Last night, while watching reruns of the Simpsons' I caught an entirely different episode where Tarot cards are used!! I can't be the only one who knows about this too... (and of course I could barely restrain myself from pushing my husband outta the computer chair so I could get on AT to talk about it!) It was the Halloween episode (seems like it was either 7 or 12, I remember II at the end) and the first "short" shows the whole Simpson family walking in to see a fortune teller. A short conversation ensues, before Homer catches on fire (literally) and runs around catching the fortune teller's place on fire. "Oh! Why didn't I see this coming?" wails the fortune teller, who has three Tarot cards before her. The first two cards we see close up next. :D They're "The Flaming Jerk" and "The Cursed Gypsie." :D Wonder if these two cards will be showing up in a deck any time soon too? ;)

:laugh: at this rate, there's going to be a whole Simpsons-inspired deck one day!

OMG! sooo funny! the flaming jerk! wonder what that third card was? could it have been the happy squirrel??

Surely there must already be a Simpson's deck in the making out there, somewhere...

Quote: ...wonder what that third card was? could it have been the happy squirrel?? (Alissa giggles) Well, I think that's a darn good guess! Situation : The Flaming Jerk Advice : The Cursed Gypsie Outcome : The Happy Squirrel And, the gypsie did stand up and walk out of her booth, which was still on fire, with a tired, disgusted air about her. There was a Simpsons' deck thread for fun I remember long ago ... Otto was the Chariot. :D

I've mentioned these ones before in other threads :) It's actually the Ruined Gypsy. Heh.

Here's a link :) : http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18853&highlight=simpsons

Thanks for the link Bean Feasa! I remembered it wasn't too terribly old, glad you dug it up too. And thank you for the correction Dead Star. I was working from memory... and in my brain, that can be a downright scary proposition..... ;)

LMAO!!!!! OMG I haven't seen that one!! That is freakin HILARIOUS!!! :D

The Flaming Jerk... should be a major I'd say. I know I'd use it. Wonder what number you'd assign the Flaming Jerk in the majors? :D Twenty three? Twenty two for the Happy Squirrel and 23 for the Flaming Jerk?

ros	06 May 2004
I think the Happy Squirrel should not have number & the Flaming Jerk a number like 87. (the number opposite of the 78 cards & doesn't really fit in)

Alissa	06 May 2004
:D Brilliant solution ros~!!! :D The Ruined Gypsy I can live without.....
