Team Discovery Channel

[lucien2]

Am I the only one who snorts his milk when I hear this name? Did they not ever watch the Simpsons?

 

[artmichalek]

No, you're not alone.

 

[lucien2]

uh oh. You wouldn't be suggesting that this is a topic that has already been discussed to death that I, as an unwitting n00b, have dumbly re-introduced, are you?

 

[artmichalek]

I'm suggesting that you're not the only one who snorts their milk when they hear the name.

 

[RC2]

OK I'm the dumb guy (and/or don't watch the Simpsons)... care to share your joke with the rest of the class?

In the classic "Lemon Tree" episode, the kids conspire to steal Shelbyville's natural landmark. Bart divieds them up into strike teams, with names like "Team Alpha" etc.. Martin declares his to be "Team Discovery Channel!!" much to Nelson's consternation. This is all from 10 years ago or so.
