Comic Book Guy's real name...[edit]

Wow, I'm surprised that in the "trivia" or other sections, this episode description makes NO mention of something of significance to Simpsons fans: the identification of the REAL name of "Comic Book Guy". From "his" article here on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Book_Guy#Name) "A long-running gag on the show was never to reveal the character's name, with other characters referring to him as "Comic Book Guy". Finally, in the February 6, 2005 episode, "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass," Comic Book Guy nonchalantly told Ned Flanders, "My name is Jeff Albertson, but everyone calls me 'Comic Book Guy'" " 199.214.26.226 (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this needs a huge remark. --ElTio (talk) 08:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The B-story doesn't exist.[edit]

On FOX Series (NileSat), the B-story doesn't exist. I think this should be added to the page, but I'm not sure where. Tarkaan (talk) 10:17, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is that possible? The two intersect at the end. Wimpyguy (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Judaeo-Christian name"?[edit]

Could nobody think of "forename", "first name", etc? I don't think it's necessarily the case that first-names were invented by Christians, or indeed Jews. The phrase is "Christian name" and comes from a time when religion had more authority. There are plenty of alternatives, refer to any form you might fill in for some ideas.

Is this part of some subtle religious Simpsons war going on undercover on this site? There's a few wierdnesses in this regard that I've noticed.
