HOMER SIMPSON
A devoted husband, Homer leaves his wife with few complaints. When pressed
however, Marge did once acknowledge to a marriage counselor that Homer
"forgets birthdays, anniversaries, holidays (both religious and secular),
chews with
his mouth open, hangs out at a seedy bar with bums and lowlifes, blows
his nose
in the towels and puts them back in the middle, and scratches himself with
his
keys." Despite these few foibles, Homer loves his family, and he'll do
just about
anything to prove it -- even if that means making himself look foolish.
Homer works at Springfield's nuclear power plant as a safety inspector,
a job he
secured after passing the specialized training course on his third attempt.
Once
during a strike, Homer's critical functions could be filled only by a brick
placed on
a lever. Homer was also voted Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Toxic Waste
Handler of the Month in October of 1990.
Homer's favorite book and/or pamphlet is "So, You've Decided to Steal Cable,"
which also happens to be the most recent book and/or pamphlet he has read.
When he's not reading, Homer enjoys drinking beer, at home or in a bar.
His
favorite haunts include Moe's Tavern, Greasy Joe's Bar-B-Q Pit, Gulp 'N'
Blow,
and The Frying Dutchman, which he almost put out of business on its "All
You
Can Eat Night." Since then, Homer's picture has hung in the restaurant,
where
he's known as "Bottomless Pete: Nature's Cruelest Mistake."
Sometimes frustrated at being fat and bald, Homer enjoys flashbacks now
and
again, which show him fat with a full head of hair. Two things, though,
always
remain constant for Homer, no matter what happens to him: his happy-go-lucky
nature and his love for Marge and his kids.
