So many similarities, and some subtle differences. Still love the Simpson's version. The Tree house of Horrors shows are always fun. ππ€πΌ

Always the best Simpsons episodes.
New treehouses still good too. Last year they had 2 of em I think instead of one. A regular tree house episode and a while episode where they did IT.
It's really the only time I'll warch the Simpson's anymore. The regular episodes have become tiresome, tbh.
The regular new ones are ok. Mostly they don't have that heart anymore though.
The best thing about the regular episodes right now is how they do genuine and meaningful call backs.
Not like "remember that time" *cuts on scene from old episode*
Instead they'll be doing something like Bart is frustrated doing some project, asks Lisa for help. "Why do you need MY help. You're the creative one. You wrote me a song for my birthday remember?".
"Michael Jackson wow you a song for your birthday..."
"Oh yeah... Well... You helped?"
Trying to bring back some of the old magic, I guess. I do miss the early episodes. Pure comedy gold.

God I love grandpa π€£
Grandpa and Ralph
Ralph was always a personal favorite. I had a pin button made, when I was in the Navy; I'd give it to my new guys when they reported. π
For new guysπ€£π€£π€£
If I ever served in the baby we would've been friends then. And I would've told you that you had it ALL wrong Ralph should be whenever anyone has an idiot move. I'd probably have a few Ralphs pinned to be.
Nah squeaky-voiced teen needs to be the new guy. He worked everywhere!
Submarines are completely different than any other military group. We're a special bunch. Who voluntarily goes on a boat that sinks? π€£

Seriously. I went down a rabbit hole after the titan thing. I learned about the thresher and it imploding. And I guess they teach people that it was instant or whatever and a great. But recent FOIAct releases show that there were people alive and responding to pings and banging on the hull for 24 hours trapped sinking lower and lower up to like a day and a half after everything happened.
Terrible to even think about
So the Thresher incident was legit. Her emergency air valves froze during a test and she went down. Implosions are instantaneous. Over in a micro-second. The Scorpion they tried to cover up as an accidental torpedo explosion from inside. But, if you look at her damage you know it was externally initiated. She was torpedoed back in the 60s, but kept quiet as not to start a war.
Now the Kursk (Russian sub lost in the Bearants) had several people still alive after the explosion. Lives were lost because the Russian government didn't want anyone else involved.
I could keep going. Tragedies all around, though. Doesn't matter your nationality. Submariners are submariners no matter where you go.
People are peopleπ€·π½
And as a beige Californian everyone and everything living or inanimate is a dude. So.
Exactly. Dude is a preferred use pronoun π€£π€πΌ
Well I identify as a non-binary 49er

That but with a better moustache.
And when I go gray I think I might try dyeing hair of everyone to keep up the black and white themeπ€·π½
No dyes here ππ€πΌ

Moustache not done for morning dog walk butπ€·π½
Salt n pepper not quite gray yet
I like my salt n pepper. Embraced it with open arms. π
My beard used to be much smaller. And it's only slightly in my stache. So suddenly I started growing it out and it was there. Ladies a at bars like itπ€·π½ or at least it attracts a lot of fingers asking how soft it isπ€·π½ so I'm pretty happy with it
