If only he’d worn an orange T-shirt, he’d have had it in the bag.

I too owe many thanks to Lester and Eliza. This is a great vindication for anybody who was ever taking a bath, went to get the paper, fell down, and had the door slam behind them and the doorknob break off.

You do look pretty like him. But who's the kid with the skateboard?

I don't care what anyone says, life was better in the 90's.

Nah. We just didn't have to confront what was fucked up because we were too young.

I got lost in my nostalgia, and looked up the problems of the time. It was a real eye opener. Glad I did it.

Don't fall into the nostalgia trap, or 20 years from now, you'll be cursing the kids and ranting about "The Good Old Days".

Proud of you bro! I had that Bart Simpson shirt with that quote and wore it proudly. Don’t have a cow man

Huge milk drinker, so were I to own a cow, I wouldn't be so much in the red due to all the milk purchases. So, in other words, would love to have a cow.

Holy crap, I’m pretty sure I was at that event. Did they play that “I Wanna Be Rich” song along with a weird dance? I remember the Woolworth’s by the south/formerly ghetto section of the mall selling questionable “official” merchandise related to the this.

I don't think the real Bart Simpson wears a plastic smock with a picture of himself on it.

"On Halloween he would!"

Anyone remember the song Deep Trouble? I think it was the follow up to Do the Bart man. Bart spits bars on that shit.
