Sorry for the short/late post today. My bulldog is sick and I had to run to the animal hospital this morning. Ever since I got The Simpsons movie on Blu-Ray I have been wondering when the regular episodes were going to be in HD. It all starts this week. Today The Simpsons will have that first HD episode. Below is the new intro which has more than just a cool couch gag. The only crappy thing is that I am not home and I forgot to set my PVR to record it! Oh well, I will make sure to get all the episodes going forward. Enjoy the intro!

Today was day 1 back to school. I won’t lie, I got my ass handed to me in the gym. As you probably know, I am doing a firefighter pre-service course designed to prepare you to get a job as a firefighter. We spent day 1 doing some practical work including getting our bunker gear and learning how to get all of our stuff on properly. Less than an hour of this day was spent in the gym. Wow. Our instructor knows her stuff. Yours truly definitely needs to up his intensity of his training. I need to get into a running routine as well. I normally try to avoid running in favor of other cardio exercises, but I can’t get away with that anymore. I need to do some real running out there. I definitely have some big areas to improve and I will let you all know how I progress. As I mentioned the other day my blog posting frequency will remain at a minimum of 1 post per day, but I will only be throwing it up late in the day. That probably only threw you guys off this one day, as I didn’t have anything up for your Monday during working hours. Sorry! So, today I am not sure if I will trade, but I will take a look. If I do make a trade I will throw it online tomorrow. What I can offer you today is something pretty cool. This is a montage of every Simpsons couch gag. I thought this video would go on forever, but thankfully they sped it up. It’s pretty cool to see the evolution of the show. Enjoy!

Update: The fockers who run the universe pulled out some copyright bullshit and had the video removed from Youtube. I have updated the post with a different video…hopefully this one will stay up for more than 24 hours. If not…well…nothing I can do.

I recently posted about Ren & Stimpy. After that, I got to thinking about other cartoons that contributed to my sick sense of humor. I didn’t have to think too long before I started to remember Beavis & Butthead. These two idiots were brought to us by MTV. Most episodes was just about them being dumb-asses and making funny comments about music videos. This show shot to massive popularity - I am talking The Simpson’s level of popularity! They sold T-shirts, cd’s and even video games. They went global when they released a full length movie that did pretty well. Once you make it on David Letterman, then you know you truly have a success on your hands. Being cartoon characters didn’t stop these two from hanging with Letterman. Check it out:
