fill it up with petroleum distillate, and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste

I was reading Engadget today and saw an amusing post. apparently some cable set top box programmers decided to have a little fun and throw in a Simpsons reference easter egg. a riff off of one of my favorite scenes from episode 3F11, where Homer is in the market for a new TV.

Homer: [gasps] Look at these low, low prices on famous brand-name electronics!

Bart: Don't be a sap, Dad. These are just crappy knock-offs.

Homer: Pfft. I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny.

Salesman: [walking up] Listen, I'm not going to lie to you. Those are all superior machines. But if you like to watch your TV, and I mean _really_ watch it, you want the Carnivale'.

party here friday night.
