thrown down there. The few clothes afforded to him. He'd made several efforts to climb up the chute. The only escape he had. He was also extremely bored most of the time. All he had was an old computer and all he had to do was push one button. Some belongings from his house were thrown down. A reminder that if Homer left would kill his family. It terrified him. He was kept in the dark about them, still the things thrown down there were often random things mixed with fast food. He hoped one day something useful would fall out.

And then something did.

It didn't occur immediately to Homer when the pile of things came down the Chute. Then he saw it. The drinking bird. More than an office knick knack. A gift from his late brother. Shortly after that the deliveries stopped coming. Homer took it as a sign. He grabbed the drinking Bird and put it so that it would hit the Y key.

It worked. The Drinking bird kept hitting the Y key. He made sure. He could now escape. He muttered two words to himself.

"Thanks, Herb."

He could now escape. He'd tried to climb up the Chute before. That ended with him falling onto the pile of food and junk. Now he had hope. With that hope he climbed up for what felt like hours. Finally he emerged. His face kissed the sunlight. He was in the woods somewhere. He didn't care. He'd find out later. He basked in the sunlight for a bit, before realizing he couldn't stay still. would arrive there soon to drop a pile of food and junk off. He quickly made his way as far as possible from the chute. He slept in the woods. He wondered about if knew he had escaped. He never saw any cameras and Colossos never came down. He realized. He also wondered if his father was in a similar trap as him somewhere.

Finally, after what felt like Months, Homer finally reached his home. He was still wanted, so he was careful as he walked through Springfield like a homeless man. Then he finally reached it. He was home.

It was wonderful to see. He ran to the door, preparing to knock. Then his happiness turned to fear when the door just creaked open. He looked inside.

"I'm home!….Marge! Kids I'm Home!"

He ran all over. The house was empty. He suddenly became very scared.

"Marge? Kids?"

Had they been taken. A number of horrifying possibilities ran through his head. He stumbled out. His head filled with horrified thoughts. Then he turned to see a shocked Ned Flanders.

"Homer?"

Homer walked towards him.

"Flanders."

"You're alive?"

Homer grabbed him.

"Where's my family?"

"They moved."

"What?!"

"Marge didn't want to live in a house with a wall that lead to another dimension. A house where she lost her husband and grandfather."

"Dad's still missing?"

"Yes."

"Where are they?"

"…Homer…"

"…Where are they?!"

"…Homer…Everyone thinks you're dead."

Homer walked with Flanders up to his false grave.

"It's up here on this hill."

They spotted someone at the grave. It appeared to be a woman.

"Marge?"

He ran towards her.

"Marge!"

She turned around. Homer stopped. It was not Marge, but it was someone who he recognized and who recognized him. She had tears in her eyes.

"Maaaaaaa…..ooommmmm?"

She wiped away her tears.

"Homer?"

"Mom!"

The two hugged. Both crying their eyes out.

The two were now sitting in silence, starring at each other.

"Homer I…"

"I know…"

"…what?"

"When you disappeared I tried looking for you. I was just a kid, so I couldn't do much. When I was older my Dad told me why you left. As an adult I tried to find you. I started working for Burns because I thought maybe he knew where you were. When it was clear he didn't I stuck around mostly because of the kids."

"The Kids."

"Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Herb."

"I know Homer. I watched your show."

"awww…but why come back now?"

"Because I heard you were declared dead. I had to see your grave for myself."

"Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

Homer tried to act cool, leaning back in his chair and swinging his arm casually. Then he fell backwards on to the floor and let out a "Doh!"

"Homer…there's something I need to tell ask you, and I want you to be truthful with me….Did you kill Mr. Burns?"

Homer tried to speak but began mumbling.

"Well I…I uh…"

He looked at her face, a compassionate look of understanding. Homer sighed.

"…Yes."

Mona put her hand to her chest in shock.

"Oh…Homer."

"…I didn't want to… but Dad reminded me about why you had to go on the run in the first place. Because you saved Burns's life and instead he identified you."

Mona leaned back.

"So that's it then. Fate is a funny thing."

"Oh yeah. How so?"

"I had to go on the run for saving Burns…and you went on the run for killing him."

"I should never have ran. I didn't have to. The Stonecutters would have protected me."

"Stonecutters?"

"I'll tell you later….But all you need to know if I'm done running. I'm going to face my time in court."

"You…really mean that."

"I do."

Mona stood up proudly.

"Alright. Me too!"

"What?"

"I've been running for far too long. It's time I face the music"

"Homer stretched his hand out to her."

"Simpsons."

Mona looked at him with a gentle smile and took the hand."

"Simpsons."

She then looked at Homer again.

"So...How's your father."

"Homer's eyes widened and he nervously rubbed the back of his neck."

"Dad was back! And we met grandma!"

"We didn't care if both could have gone to Jail. We were just happy to have him back and meet Grandma. Lisa felt a strong connection to her. It was wonderful. With Dad back everyone wanted to spend as much time as we could. He'd sent an anonymous tip to the government about a bunker and a chute with a drinking bird hitting a button that if it ever didn't the Power Plant would explode and destroy Springfield. We hoped that would be enough to not have to worry about the situation anymore. We were still hoping they would find Grampa somewhere. He was probably put into another one of 's sick experiments. We hoped maybe he was smart enough to get out of it like Homer had. I mean he had army experience, so it was possible. At least that's what we hoped.

Dad didn't just spend time with his Family. He spent it with friends as well. He, Moe, Apu and Otto reformed their bowling team and joined the Bowling League. They kept advancing until they won the Championship. The whole thing went off without a Hitch.

Oh yeah, Middle School. I didn't mention it, but yeah, me and Lisa had moved on to a new school, creatively titled Springfield Middle School. I started wearing more rebellious shirts like the MAD Magazine "Down with Homework." It didn't do much but I felt good about it.

I decided that since he wasn't my Principal anymore, I'd sit down and ask Skinner about his time in Vietnam. I had caught…horrifying glimpses of it. I still had nightmares about what I saw in those moment. He said he was sorry. He didn't mean to scare me like that. He told me everything about his experiences, and the worse part wasn't that I couldn't understand. I could read his mind. I could understand. I saw what he saw. I saw one of his friends be crushed by an elephant, and all the horrible tortures. Skinner had even been obsessed with this stew he had while he was there as a P.O.W.

Bonestorm is a fighting game released in both Console and Arcades developed and published by Midway in 1992. It was the first entry in the Bonestorm franchise and was released by Acclaim Entertainment for nearly every home console at the time. The game stirred controversy for its blood and gore. Originally known in the original concept as "Mortal Kombat". The game took many years to complete, finally seeing release in the Christmas Season of 1995.

-BONESTORM Wikipedia page.

"Yeah I was hyped when the game came out. Nelson tried to get me to steal a copy, but I just paid for it with all the money I'd been making. I mean Mom would have killed me if I had stolen it, and I still thought Dad wasn't going to come back, so I had to think about what he would've thought of me. It made me grab my throat nervously. Milhouse got it and we played many games. He started calling himself "Thrillhouse."

-Do the Bart Man: The Autobiography of Bart Simpson.

We had a new neighbor. We had moved, but now someone moved to keep an eye on us. They needed a trusted member of the Stonecutters and someone with ties to the Government. So who better than George Bush Sr…Former President. It wasn't as weird as you'd think. Springfield had a reputation for being a home to former Presidents since Nixon came to stay there after his Presidency. We mostly brought in Republicans. Shortly after Bush Sr, Gerald Ford moved in. Dad got along really well with him.

So yeah. We were neighbors to a former President. That was amazing. Of course he had insulted our show when it was on the air, but now he seemed more calm. He was there to write his memoirs and enjoy retirement. He didn't seem to like Dad, but he got along just fine with Flanders. Barbara Bush on the other hand got along fairly well with the entire family. Lisa was inspired by her and she would have meetings with mom and grandma. She said that apparently, Dad and son had a falling out so badly that George Bush Sr didn't want to retire to Houston, not while Bush Jr was Governor of Texas.

All and all thing were fine between us at first.

So you're probably wondering how Bush Sr and Dad ended up having a fist fight in the sewers...oh yeah...that's a funny story...
