Day 247 (613) - "I ated the purple berries!"
From The Simpsons episode "Das Bus":
Bart: "Food patrol, we're all starved. Let's see what you got." [Lisa pulls a few berries from her pocket] "That's it?! What happened to all the lobsters, mangoes, and chewy chewy cocoa beans?"
Lisa: "All we found were these oozing berries. And they look pretty poisonous."
Ralph: "I ated the purple berries! Ow..." [drops to the ground, continues moaning]
Bart: "How are they, Ralph? Good?"
Ralph: "They taste like... burning..."
And with the heating that went into extruding the blueberry juices from inside their protective shells, yes, it did indeed burn some (and no, not in the "injury" way).
So, how did I get here? Well, it all started with an innocent comment along the lines of "I need an idea for a self portrait. I know, Flancrest Enterprises!" A search for the particular episode script to explain exactly what that joke meant led me to the very next scene, as (partially) quoted above.
