i dont know another simpsons quote and i dont remember any specific simpsons episode but i remember the moment he said that and how gd funny it was. truly the pinnacle of the simpsons legacy.
Normally, I get ready to write something to disagree with the ugly comments. That is kinda ugly. Maybe it's the pink. It might be kewl if it were the laptop of a 13 y/o girl with a barbie fetish. I was giving some thought to using leaf to dress up my rig. It has gotten scratches and worn from moving around in my pack. I was thinking maybe silver or gold leaf. I think it would look nice. Some might disagree, but That is just my thought. The market is really short on off the shelf options to deal with a worn laptop shell. If you know of an attractive alternative, please feel free to let me know.
man get a neoprene sleeve for your laptop, its like a thin layered gel case, doesnt add much bulk size or weight but protects your laptop when it matters most (in transport) http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Neoprene-Notebook-Laptops-97763/dp/B0000DZFVT theres an example for a 17" size. You don't need to make yourself look like you have 100 loose marbles when its not in transport by 12 yr old girling your laptop.
Engadget's quote was a reference to the LOLcat image that paraphrased the Simpsons quote. The phrase "The goggles... they do nothing!" is used on forums across the internet, most notably, Fark.
Now the great "As seen on TV" gadget is available for techies, too!* Bedazzle your laptop! Bedazzle your plasma television! You can Bedazzle anything at CES! You can even Bedazzle Veronica Belmont!**
*Not sold in stores. **Veronica Belmont may not allow you to bedazzle her, no matter how hard you try. Bedazzler should not be used by children, adults, or anyone with a sense of style, taste, or decency. Bedazzler should not be used while intoxicated. Always keep Bedazzler away from open flames and open flamers. Caution: Excessive Bedazzling may be a sign of mental instability, Alzheimer's disease, social disorders, or color-blindness. Bedazzler is illegal in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Florida.

oh my God, ist that a penis in the left bottom corner!?
Garst @ Jan 10th 2008 3:26AM
I don't know what that is, but it's safe to say it's not a penis.
Wwhat @ Jan 10th 2008 4:29AM
Also safe to say that if you see a penis in it you just might need some minor counselling, or medication.
L.Cyphre @ Jan 10th 2008 4:40AM
@Wwhat
Why? It's not my fault the Japanese like to draw penises on their laptops.

LOL LOL! i love that comment,
" the goggles!! they do nothing!!"
one of the funniest scenes of a simpson episode..Rainier Wolfcastle FOREVERRRRRRRRR!
Balazs Hollos @ Jan 10th 2008 12:19PM
Shame the quote is miss-quoted. It is actually "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!". There is no 'they' in there. Oh well.
Gotta love McBain though!

ZeroCorpse @ Jan 10th 2008 2:56PM
Another reason why Fark is a den of stupidity and xenophobic losers who hide behind net IDs to be as awful to each other as possible.
If you want to be misinformed and abused by netizens, try Something Awful instead. Much funnier.
