I'm too lazy to look the site up, but since there is a site for the library then there must be a site for the city as well. Here's the library site- http://library.ci.springfield.or.us/ |

Yep. Matt Groening who was born and raised in Portland, Oregon (north of us) named the Simpson's town after us. He based Marge on his mother. |

Do you live near Homer Simpson? Have you ever seen him? Could you get his autograph for me? |

Hey, another Torontian. What part do you live in? I live in West End. |

Sorry, he doesn't give autographs. I have seen Sam Elliott, though. |

One of the shows actually states that Springfield is in Kentucky though. |

That may be true, but in an interview I saw with Matt Groening, he said that he took the name from our town. |

You could just tell people to watch "The Full Monty."  |

I don't really know or care(since it is a cartoon town)... just thought I'd throw that tidbit in.. my brother is a Simpsons fanatic. |

Nope--but we -do- have electricity and running water, so that's pretty modern, right? |

Doesn't really show the city's best side! It was filmed in all the dankest, poorest bits  Some not far from where I live.... |

Not that I can find. London has so may tourist information ones. But my particular area - Stratford - I can't find any official one. And the one I found seems to have defunct or just started. Its crap and is just a site for advertisers. |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:00am |
Heh heh heh, I just searched for Stratford,London and the first thing that came up was an address - 22 Deanery Road Ah coincidences......... Excuse me, I've just been to see Signs......  |
| Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:01am |
You did that on Google didn't you. I got that first as well. |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:05am |
I did. See, *lots* of coincidences!!!  |
| Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:22am |
I get that occassionaly too. I would create a survey (in fact I'm not sure if I have - I think I have actually) It was difficult to put it into words.
Recently - and this was a fun one. I was reading some survey on another site about a thing called Gaydar. A kind of Sixth Sense where you spot fellow queers. I was debating whether or not it really exists. Anyway, the next day I got on the train and immediately I felt a presence and saw this guy who immediately looked up too and we looked at each other with an immediate recognition. And the tube was crowded (you know how it gets now!) and I was one end, he was another and there were loads of people inbetween. Its hard to describe really. |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:27am |
I always find words cropping up after I hear them for the first time. I had machiavellian explained to me one day and over the next week, people seemed to be saying it all the time! |
| Dino | | (reply to Biggles) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:31am |
*cue Kate Bush Quote*
" Do I look for those millionaires?
Like a Machiavellian girl would.
-When I could wear a sunset"
I had the same with the word Ironic. It was all over the TV, magazines, conversations and then Alannis went and released her song. I was like - "Okay, I think I get it now, thank you Universe but you can stop now" |
| Dino | | (reply to romkey) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:32am |
Question: Do you believe in Gaydar? (the sixth sense - not the website) |
| Biggles | | (reply to Dino) posted 16-Sep-2002 11:40am |
And there you are talking about a Sixth Sense when I've just been to see a film directed by M. Night Shylaman (the director of The Sixth Sense)! |

while I don't believe that it takes one to know one, I think it helps (marginally answering your question about Gaydar ) |

Actually I don't think that was a sign - more that I knew the director did sixth sense and it just reminded me of that incident. Sorry - Signs over. |
