Some people have a lot of time on their hands.

Last night The Simpsons episode was "Lisa the Vegetarian", my favorite episode of all. I just love everything about it. I even got a little choked up at the end, as the pig flew across the screen to "Maybe I'm Amazed". Anyway, I wanted to read more about it, so I went to The Simpsons Archive for that episode.

I can't believe that people actually listened to the ending credits enough times to get this:

"Lentil soup recipe

Several readers managed to piece together the lentil soup recipe Paul speaks backwards over "Baby I'm Amazed" during the closing credits. Tom Collins lists it as:

- one medium onion, chopped
- two tablespoons of vegetable oil
- one clove of garlic, crushed
- one cup of carrots, chopped
- two sticks of celery, chopped
- half a cup of lentils
- one bay leaf
- one tablespoon of freshly-chopped parsely
- salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
- two and a quarter cups of vegetable stock or water

At the end, it sounds as though Paul says, "Oh, and by the way, I'm alive," no doubt trying to quell the rumors about his death."


First off, the title is "Maybe I'm Amazed". Secondly - you people are obsessed! I thought I was strange for having certain quotes memorized, but these people are WAY more into it.
