In 400 episodes and nearly two decades on "The Simpsons," Homer Simpson has never been accused of being a man of few words.
In fact, he's quite quotable. Here are some of his best lines:
_ "Fame was like a drug, but what was even more like a drug were the drugs."
_ "Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals, except the weasel."
_ "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
_ "Here's to alcohol, the cause of -- and solution to -- all life's problems."
_ "I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman."
_ "What's a wedding? Webster's dictionary describes it as the act of removing weeds from one's garden."
_ "I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over fifty and if its speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'"
_ "Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!"
_ "Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."
_ "Oh, so they have Internet on computers now!"
_ "With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like love!"
