The Simpsons Stuff
The Simpsons was the defining piece of pop culture for me as a kid.

If I had to be pigeon-holed into any sort of “nerd” category (like Star Wars nerd, film nerd, etc.),

I am a bona-fide Simpsons nerd — for the first nine or so seasons, if you want to get specific. And most Simpsons fans of a certain age do.

While I enjoy the community, the bootleg merchandise, and the countless hours of entertainment the show has provided, I’ve found a well of inspiration from one of their most revered and prolific writers, John Swartzwelder. He would write an entire script in a single day and just fill it with bad jokes and boring dialogue. But the hard part of writing the actual script was done, albeit terrible, and all he had to do was fix it.
