Potato Chips floating around??

I think they just appear. I thought they were coming from the Sun Sphere but now I think they just spawn.

    They have ridges! Check out this clip that's been floating around the boards today:




    This is one of my all time favourite Simpsons moment. The whole episode is one of my all time favourites! So good!
  • Oh! They're crisps! I couldn't tell what they were and they were bugging me. Makes sense now, in a Simpsons nonsensical sort of way.

    In the TV episodes, Homer smuggled some potato chips into the space shuttle and they floated around because of zero gravity, and he floated around and ate them.

    I haven't seen the episode and am trying to find it, but read the synopsis on Wikipedia under "deep space Homer"

    Hth

    And welcome to the forum!!!

    LOL! NINJA'ED THREE TIMES. :)


    I think it's the same episode where the "hail ants" sign comes from as well.

    Edit...just saw this was already mentioned. :)

    Careful they're rippled.

    The Hail Ants signs finally have purpose too bad they're not floating too. Also I want James Taylor in the game. First concert I ever saw live even


    what is their purpose?

    So did the earth loose it's gravity? For some reason these chips are bugging me like the spooky bush not being properly called spooky bush.


    "Did the earth lose its gravity"? You're bugged that a game with a rigellian queen and a unicorn that vomits rainbows bends reality? :P ;)


    Now I'm bugged that the queen, the rainbow vomiting unicorn, and the cajun glass aren't weightless and floating around.
    :mrgreen:
  • I think the episode is called Deep Space Homer in season 5. If you haven't seen it you should try to find it on the interwebs as its a pretty good episode.
    Basically Homer is an astronaut and opens a bag of chips inside the spacecraft with no gravity...he ends up floating around eating the chips and accidently crashes into a glass tank onboard with a test ant colony. And can be seen in the clip posted above, When the news link comes up, they see an ant in the camera lens and Brockman thinks they have been taken over by a race of giant space ants. He makes the comment "I for one welcome our new insect overlords" and posts a sign that says Hail Ants....or something along that line. Pretty funny episode overall.
    :)
  • OMG I can't believe so many people didn't get this reference! If you don't get the reference, you shouldn't even be playing the update! (My opnion as an elitist fan who has watched since season 1 and has seen all episodes countless times.) :shock:
