I come to you now in the hour of my greatest need...
I haven't posted in forever, and I'm only kind of sorry for that... I post about once a month at the Scarecrow blog (www.scarecrow.com), but I do need the help of a community of great minds right now.
So you know that episode of the Simpsons where Mrs.Hoover tells Ralph Wiggum to go to sleep, and he says "Sleep! That's where I'm a viking!" My friend recently had a debate with a stranger about the meaning of the sentence. The stranger, who I agree with, understood the line to mean that Ralph often dreams of being a viking. My friend believes it to mean that sleep is something at which Ralph can excel, as in he's really good at sleeping. Apparently there are other people out there who agree with that interpretation. What do you all think?
