Lisa: Perhaps "Dylan's subsequent meteoric rise to world domination" was
meant to be sarcastic -- or ironic, at least.
Homer: Doh!
Moe: I never did like that Dylan guy.  Can't sing.  Give me Sinatra
anytime.
Lisa: I think it's the other Dylan.
Moe: Yeah, yeah, right.  Well, I don't like "The Practice" either.  Too
much singing and not enough suds.  That bar is phoney-baloney.
Lenny: No that's Ally McBeal.
Homer: Mmm.  The chick from Footloose.  She's cute. But did you know all

glue anything.  They ... Oh never mind.
