Tony Blair meets Homer Simpson
BBC News ^ | 20 November 2003

Posted on 11/21/2003 2:02:18 PM PST by presidio9

The Prime Minister Tony Blair will make his debut in 'The Simpsons' on Sunday.

Mr Blair, who is said to be a big fan of the show, recorded his dialogue in April for an episode in which Homer Simpson meets him in London.

The episode reportedly sees Homer crash a Mini Cooper through the gates of Buckingham Palace catapulting the Queen out of her horse-drawn carriage.

Actor Sir Ian McKellen and Harry Potter author JK Rowling appear alongside him in the show, called 'The Regina Monologues'.

The episode will be on TV in January in the UK.

Wouldn't be the first time. Anyway, the working titles aren't broadcast the way, say, Star Trek titles were.

Only if you are already familiar with The Vagina Monologues. My children aren't, so I wouldn't care if they saw that title. It wouldn't mean anything to them.

They better not crash a Mini. I'm going to sell my 64 Cobra and get a Mini Cooper S and an H2.

It may have been the final nail in the coffin of my relationship with my partner Joe when he said his wife was buying a block of tickets to go to the Vagina Monologues and did I want to go with them. I said that I wouldn't go see that play if it were across the street and someone paid me $500 to go. Guess he and his wife weren't amused. I also refused to go to the table the firm bought at her request at the March of Dimes banquet. sigh.

I'm sure you're much better off. I would have made the same pronouncement in the same situation. In fact, I'm a little of a black sheep at our company now because I have declined to have a portion of my check held back to be sent to the United Way. As far as I'm concerned my income tax withholding pays for all of the charity I need to support (apart from giving to the church).
