[Krusty]

Some very good ideas. I've been a fan of your spin-of and I like these ideas.

[archonix]

Jake, please take this in the spirit it is intended.

Instead of wasting yoru energy coming up with 600-odd short paragraph ideas that, to be brutally frank, are getting more and more mediocre, why not concentrate on writing a few good scripts. You know, just for a change.

[Dagdamor]

Commisar Geranovich
He did. What about "Before Marge" and "Virtual Lisa"? And something new and unusual will never be needless, I think. Moreover, I liked some episode ideas P.S. This is just my IMHO.

[c_nordlander]

We *do* remember "Before Marge". I liked it. That's why I, too, want to see a new script, rather than, no offence, 600+ ideas which by all accounts will never be written.

[Matt]

Jake, Are you not a member of No Homers Club?

[EvilCupcake]

We *do* remember "Before Marge". I liked it. That's why I, too, want to see a new script, rather than, no offence, 600+ ideas which by all accounts will never be written.

I have offerd to covert his ideas into scripts. He has, at the time of writing this, not replied.

[Matt]

600+ scripts!? Jake, how long have you been writing? 600+ scripts will never be wrote. *I seen the air dates too, on your website, 2036? Jake, these will never be wrote. I agree with Commisar Geranovich, instead of wrting 600 short storys, write a couple of some long storys.*
