Find Your Own Bandwagon!

"They're losers."..."Now we're in the championship game!" "Championship? Hmm...Woo! 'Topes Rule!"

This quote comes from the episode "Wild Barts Can't be Broken" after Homer walks in to Moe's to find the local loser baseball team the Isotopes in the championship game where he athletically jumps on the bandwagon.

The website Grantland.com is filled with humorous columns mainly dealing with sports and popular culture. They usually have a feature called the YouTube Hall of Fame. This week, guess what it was? The best moments from the Simpsons. This leads me to ask myself in my best Church Lady voice, Well, I wonder where they could have gotten that idea? They said it was from the 500th episode that aired last Sunday, but I know better. It sounds suspiciously like my last four blog posts. This can mean one and only one thing. This website has jumped on my bandwagon! Do you know what this means? I'll finally be more popular in the United States than Slovenia! Maybe I can be as popular as fellow bandwagon-inspiring figures as Tim Tebow or Jeremy Lin! In this day and age of flash-in-the-pan heroes and instant celebrities, this is my ticket to a bunch of overused and easy jokes on Letterman, The Soup, and Saturday Night Live!

All silliness aside, I love every single moment they talk about. Especially the Sideshow Bob stepping on the rakes. I would like to add my opinion of the picture that is at the top of the page and in the same episode where Homer becomes Popeye and rides a donkey to save Marge at the demolition derby. The picture above makes me laugh uncontrollably every time I see it. Honestly, it kills me.

Remember, those of you who have been with me from the beginning, you can brag about it on Internet forums and you're not just jumping on my quick-moving bandwagon.
