Dino Baskovic Can’t Lose

"TiV'o!"

UPDATE: Okay, so nobody saw the Cardinals-Packers game going into historic overtime.  Lesson learned: Never, ever, ever rely on a DVR when taping a show that could be bumped by two wild card contenders dueling to sudden death.

Thanks to Hulu, I can watch last night's "Simpsons" 20th anniversary retrospect with limited commerical interruption.

And thank you, social media, for not letting me forget that "The Simpsons" still very much exists.

My blogging staycation turned into more of a social media sabbatical, but so be it. "Twenty Ten" promises to be a banner year for Yours Truly, care of a long overdue online makeover. More on that in some coming posts, but first a bit of unfinished business from late last year.

Isn't this just the coolest info-graphic you've ever seen? At least I think it is. It was from a CNN.com article from Dec. 14, 2009 arguing whether "The Simpsons" franchise can last much longer. And while I scoffed to my Facebook friends that Mitch Albom cameos don't an animated comedic legacy make, it matters little to the millions of fans that will tune in tonight for the series' 450th episode, entitled "Once Upon a Time in Springfield."

Anyway, I meant to post this weeks ago, but was too busy being dragged away from my blog by my wife, bless her heart and holiday honey-do list. (That, and we had to catch up to tons of "Family Guy" on our TiVo.) Here's wishing another 20 years of health, happiness and humor to the citizens of Springfield and the entire Simpsons universe.

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
