You might already know it - I´m addicted to coffee, shopping (especially shoes *grin*) and I´m a huge Simpson´s fan.
About 2 years ago The Simpsons Movie was announced in Germany (production, etc. ) - now, ages later… we´ve been out to have our yellow moments in feature-length! WOOT!!! Finally!!!
The Simpsons Movie
We´ve had a bunch of fun watching the full-length cartoon movie. My favorite character is Homer - obviously (see our daily moment of Homer J.), followed by Maggie, Bart, Mr Burns and all the other more or less yellow citizens of Springfield, Wherever, U.S.! I also like Waylon Smithers, he assistant of C. Montgomery Burns, lots. Since Smithers and Burns played a short guest part in The Simpson´s Movie, I decided to honor them bit in this TT. Some (gay) friends and me myself have asked ourselves often, if mr Smithers might be gay… Yeah, I know… it´s totally strange to consider about the sexual preferences of anybody, especially of a cartoon character, but we are a kind of strange clique 
and we even investigated, presenting the results proudly *wink*:
13 hints Mr Smithers might be gay…
… and in love with Mr Burns
1.) When Lisa seeks Smithers for help in contacting the inventor of Malibu Stacey, Smithers gets the information from his home computer. When he turns the computer on, the computer screen shows a nude Burns that utters in broken English: “Hello, Smithers. You’re…quite…good…at…turning…me…on.” - plus Waylon owns the largest Malibu Stacey collection.
- Lisa vs Malibu Stacey
2.) When Burns fantasies about Marge, he asks Smithers about that dream where you’re in bed and they fly in through the window. Smithers groans with pleasure, imagining Burns himself flying through his bedroom window. Smithers says, “You’ve been reading my wishbook, sir.”
- Marge Gets a Job
3.)In a flashback, Smithers explains why he “couldn’t keep his marriage together.” In which his wife blames Mr Burns for ruining the relationship
- Secrets of a Successful Marriage
4.)Burns asks Smithers to take off his belt; Smithers replies, “with pleasure, sir.”
- Burns, Baby, Burns
5.)In a restaurant Smithers discovers John, who is an homosexual, eating dinner with the
Simpson family, and becomes upset.
Smithers: “So this is your “sick mother”?”
John: “Don’t do this to me, Waylon.”
- Homer´s Phobia
6.)When Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is about to suffer catastrophic meltdown. Burns remarks “I guess there’s nothing left but to kiss my sorry ass good-bye.” Smithers asks, “May I, sir?”
- Homer Defined
7.) When a record thrown by Moe hits Smithers in the head, Smithers appears to get excited when he sees the record’s title “It’s raining Men.”
- Fear Of Flying
8.) During the “In the Navy” musical number, Smithers, for some reason, is seen dancing next to the Village People on top of a submarine.
- Simpson Tide
9.) Smithers is “caught on film” leaving a burlesque house. Burns demands an explanation; Smithers replies, “My parents insisted I give it a try.”
- Bart After Dark
10.) When Lisa’s message-rocket breaks into Mr. Burns’s office and lands in his suit, the old man tells Smithers he has “a rocket in my pocket.” Waylon’s knowing reply: “You don’t have to tell me, sir.”
- A Litthe Wiggy
11.) When Mr. Burns is shocked at “Hit Man” Hart’s “old man smell” remark, Smithers tells him he has an enchanting musk.
- The Old Man And The Lisa
12.) When Mr. Burns goes through his lunch, he comes across… “One jar of garlic pickles. No one will want to kiss me after these, eh Smithers?” to which Smithers replies “It’s their loss, sir.”
- D´OH-ing In The Wind
13.) In this episode, Smithers basically shows a lot of resentment towards Burns courting Marge’s mother. When Burns asks for help in composing a love letter, Smithers recites “`Darling one, read my words and hear my heart speak of a love soft and undying: a love that will be with you always. Sincerely,’ yatta, yatta, yatta.” Burns asks how he thought it up so fast. Smithers cries, “I sent it to you on your birthday! *sob* Excuse me, I have something in my eye!”

Happy TT and thanks for stopping by,
And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:
Homer: There’s your giraffe, little girl.
Ralph Wiggum: I’m a boy.
Homer: That’s the spirit. Never give up.

Are you addicted to caffeine...?
I’ve never been a fan of the Simpsons and don’t know these characters or episodes, but from your good solid investigative journalism, I’d have to agree with your supposition about Smithers.
August 12th, 2007 at 10:35 pmWell, gee, I don’t see how any of this makes him gay per say! Excellent post and I’m sure it was a lot of work, too.
Wanted to let you know that I finally did my “Ten Lies” meme but I went off on an even more slightly different route. I hope it still counts!
August 12th, 2007 at 2:53 amOh how pitiful my tt is compared to this….. not enough caffine.
August 11th, 2007 at 10:01 pmHow did I know you’d go see this movie? LOL!
I have a special sticky post up!

You are invited, not only by me, to the Monaco Ball
