In honor of QueueCumber's new Bart Simpson...

...which, dude, is phenomenally cool.

My question is: What were Bart dials called pre-"The Simpsons"?

Thanks!

No idea! I would love to know. I know some didn't have names. I'm not sure if that is the case with this one.

Billy idol Rocks. Seen him live and was amazed how good he is on the electric Guitar. I went to the festival not expecting to enjoy his show and ended up liking him the most.

In 2006 Pope Benedict almost took the name away from Bart, but last minute negotiations with Simpson's agent sealed the deal with the Rolex Board of Directors and the name sticks to this day.

I expect that to change soon as the Simpson's may sue for royalties :-)

I had a haircut like that once in the '80s. I probably shouldn't have told that........ On a dive ex in the Keys:
