Good Morning and welcome to our one-day-late edition of INSPIRATIONAL TIDBITS.  This is the mid-week cleanser of the palette, the midnight skinny-dip, the shot of Espresso, …the mosquito in the tent that just won’t go away.  Yes, it’s that time again – when we pay homage to that great life-changing Quote-Meister Homer Simpson.  Those of you that have been around for a while know that we quite often dip into the Sacred Well of Homer Quotes and see what’s new.  Here’s the latest batch.
 
“Vampires are make-believe, Lisa…just like elves, gremlins and Eskimos”
 
“Ah, sweet pity.  Where would my love life be without it”?
 
“Mmmm…pork chops and bacon – my two favorite animals”
 
“All right, let's not panic. I'll make the money by selling a liver. I can get by with just one”
 
“Marge, I don’t hate your mother, I just won’t be sad when she dies”
 
“Let us celebrate our agreement with the adding of chocolate to milk”
 
“What are you gonna do, sic your dogs on me?  Or bees?  Or dogs with bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at me?”
 
Here’s a fact I never knew – thanks again, Homer:
 
“A big mountain of sugar is too much for one man. I can see now why God portions it out in those little packets”
