Woohoo! 'Simpsons' fans rejoice! Universal Studios is building
Springfield
by Sandra Gonzalez

OMG! OMG! OMG!

This could be the greatest news for Simpsons obsessives since those
7-Elevens were converted into Kwik-E-Marts to celebrate the release of
the Simpsons movie.

Springfield, home of the three-eyed fish and hometown of Jebediah
Springfield, is becoming a reality at Universal Studios� Orlando
amusement park.

While rumors have been floating for a while, Universal Studios
officially announced today that they are expanding the area around the
Simpsons Ride in Orlando to include an entire area that mimics the
streets of Springfield. �And yes � there will be Duff Beer,� a release
said.

Some of the attractions will include a Krusty Burger, a Lard Lad
donuts, and, of course, Moe�s Tavern. There will also be a new Kang &
Kodos-themed attraction. (Personal hope: the gift shop only sells
�Bort� license plates.)

I�m thrilled. Also, can I just say it�s about time? I mean, Harry
Potter fans have an entire Wizarding World of fun, and while I�m
totally happy for them, it brings me great joy to say Simpsons fans
will get to enjoy the Krustyest place on earth.

Yeah, that turned out to be a whole bunch of nothing. This will
likely be no different.

A decade ago this would have been a good idea.

I would like to talk to the 1990s... Did it leave a call back number?

You really need to try having sex sometime.

Sure, why not. It'd make it at least slightly more interesting.

I also think it sounds fun. But they're right, this would have been
HUGE 20 years ago.

I've had this idea for a Futurama episode based around a Simpsons Theme
Park that I'd love to pitch to 30th Century FOX. Now it's more
relevant, but Futurama is canceled, so...

I found it in "Ned's Book of Names" (http://www.snpp.com/guides/flanders.file.html), and it's from THOH V :

Ned: Oh! I see by the Big Board we got a Negative Nellie in Sector
Two. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask the whole family to
kind of freeze and prepare for Re-Neducation.
