Description
Edna Krabappel's jovial voice boomed like a loudspeaker high above the purse where Burns and Smithers were trapped. "You know Moe, this is my first trip to Hawaii..."Burns peeked his head above a huge pack of chewing gum. "Smithers - we've got to get out of here!"
This is a fun little continuation of a piece I did a year and a half ago that I've always liked www.deviantart.com/gulliver63/… . When I was a kid in Arizona I saw a Disney movie called "The World's Greatest Athlete" that contained one of the best shrinking scenes I've ever watched. This is also sort of a tribute to the late Tim Conway who played the "shrinkee" in this scene, and made it truly funny with his comic genius. He climbed out of the purse with a thread and needle, much like a rock climber would use a cable. It was a long scene...a funny scene. Near the end of it he gets to use an old rotary phone...at his size. Well guys, you almost got a free trip to Hawaii.
As the titanic figure of the school teacher left Moe's bar, Burns again looked at his cohort. "Well, we're out of the purse. What do we do now?"

Would be surprised if Burns didn't complain the handbag wasn't Prada.

::laughs:: I had Amy Wong in this same predicament in a story with a king-sized Morgan Proctor, and she remarked at how cheap the cosmetics were.

The question I would ask in this scenario is how did Old Man Burns and Smithers, his flunky, get shrunk in the first place? And how did they become possessions of Mrs. Krabappel? Other than that, this is an amusing Gulliver63 giantism pic. And I rather envy Edna for her upcoming trip to Hawaii. I've always wanted to visit the islands myself. And although Smithers and Monty missed out on a free trip to Hawaii, I'm sure Old Man Burns would rather spend the time crabbing and squawking to Smithers about their predicament. Nicely done.

Thanks! Truly a funny scene if you've never seen it - Conway gets shrunk by a witch doctor (Roscoe Brown), who is the guardian of the young guy that they've brought back from Africa. These two? Who knows what kind of trouble they've gotten themselves into

Then I guess we'll just have to leave it to our imaginations about Burns and Smithers' plight.

I could just see Burns insulting a witch doctor or something like that. Remember when Homer got a curse put on his family?

I vaguely recall that episode which, I believe, was loosely based on a horror movie called "Thinner," in which a gypsy curses a nasty fat man and he slowly wastes away to nothing.

Let's see if I can remember this right: Marge becomes basically the bearded lady, Lisa is transformed into a centaur, Bart has limbs like spaghetti, and about every one around Homer ends up dying tragically. Homer combats this by capturing a leprechaun.

Yes, I recall that scene about capturing a leprechaun, even though Homer was nowhere near Ireland. After setting a trap for the little Irish imp, the trap gets sprung and Bart pulls out an assortment of creatures including a sprite, a fairy, an imp, a naiad, a wood nymph, and so on until he finally pulls out a leprechaun - a nasty, foul-mouthed leprechaun.

And remember how he baited it? First he put in Trix, which only drew rabbits. When he looked at the box, he gave his trademark "D'oh".

That I don't recall, but thanks for reminding me.

It's cute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFHseN…

Thanks for the link. It certainly brought back some fond memories of that episode, especially when the leprechaun first attacks the gypsy, then the two of them start to make love (eww, gross!).

I just love Homer discovering that he has a box of Trix and going "D'oh!" I also have been loving that scene where inspectors show up at the nuclear plant - pure comic genius. I love what the mayor says in this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rsk1q…

Thanks again for the link. Only a boob like Homer Simpson could cause a nuclear meltdown in a simulator van with no fissionable material. And of course, the very corrupt Mayor Quimby while saying his line is also wearing a fur coat with a $5,000 price tag still attached, courtesy of you-know-who.

The other thing, although minor, still made me laugh; Burns referred to Smithers as the "lovely Smithers" by the washer and dryer...kind of a throwback to good lod Carol Merrill from the Bob Barker days.

How true, although most young people today wouldn't know who Bob Barker and Carol Merrill were. I also liked the opening scenes were everybody in the power plant was napping, including Old Man Burns with Smithers curled up like a dog at his feet and even moving his legs and arms spasmodically like a dog that's dreaming.

Speaking of things from the past, even farther back than I can remember, I was watching the footage from the Army vs. Joseph McCarthy hearings; I love how that history is there for anyone to learn from. I watched as Welch cut him down to size, and was actually familiar with his line, "Sir, have you no decency left..."

I recall the Army/McCarthy hearings on film also. However, it seems that according to recent historical research, Joe McCarthy actually found real commie subversives not only in the US State Dept. but also in Hollywood, mainly in the labor unions. McCarthy's big mistake was not only in shooting off his mouth too often trying to smear honorable men like Gen. George C. Marshall but also in having a man like Roy Cohn as his main assistant as well as his guard dog lawyer. Cohn was arrogant, heavy-lidded, malevolent, a bully and a smear artist. McCarthy went after the Army at the urging of Cohn because Cohn's lover, David Schine, had been drafted and in letters to Cohn, Schine complained about being "tortured" during basic training. All B.S. of course.

What was funny about Cohn was in the comment section a young gay man responded about him - he had no use for Cohn whatsoever. His feeling was that he pretty much got what he deserved.
Tailgunner Joe's demise from alcohol three years after that is telling.

Yes, sadly, McCarthy did have a problem with booze addiction.

A problem? To die like that within three years he must have been drinking entire booze trucks dry.

Yes, Joe McCarthy was a heavy drinker even before he became a U.S. senator. McCarthy was also good friends with Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of John Kennedy. At a gathering at Robert's home, Hickory Hill, some of his children playfully threw McCarthy off the dock, even though he couldn't swim. Fortunately, he was fished out almost immediately. At another party at Hickory Hill, McCarthy got drunk and pawed a woman, and Robert Kennedy had to take him home. Yes, cirrhosis of the liver is nothing to joke about.
