If you’re like me, and you’re chock full of Simpsons knowledge and trivia, you find yourself attached to Simpsons’ Valentines ideas. Whether you favor Bart’s painted conversation hearts (bite me, etc) or Lisa’s punny valentines to Ralph Wiggum, there is something to treasure about the way the Simpsons do Valentine’s day.
Last year, WoDM found a replica of the “Choo Choo Choose You” card and laid it on me for Valentines. It is among my most treasured gifts – mostly because the flowers died and the fudge went right to my thighs. haha, rhyme-y. My attempts to find the bee card (“Let’s Bee Friends”) Lisa gave Ralph and my somewhat obscure personal favorite have been for naught [ED note: WoDM informs me that "Let's Bee Friends" is in fact, available.]
The episode, called “I’m With Cupid,” is from Season 10. Apu is showering Manjula with gifts for Valentine’s day, to make up for working all the time. Marge expresses desire for the same treatment to Homer while they lay in bed. Homer assures Marge he has it taken care of, and she makes some snide comment about the monkey card she found on the floor of the car. Homer panics.
Earlier in the episode, we see Homer at the Kwik-E-Mart, perusing Valentines and stumbling onto the monkey one. “You’re A-peeling, Let’s Never Split” it says, and because it’s been forever since I’ve seen the episode, I don’t remember more than that and an illustration of monkeys and a banana.
Here’s my attempt to recreate the message of the card, since I can’t recall the exact design of the card.
