Suppose, just suppose there were a Simpsons Tarot. Who would be who? I'd put Homer as the Fool and Marje the Empress. Moe would have to be the Devil. Smithers could be the Hanged Man 'cos he's a bit of a martyr, and lives in a state of suspense hoping Mr. Burns will love him back. Any other ideas?

i love the simpsons!... perhaps bart as the magician... i also think burns could be the devil...

I can see the Christian neighbor (forget his name) as the Hierophant Maggie as the Fool - Marge as the Empress Bart - Knight of Wands Homer - The lovers Lisa - High Priestess Burns - Devil (Definately) 7 eleven dude - Temperance That was fun - thanks

The Tower: an accident at the nuclear plant

HudsonGray	06 Nov 2003
Justice - Police chief Wiggams King of Pents - Comic book guy 7 of Swords - Fat Tony & gang Temperance - Principal Skinner Queen of Swords - Mrs. Cra-Bopple Knight of Pents - Milhouse But where would Patty & Selma fit in? Who is Strength?

:TSTRE Strength would be (I forget his name) the school Maintenance man, Scotts accent. :TJUDG Patti and Selma would both be on the Judgement card. :TMOON Santa's Little Helper and the three eye'd fish would both be on the Moon card. :T9C Homer would be on the 9 of cups sitting in front of a table with 9 cans of Duff :TAC Ace of cups would be a can of Duff :TTOW The Tower would be the Springfield Nuclear power plant during a meltdown. This sure is fertile ground! Woof

TemperanceAngel	07 Nov 2003
I agree with the Tower as the nuclear power plant indeedy doody. Flanders would definately have to be the Devil or maybe Reverend Lovejoy, a bit of a toss up there. Homer = The Hanged Man Lisa = Hierophant Marge = Temperance Otto = Three of cups Sideshow Bob = Seven of Swords Bart = hmmmmm....the Wheel of Fortune? It's a tough one Grandpa wishes he was the Hermit hee hee Kent Brockman = Four of Pentacles gosh you could go on forever....... XTAX

Bean Feasa	07 Nov 2003
Otto as the Chariot - of course, why didn't I think of that! I actually think Mr. Burns could be the Magician - after all at one point he tried to block out the sun. I'd cast Rev. Lovejoy as the Hierophant. And poor Cousin Merle and some family member of his would be the 5 of Pentacles. Nelson = 5 of Swords... and I agree... Chief Wiggum would have to be Justice. Love the idea of Mrs. Krabopple as the Queen of Swords. I think Bleedin' Gums could be Judgement 'cos in one episode he plays to Lisa from out of the sky. And I'd nominate Barney Gumbo for Strength 'cos in later episodes he tames the lion of his alcoholism. But the High Priestess worries me, don't think there's anyone in the series up to the job!

Woof	07 Nov 2003
:THP High Priestess: for some reason I see Maggie here. I just think she knows more than she lets on. She must have some really good secrets! Woof

Bean Feasa	07 Nov 2003
Of course - the silence, and yet she always seems to understand everything (like scrabbling to get out of the car when she hears that Selma wants a baby, heh-heh) Good one Woof!

HudsonGray	07 Nov 2003
Hew! What about Kang & Kodos? Judgement maybe? They're always trying to take over the world in those Halloween episodes. Hmm, 3 of Swords--Comic Book Guy? Abu & his wife as 2 of Cups? Or them & the whole family as 10 of Cups, though they're not always so happy about the 8 kids. Snowball II should be with the 3 eyed fish on the Moon card, opposite Santa's Little Helper, remember there's two figures at the edge of the pond.

Mayor Quimby - the Emperor. Or the King of Wands (ahem!)

HudsonGray	10 Nov 2003
Good one! The bully kid who says "HA ha" as the Page of Wands. Milhouse = 2 of Wands? He's always waiting, but things never happen right for him. I can see him perpetually standing there looking out at the world. Doc Hibbard as 3 of Pentacles? He's good in his profession.

"fool - the viewer" Teehee! Good one, paradoxx. That makes me one of the biggest fools around, I'm afraid. I think the world could be the brothel-madam - you know the one who does the can-can and 'puts the Spring in Springfield' And maybe the Lovers could be Selma and Troy McClure

Alissa	11 Nov 2003
omg paradoxxx ... that was an EXCELLENT list. i've been lurking on this thread, of course, and am a huge Simpsons fan. Some of the most saavy humor on tv, as far as im concerned. anyhow, that was a REALLY good list. I love Otto and the school bus as the Chariot. Alissa does her best Otto imitiation, "Whoa ho, hang on back there kiddies!"

TemperanceAngel	13 Nov 2003
Sorry folks my dark humour keeps leading me to Flanders or Reverend Lovejoy as the Devil....tee heee.... But what about Lenny and Carl? Maybe they could be the Star and the Moon? XTAX

... and Grandpa could be the old man on the 10 pentacles, in the RW deck.

TemperanceAngel	13 Nov 2003
Or would Patty and Selma be the lovers. Troy McClure as the Hanged Man? XTAX
