Totbox’s Throwback Thursday: S1 E5 Bart the General

Posted on June 9, 2016 by | 11 comments

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday with Totbox!  Enjoy this week’s installment.. -Alissa 

ATTENTION MAGGOTS!!! I mean, hello peacemakers and warmongers,

When I time-travel I try to stay away from war era’s but that is nearly imposable. Even traveling to 2700 BC you’d think I’d be safe but No, that was the first documented war (in Mesopotamia). In my travels, I have ran into a few generals like General Washington, General Patton and General Lee (the car from The Dukes of Hazzard). Generally speaking, Generals are generic but not this one, Bart (the general).

“Bart the General”

Bart has a bully problem, and of course you know, This Means War.

Totbox’s Throwback Tuesday: S1 E4 “There’s No Disgrace Like Home”

Posted on June 7, 2016 by | 9 comments

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday Tuesday with Totbox!  We’re going to run 2 of them this week in an effort to move through some more of Season 1… Enjoy! -Alissa 

Hello Normal People and all you Irregular Regular-Folks,

I have discovered the only way to feel normal is to admit I am as messed up as most people on this planet. When it comes to families, that’s another story. I wonder if Sigmund Freud had a “normal” family, or what about Frasier Crane (remember him?)? Dr. Frasier Crane, first appeared on “Cheers” in 1984 which became the longest running sitcom and later he had his own show “Frasier” (1993) which also has a record for being on the top ten list of longest running sitcoms, little did we know “The Simpsons” would shatter all such records. It is Crazy and maybe a little Shocking to think about. So, While you wait to collect insanity peppers in Tapped Out I’d like to present Season 1 Episode 4:

“There’s No Disgrace Like Home”
After a company picnic, Homer realizes his family can use a little professional help

Totbox’s Throwback Thursday: S1 E3 “Homer’s Odyssey”

Hi There, Energy Eaters (and Inspectors of Safety)

I have been able to time travel relatively safely without the use of radioactive materials. It is safe to say that “Safety” is no joking matter, but neither is tying a boulder around ones waist, but on January 21st 1990 it was a simpler time perhaps and thus those things were indeed a joking matter. Like Homer, I too had my darkest moments turn to a purposeful mission. What? You want to know more? …Fine, so I was playing TSTO while there was a lull in the game between one event to another and I realized something, I can write a Post about old episodes!! :p

“Homer’s Odyssey”

Homer’s worst moment brings clarity to his devotion to Safety

Totbox’s Throwback Thursday: S1 E2 “Bart the Genius”

Salutations recipients of acknowledgment,

Last time (if you are traveling in continuity) I mentioned The Simpson’s first episode aired on December 17th 1989 and that is still true no matter how much I messed with space time. I must admit, I’m feeling a little stupid, almost as stupid as a couple of other travelers Bill and Ted (whose excellent movie premiered on February 17th 1989), “why do I feel as stupid as them?” Well, lets just say when you meet true genius, it’s best not to have your facts wrong… Let’s leave it at that. I’ve been doing a little research on “Genius” and ran into Stephen Hawking but he was just born (1942), then went back further to meet Albert Einstein but he was just born (1879) then traveled forward again…. (1949) Wile E. Coyote, (1993) Brain (from Animaniacs) and his pal Pinky, (1996) Dexter’s Lab (Dexter) and I’m sure I forgot a few other Geniuses along the way so I went back to January 14th 1990.

“Bart the Genius”
Cheating is never a smart idea, but it made Bart a “Genius”

Totbox’s Throwback Thursday: S1 E1 “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”

Posted on May 19, 2016 by | 39 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!  Most of you know Totbox from the comments and several fun posts Tot’s written here on the site.  Over the last couple of weeks Tot and I have been kicking around some post ideas that started with Tot’s reminiscing about Season 1 of the Simpsons.  After  a few ideas we settled on letting Tot’s creativity run wild…and a fun Throwback Thursday feature here on the site.
Each week Tot’s going to take us on a trip down memory lane as we throw it back to Season 1 of the best. show. ever.
So enjoy the newest feature on Addicts…and Tot’s musings about Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire… (and given the stress of the last day or so, I think we all could use a fun little trip down Simpsons memory lane…)
-Alissa

Merry Christmas Time Travelers!!

On November 22nd 1989 (when BTtF2 premiered) I borrowed Doc Brown’s Delorean, to the Old West? No! To the FUTURE!!! All the way to December 17th 1989… (In hindsight I could have just waited for time to pass naturally) when The Simpsons’ Season 1 Episode 1 aired.

“Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”
     Bart wants/gets a tattoo and it leaves a permanent stain on the family’s Christmas budget, so,Homer moonlights as a Mall Santa for some extra Ho-Ho-Dough 🙂
