Saw a brand new Simpsons episode yesterday - entitled Love Is A Many-Splintered Thing!
Possibly a closet Old Goth on the staff of the most famous cartoon in the world?
NB: I also considered DOH-minion for the Subject Line.
She Looks Good In...Simpsons!

Doh-minion would have been better.
Was there any subtext to the story line that hinted at a Sisters related theme?

I don't think this has anything to do with the Sisters. Turning "many-splendoured thing" into "many-splintered thing" doesn't take a big stretch of the mind.
I even seem to recall Lisa Douglas doing the same thing in the 60s sitcom Green Acres.

Mm, the background certainly implies that the inspiration came from Splendor.
There were no Sisters references in the episode either, sadly.
Just a hopeful fool fishing in pop culture!

Simpsons titles often have nothing to do with the episode except for a tenuously linked pun.Hom_Corleone wrote:Doh-minion would have been better.

Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

This should probably move to General Chat (or maybe even JOTD)
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
