The thing is, that referred to the actual Simpsons family playing the Simpsons on TV, so it is not necessarily externalizable to the show.

Mystery solved.

They also showed an I-95 sign last night as Tony was driving to Homer's house. I don't think Mizzu Springfield has an I-95.

When will people learn that it's not a specific state? Several episodes allude to different states and they are never consistant. But it seems more and more over the last couple seasons that they have been playing it so much. I'm guessing they do it in part because people argue about it so much.

An episode on last night flat out said they were from Northern Kentucky. :) It was the semi-documentary on their problems and reunion.

vi for anything quick, emacs for heavy-duty editing. vi is quicker to navigate in, but emacs does a nice job of auto-formatting my code for me as I go.
