stalker: the simpsons
Disclaimer: I do not own the Simpsons or it's characters.
Chapter 10,
Time to welcome back Bart, and all (if any) readers to this particular stalker page. I know it has been a whil since I have updated this, but heaven knows that there will be plenty of chapters. After all, this is the tenth chapter and I haven't even discussed half of the series.
The first episode in season 2, is called "BART gets an F." Heavy on the Bart already. Let's see, we even have Mrs. Krabappel complaining about Bart's behavior. He keeps interrupting Martin's report, and he even puts ketchup packets in Martin's seat before he sits down. I understand that Bart is a prankster and enjoys to make people laugh; but I wonder if Bart would ever become a terrorizing bully, like Nelson.
I find it a tad humorous that Bart gives a book report off of the picture of his book. Apparently no one told him that he shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.
Hm, Bart writes on the board with his left hand. I suppose this makes sense because your dominant hand becomes your dominant hand because it is actually larger. That is why being left handed is something you are born with, not taught.
When asked about the pirate in Treasure Island, Bart mentally lists off "Blackbeard, Captain Nemo, Captain Hook, Long John Silver, Bluebeard." If he stopped sooner he could have gotten the answer correct. In detention, Bart spaced out, but he knows exactly what his teacher is saying. Yes, this probably means that Bart has gotten in trouble a lot, but also it means that Mrs. Krabappel is repetitive and predictable.
Bart doesn't study for his test, that a given. But if that were me, I would have forgotten the test all together. So, Bart remembers the test throughout the day, but procrastinates studying.
I find it funny that Bart trusts Sherri and Teri to be honest with him. After all, they are pranksters that don't get caught.
Before taking the test, Bart cries out in pain until he gets sent to the nurse. Being a Military child myself, I have been to three different elementary schools and I must say that I have never seen someone do this. As humorous and common this is for the 'class clown', I wonder if anyone has actually experienced someone doing this. Please share with us.
Anyways, Bart calls Milhouse for answers on the test. I was surprised that Bart memorized them. It's not like he stared at a piece of paper because Mrs. Krabappel was standing in front of him.
Alright, now Bart is confronted with his grades and he snaps at the adults. Perhaps this 'fear of failure' Bart developed is a result of Lisa being smarter then him. He knows that he will never be smarter then Lisa; 'So why try?' he may wonder. That is, until it is suggested that he gets held back.
Ok, so Milhouse is Bart's best friend, but he always goes to Otto for advice. And even though Otto tries his best to calm Bart down, he only makes Bart worry more. This worry makes Bart fantasize in class.
He imagines himself, still in the fourth grade, but maybe, 30-40 years later. Once again, Mrs. Krabappel askes Bart the name of the pirate, in Treasure Island. Bart doesn't know, but Bart Jr. does. We must remember that this scene is part of Bart's psyche. So if Bart never read Treasure Island, then how did he know the pirate? Something to think about.
Bart askes Martin for help in school, and normally I ask myself why Bart asks Martin instead of Lisa for help. I think it's clear that Bart asked Martin because he felt sorry for Martin.
Actually it could be a little guilt, now that I think about it. Bart switched IQ tests with Martin and he got sent to that prestigious school. There the smart kids bullied him because he wasn't smart. And eventually Bart told them that he had cheated, but not how. Therefore Martin lost his chance to leave because of Bart, and gets bullied for being smart. Seeing how lonely Martin is and how others made fun of him, perhaps reminded Bart of his experience at the other school. So, if Bart can make life easier for Martin, then it could make up for what he did.
Back on this episode, Bart and Martin begin to help each other out, but in the end this relationship is one-sided. Bart says that he hasn't even started to study, which is exactly what Martin was tasked to do. So Bart sadly doodles in his text book knowing that he will fail the fourth grade. Without another option, Bart turns to prayer and asks God for help. And it's a good thing that Lisa heard him otherwise Bart may have wasted this snow day on play instead of studying as he had intended.
Small side note, even though Bart is distracted by the snow, he is still... somewhat responsible for his plant.
His last effort takes Bart into the basement to study. We see Bart fantasizing once more so that we can physically see where Bart Mentality is. And as you can see this takes a turn when the characters in this dream-like sequence become obsessed with snow.
And I know that this episode takes place in a non-winter setting and therefore shocking everyone with it's appearance. But I also want to add that one of the delegates said that it was July. Now this could sound like a meaningless detail, but for me most of my important tests take place before a new semester starts and when the year ends... in June... Yes, yes, the 4th of July is Independence Day, but wouldn't it make sense for Bart to study this particular information for a big test. One that takes place right before summer starts. It would also explain why teachers would suggest to hold Bart back. I mean you don't tell a kid in December that he may need to repeat the grade he spent four months in.
Bart closes the book to stop the scene and once again we see Bart biting his pencil. I use to chew my pencils when I was younger, but I typically did it because I was angry. But it is my understanding that, for the most part, biting your pencil is a nervous habit.
Bart slaps himself to keep himself concentrated, even when taking this test. (Also another chewed up pencil).
But being as nervous as he is, he asks Mrs. Krabbel to grade his paper first. She does and he gets a 59, which makes him cry his heart out. I felt incredibly sad for Bart at this scene and he spits out a correct history factoid that earns him an extra point. Therefore he gets a 60 and passes the fourth grade. Although I suppose that doesn't matter because Bart will spend the rest of his life in the fourth grade with Mrs. Krabappel. Then Bart has an excited little freak out, which includes kissing the teacher. But in the end, Bart finally gets a test paper taped onto the fridge.
I enjoy the fact that Bart, Lisa, Santa's Little Helper, and Snowball 2 all tackle Homer after getting hair. I think it is a moment Bart should deeply enjoy because he knows how angry Homer can get.
Even though Bart knows how important Dimoxinil is to Homer, he still splashes the liquid on his face. Just to be the first of his friends to get a beard and act like it's no big deal.
The Simpson children spend time together in Bart's treehouse to tell scary stories for Halloween. Even though Homer went trick or treating, I am willing to guess that this was Marge's idea.
Of course all Bart cares about is to freak out Lisa, but his attempts are not impressive in the slightest. This could either mean that he thinks Lisa is easy to scare, or he only knows childish techniques.
Bart is a horror movie fan, even making a reference to Friday the 13tg. Now I remember that when my younger sisters were 10, they were not allowed to watch such things. And Marge is more strict on TV violence. So I am guessing that the only way Bart could have seen this, is if he caught it on tv when she wasn't around. Sort of like when Bart watched that 'Top Hat Entertainment' channel.
Bart and Lisa are fishing. But I can't help but wonder who taught them to create their own fishing poles. Homer can't even make a spice rack.
Ignoring that for a minute, I normally think of Springfield as a small town, but it's bigger then some small towns that I have been to. My point is that maybe they shouldn't have been so open to a complete and total stranger. With a worry wart mother like Marge, you think that she taught them something about stranger danger.
Of course, I forgot that the final episode of season 1 involved how Bart and Lisa hogtied Ms. Botz. So I suppose that they feel like they can protect themselves.
Bart gets his picture in the paper for catching Blinky, although this is not Blinky's first appearance. But Bart puts this picture in a scrapbook next to an article titled 'vandal Decapitates town statue'. It's almost funny that Bart would want to remember that since he felt so guilty. But perhaps he has it to remind himself not to take things too far.
I think that it is pretty clear that Bart is a sports guy, and I am glad that he can enjoy the baseball game as much as Homer. Although it does sound a little wrong for Bart to keep the ball Flash signed.
Bart is naturally against moving until Marge convinced him otherwise. And the only thing he wants to do is to become 'spit brothers' with Milhouse. At least that's safer then blood brothers.
Before Homer goes out to perform Bart is quiet because for the first time Bart actually respected his father.
Bart likes mini golf, but I'm guessing that he really loves to see his father throwing a temper tantrum.
Bart tries really hard to perfect his mini golf game.
Although Bart may not like the Flanders clan, he can't bring himself to hate Todd Flanders. Bart does want to make Homer proud so he enlists Lisa's help, which is very effective.
For the first time in a while, Homer has joined his children for training. Bart gets mad and hits his ball hard, almost hitting Homer in the head. Honestly, I think Bart is a good player and he did this on purpose.
Bart and Todd play until they face each other at the final hole. But Bart convinces Todd that the competition isn't worth it and they end in a tie. So they both win $25 and their fathers now the lawn in dresses.
Ah, sibling rivalry, the small torture that makes parents wonder where the Love has gone to. I suppose if Bart does not recognize any of the parade balloons then he never really sat down and watched it before.
Bart probably only cares about the game; although Bart does want to help Marge in the kitchen. I really like this scene because I have a large family, and I have actually seen children do this.
Bart burns Lisa's centerpiece and at the end of the episode Bart says that he enjoyed it, that he is gonna do it again, but he doesn't know why he did it. Now, I am no psychiatrist, but I think it is clear that Bart acts out for a reason. Earlier I said that Bart calls himself dumb because he knows that he will never be smarter then Lisa. She gets her papers taped to the fridge, she can make things he never could and he gets jealous.
They get in a fight and Bart gets in trouble, as usual. Of course Bart feels like Lisa is in the wrong, so when Marge tells him he has to apologize, he rubs off, taking Santa's Little Helper with him.
Now I am surprised that Bart did not recognize the Burns' Manor. The plant has an annual picnic there and it's clear that Bart has been there before. At least he was fast enough to outrun the hounds.
Bart sells his blood to get some quick cash, by using Homer's ID. Although Bart left in a hurry so why would he have Homer's wallet on him before he left?
On the surface, Bart thinks that being homeless is easy, which is a shame because I'm sure the people around him have had some real hardships. When I first saw this episode I was sure that Bart would have talked to the people there. And being an impulsive kid, he would probably ask how they got homeless. Their stories would make Bart realize that his life is pretty good and he shouldn't have left. But instead he brags on television on how his parents didn't win.
I am glad that Bart was kind enough to give his twelve dollars to the gentlemen that helped him out.
Bart hesitates on returning home and he feels that they will blame him for everything. I doubt that this feeling suddenly developed because of his fight with Lisa. I can actually understand this feeling because I got blamed for a lot growing up. My mother use to punish me for hitting my younger sister, and I never realize my sister was lying until she said that I had hit her during my school hours. According to my sister I left school, came home, hit her, and went back to school. Granted Bart actually does bad things, so he may get blamed for things he has never done 'because who else would do it?'
Bart hangs out on the roof until he hears Lisa cry and he instantly tells her where he is. Bart finally apologizes because he feels bad that he made her cry. This is sweet because Bart is genuine and he really does care about Lisa.
Ah 'Bart the Daredevil'... this is where we see Bart wanting to jump Springfield Gorge. In 2007, I saw The Simpsons Movie with my family and my father made a big deal about Bart and Homer jumping the gorge.
"No, no, you don't understand. Bart has been wanting to jump the gorge for years, but people always stop him."
So when I started to watch episodes of the Simpsons from the beginning, I was excited to see how many attempts Bart makes. I also want to point out that the Simpson Movie aired on July 27, 2007 which puts it in between seasons 18 and 19. Now to try and keep this stalker page as 'pure' as I can, I have only watched up to season 12. That may sound stupid to some, but when I watch a new episode it activates my creativity and gives me lots of ideas for stories. Plus Lisa is the first to be studied for every season and I love when they make new developments for her characters.
Bart and Homer agree that Truckasaurus is awesome and they need to see him. They really are similar in the beginning of this episode. By the way, should Marge be letting Bart watch a wrestling match when she hates the violence in cartoons? Well, that is more of a discussion for Marge's evaluation instead of Bart's.
I just noticed how behaved Bart is for Lisa's concert. Perhaps he realizes that this is important to Lisa and he doesn't want to spoil it. I must keep an eye out for this in the future.
Bart is instantly in awe with Lance Murdock. You notice that Bart is the only one who actually watches Lance's jump. Now my first thought was that everyone else in that audiences a big chicken. But logically the odds of that are astronomical.
The other explanation is that there is something wrong with Bart, which is probably the case. Now, I'm not going to say that Bart is fearless; because there are plenty of scenes where he is scared. But maybe Bart is a little 'warped', as my mother calls it. He enjoys danger, destruction and scaring people, so of course he would want to become a daredevil.
His first jump, over the car, was a flop; earning him a trip to the hospital. But this doesn't discourage Bart. In fact it probably reaffirmed his daredevil dream. If I had to take a guess, I would say that if Bart hadn't gotten stitches, he would have given this dream up. Because he hurt himself doing something awesome, which leads to a cool story; which lets others believe you are cool.
The rest of Bart's jumps are successful, but he wasn't creative enough to spice it up. Bart jumped over a pool, but so did Lance Murdock. Lance must have jumped many pools, but Lance knew how to keep it interesting.
Bart talks about a thrill when jumping, but that is probably only the adrenaline rush.
Bart is very polite and respectful when meeting Lance personally.
Bart actually stands up for his daredevil career. Even though Bart is a little hellion, I personally thought that this is Bart being brave. And his parents only succeeded in giving Bart something to prove, which could be the greatest influencer.
Homer was able to stop Bart before the actual jump and shocked Bart, as well as many viewers, with plans to jump the gorge himself. Bart becomes worried for his father's safety and it helped that Homer was willing to sacrifice his life for his son.
Once again, Bart and Lisa are watching their favorite cartoon Itchy and Scratchy. I love that they can actually share this together without fighting. At least they have one thing to bond over.
Upset that he cannot watch cartoons at his house, he starts to watch them at Milhouse's House.
Bart begrudgingly helps his mother with her protest; but in his own form of rebellion, he adds the word 'Don't' to his sign.
At dinner, I'm actually surprised that Bart keeps telling his mother how much he wants to watch cartoons. After all, he saw that Top Hat Entertainment channel without asking, and yet here, he still tries to make Marge say yes. Marge can get political on this show, and when she does, she can be a force to be reckoned with. But that doesn't stop Bart from trying.
Bart turns off the TV when he sees how boring the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon is. At first I didn't see anything wrong with this scene, but then I realized something was off.
First of all, everyone in the Simpson household loves TV. You even have multiple scenes where one is hugging the lifeless device. Shutting it off would mean that the show is really bad.
But that isn't what bothered me, really. It's the fact that Bart, of all people, stopped watching his hero Krusty the Clown. Heck, later when Gabbo tries to kick Krusty off the air, Bart still watches him, even though Itchy and Scratchy are on the Gabbo Show. For Bart to actually be willing to turn off Krusty? Run, the apocalypse is coming.
Bart decides to go fishing with his friends and instantly recognizes a cat fish. Now, granted, catfish are one of the easier fish to identify. But still, the ability to recognize and categorize fish is impressive.
An impressive display of Bart's skateboarding abilities, again. Then he gets hit and ruins his ticket to heaven and gets sent to hell. He doesn't seem to mind going back to hell when he dies, which is a tad disturbing. Although, I suppose it can be humbling to know exactly where you are going when you die.
When Bart is testifying, it seems that Bart is a little conflicted when answering questions. He does seem fine after saying his rehearsed answer.
At restaurants, Bart loves to order food to shock his waiter and his family. Always looking for the gross factor, but I guess he enjoyed his food.
Bart is singing karaoke in the restaurant's lounge. But doesn't Bart complain about singing in season 5 or 6? He shows his hatred for singing and dancing, by singing and dancing. Oh, Bart...
The next time we see Bart is when Homer goes into his room. Bart must have done something bad for him to bend over and prepare to get spanked, without question. Because Bart normally tries to talk others out of him getting punished; so what did Bart do?
Homer is teaching Bart how to shave because he won't get another chance to do so. I did ask my father when he learned to shave like this and he said he was about 12-13, because that's when he started to grow facial hair. Now season 29 is airing now and to my knowledge, Bart is still 10. So it's good that they got to share this moment, because who knows how long it will be before Bart actually turns 13.
Bart also sees right through Marge's lies about their fancy dinner. Even though they are waiting for Homer to get home, Bart and Lisa manage to prank call Moe without Marge noticing and/or caring.
I know that when Lisa was having a bad day, Bart prank called Moe to make her feel better, though it didn't work. Maybe he and Lisa were bummed out by their mother's understandable sadness and decided to cheer each other up.
The Simpson family is watching TV together when it goes out. So Homer and Marge start telling the story of how they met, but for the most time Bart is hating every second of it.
Bart gets excited when he learns about hell, and asks his teacher several unnecessary questions. I can't help but wonder if Bart is actually curious about the questions he ask, or if he is simply wants to drive the Sunday school teacher crazy.
But earlier we see Bart go to hell prematurely, and he doesn't mind returning. I suppose that it would make sense that Bart would want to know what he will experience and who will be there with him.
Bart tries to watch Top Hat Entertainment which makes sense because he is probably curious about that sort of thing and it can have that 'gross out' factor that he loves so much.
Ever the business man, Bart charges people to watch this 'racy movie' channel, as Marge puts it. He gets several kids from his school, including Kirney, who has a son of his own.
Bart loves cable as much as Homer, so he obviously does not want to lose it.
Bart signs the field and gets in trouble as usual. But Principal Skinner uses Bart to get closer to Patty. This allowed Bart to flake out on any and all trouble at school.
In the next episode, I love how Bart and Lisa form their own sign language to communicate. It's fun and very childlike.
Using cuss words for their correct definition, is one of Bart's specialties. I swear, does Bart simply stay up reading a dictionary to study different curses he can use.
When questioned, Bart is proud to be the 'little hell raiser' of the family. All I can say is that, at least he is proud of his work.
I do like the fact that Bart is quick to accept Herb into their family.
Bart asks Herb if he can spit over the side of the hot air balloon, and my first thought is that Bart is being polite for some sinister reason. But Bart was on his way to Heaven until he spat over the side and got sent to hell. So perhaps Bart has learned from his past mistakes and will not ruin this great opportunity.
At the end of this episode, Bart tells Homer that he liked his car. But Bart does wait until the other family members are asleep, so they can't hear him.
When the family is sick of Santa's Little Helper and his behavior, he and Bart get sent to doggie obedience school. But the school doesn't help and so Homer says they need to get rid of the dog.
So Bart tries harder then ever to get Santa's Little Helper to pass his tests. Eventually, Santa's Little Helper does understand and pass his exams.
Now, I recall that Marge said that everyone in her family had a natural talent for sewing, and I question whether or not Bart can sew. I realize that Marge says that only women have added to the quilt, but I suppose that is because men would naturally be more reluctant on trying or learning how to sew. But if Bart had a natural talent, then this could be something to talk about in a fanfiction story. I will also need to keep a lookout to see if there is any indicator of this skill being present.
Bart and Lisa playfully 'sword fight' with their corncobs, which I find sweet, despite the mess they are creating. After hearing that Abraham Simpson is giving his money away, Bart tells him to leave it to his family. When that fails, he simply waits in line and tells his grandfather what he wants in order to try and get it.
After convincing Homer to go to Mount Splashmore; Bart quickly shows his impatient side, by honking that car horn at Homer. And once at the park, Bart and Lisa go off on their own to have fun.
Never one to miss out on the opportunity, Bart scares Homer in the attic. Bart also sees the opportunity to steal Homer's wallet, once again, when Homer is vulnerable.
You know, when I started this stalker page I had already seen seasons 1-12, maybe twice all the way through. I went through different stories to see who people matched Bart up with, and I was surprised that several stories had Bart in a same sex relationship or romance. After seeing this, I immediately thought that this was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my life. I could only think of one episode that questioned Bart's sexuality, and I figured this was why people may use the gay card. But here, when Bart says 'marvelous' to his father, it reminded me of what I saw online. Now, I'm not one to say if Bart is actually gay or not; that is for the writers to decide. After all, here Bart is 10 and he may be curious, but nothing is defiant. All I am saying is that this is the first time I noticed that those fanfiction writers were not crazy.
When I was 10, I had no idea what liver spots were. No one in my family had them, so I suppose that I hadn't even heard of liver spots until I was in high school, during health class. Now my family had children very young, so my grandparents just turned 60 and my great-grandmother isn't even 80 yet. Mr. Burns is 81, as he stated earlier in the season, so he has a few of these liver spots. I know how these spots are formed, but I am not sure the average age people normally are when they get one. But my point is that Bart wants to know about the liver spots. I don't know if this is pure curiosity because of the 'gross factor' or because he simply wants to know. Either way, I find this question creepy and a bit suspicious.
Gross or not, I find it a tad funny that Bart actually does show and tell. I suppose that it is an easy grade for him, because he hates to do any real work for school. Hm, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe Bart would have been a good Horror movie director. He loves to scare and gross people out, and here it shows that he likes to control film. I think that I may put Bart in this profession in one of my stories.
Bart did not ask to be class president, but surely he will not regret being the center of attention because he loves it too much. Bart loves making a scene, but when it comes to the actual election, he doesn't really care. In fact, if it weren't for Homer, Bart wouldn't have done anything extra, like putting up signs. And Bart is so confident in his win that he didn't even stop to think that his party hadn't voted. When he finally realized, it was too late. Bart is disappointed in his loss, until Homer explains why it was better that he lost. Finally feeling better, Bart goes to bed, probably feeling a bit closer to his father.
I know that Homer is a bit of a drunk, and I'm sure that Bart has seen Homer that tipsy before. But Marge makes Homer talk to Bart about it. Now being the oldest child in the family, I have been responsible for, say, bringing my dad home when he gets drunk at our local Oktoberfest celebration. Now my dad doesn't drink a lot because of the conditions of his job; but if he drinks enough to get drunk, he simply laughs more at jokes and he can't stop telling me how sexy my mother is. That's a little sweet, for about 5 minutes, and then it quickly becomes tiresome. Homer is obviously a different kind of drunk, but still.
Um, Bart scares away the babysitter for past events that scarred her for life (possibly literal scars as well). But this means their grandfather has to watch him. But you know, in this back flash, Bart is in diapers, so he is probably 1-1 1/2 years old and he instantly recognized this women. My memory is horrid, so maybe this is just me, but how on earth can Bart remember something from that point in his life? Ever since high school m, my ability to hold information has been growing weaker and weaker. I could never tell you how old a certain memory is, and Bart recognize this girl even after 9 long years? I know, I know, it's a cartoon, but still.
I love that Bart was able to quickly put together a list for his grandfather. Although there is a chance that Bart wrote this list earlier for the babysitter, in hopes that it worked.
Bart has no problem taking advantage of his grandfather; after all,he gets to smoke, easily I might add; and drink as much coffee as he wishes and even throw and wild crazy party. But he feels uncharacteristically guilty when he sees that they had made their grandfather cry. Not knowing that this was a trick, Bart and Lisa clean the entire house.
Personally, I would love to go to a comic book convention. Although my sisters and I only go to comic book shops for Free Comic Book Day. Currently in the town I'm in, there is no comic book shops at all. So if we want comics we either have to order online or travel an hour to the next town over, where the closest comic shop is. So I guess I am a little jealous of the kids in Springfield in this episode.
The question Bart asks Buddy Hodges was... completely inappropriate. I don't care if Bart likes to make a scene, he shouldn't have asked that question. My senior year of high school, I learned that a friend of mine died in a car accident with three other people. I surely wouldn't want someone asking me if the car they died in is haunted by her and her friends. Bart should have been more considerate.
Bart asks Homer for the money to buy this comic book, Radioactive Man #1. Technically Bart already had $30, so he only needed $70 from Homer. If Bart was smart about it, he could have simply asked Homer for $10 every day or so until he got the $100 he needed.
In the end he buys the comic with Milhouse and Martin, which causes complications in their friendship. Honestly I can't imagine timesharing a product like this with my friends, but I like to think that for most cases, I try to be as neutral as I can. For example, Martin strikes me as the type of kid to keep a safe. So what if they put the comic in Martin's safe, keep the safe in Bart's treehouse and give Milhouse the key to the safe. Granted this would probably have backfired as well because the kids got greedy, but still.
Bart is allergic to butterscotch, imitation butterscotch, and glow-in-the-dark monster makeup. Here he has 8 baby teeth, although I am sure that he loses some by the time you get to season 29. But in this episode it's important to know that Bart has double-O-negative blood.
Homer convinces Bart to give his blood to Mr. Burns, but I can't help but think about the 'Bart vs. Thanksgiving' episode. If Bart's blood is rare, then that blood should still be there, if not then he is not the only one with Double-O-negative blood. Granted even if that was the case, we don't know who got Bart's blood.
In the Thanksgiving episode the nurse tells Bart that he has to be 18 to sell his blood, but I suppose that they made an exception for this because Mr. Burns is the one that needs the blood. I will admit that I have only had blood drawn for medical tests. When I was younger I got really sick and my doctor told me that I can never donate my blood. He said if I did I would infect the person who received it; a bit scary, no? Anyways, if I am wrong about Bart's age being a factor, please inform me and I'll say something about it in Bart's next evaluation.
Writing the letter for Mr. Burns, Bart happily copies Homer's words and suggests different insults. Knowing that Homer wouldn't stay upset, Bart mailed the letter. This was rather selfish because Bart only thought of Mr. Burns' money, not the fact that Homer could be fired or worse. But Bart is concerned when Homer is going to water the mailbox.
Bart was clever enough to suggest that Homer pretend to be Mr. Burns and get his letter. But they didn't know the 'c' in C.M.Burns stands for Charles. Although Smithers sometimes calls him Monty as a sign of their friendship, but I don't know why more people don't call him Charles.
Bart loves his prank calls, but as you recall in one of my earlier chapters, he makes most of them in seasons one and two, then we barely see it. What happened?
Burns hands Bart a crowbar to open the crate, but knowing Bart, he would have probably kept the crowbar for future vandalism antics.
Within the crate is a statue of the head of Xtapalapaquetl, the Olmec god of war. Now I know that the Simpsons end up putting this in their basement, but Bart likes it and will probably take it when he finally moves out. Besides the head costs $32,000 and probably more in the future, and so Bart could sell it for a handsome price, or pawn it for cheap money.
Well, after all that writing, season 2 of Bart is finally done. The following chapter, like always, shall be a fun one. I will be pointing out examples of my Ned and Moe pairing, or N.A.M.P, in seasons 1-5. Time in next time to read.
