Obligatory Simpsons Reference

2006-06-08T17:37:40Z in community

I'm certain that for every brouhaha in the Geospatial community there is a parallel kerfuffle in The Simpsons. First there was MapServer Cheetah/Enterprise. Now, my question is this: does the GeoRSS episode more resemble the conflict in "Mr. Plow" (9F07) or that in "Flaming Moe" (8F08)? Discuss.

Sorry, James, Brian: I couldn't find any images of the Plow King or any good ones of a Flaming Homer/Moe.

Thanks, James, but there will be no Aerosmith on this blog. I'm beginning to think that the parallel to "Flaming Moe" is stronger. Multiple the flavors of GeoRSS (W3C, simple, GML) by the flavors of RSS (1.0, 2.0, Atom, etc) and you have a cocktail as complex as Homer's original.

if we go with the "Flaming Moe" analogy, will the original GeoRSS proponents end up ruining it for the OGC by freely disclosing all of it’s secrets in the future (albeit, not from the wooden rafters of a bar) :) here’s my clipart picks: (Sean, please don’t forget the Gabo reference as quality clipart) I like this Mr Plow pic since all the intertwined characters are present http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d1/Mr_Plow.gif/150px-Mr_Plow.gif as for Flaming Moe: http://uloc.nerdtank.org/screenshots/8/8f08_flaming_moe.jpg
