Cheese-eating surrender monkeys: New and improved
Thanks to Q's selfless service to House 8, I am proud to announce the addition of auditory enhancement to category 1029, aka "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys". Q, if we had a House 8 medal of some sort, you'd get one.
Chris offers:
Quentin has vindicated himself for crashing the server. Take him off of double secret probation.
UPDATE: Q has been officially promoted to the office of Deputy Commander Helper Monkey. Congratulations! The kids will be so proud.
The full story:
The term originates from an episode in 1995, and was spoken neither by Homer nor Bart, but by Groundskeeper Willy:
[2F32] 'Round Springfield'
Written by Joshua Sternin & Jeffrey Ventimilia (teleplay) and Al Jean & Mike Reiss (story)
Production code: 2F32 Original airdate in N.A.: 30-Apr-95
A little later, Bart puts his hand up.
Bart: Mrs. Krabappel, I'm done failing the test. Can I _please_ go to the nurse?
Edna: Gosh, Bart, maybe you really are in pain.
Well...it would be cruel not to let you go.
[files her nails, hums the national anthem]
[hums part of "Stars and Stripes Forever"]
Heh heh heh, _now_ you may go.
Bart: [walking into nurse's room] Lunch Lady Doris? Why are you here?
Doris: Budget cuts. They've even got Groundskeeper Willy teaching French.
Willy: "Bonjourrr", you cheese-eating surrender monkeys!
If only House8 offered wine with the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, it would be like, well, France...
