What is the world they used in the Simpsons when they are at the carnival and they want to call [basically shenanigans] on the Carnie? What is the word they used? I don't think it was shenanigans. I can't remember.

I swear I'm thinking of The Simpsons. There was a code word.... I thought it wasn't shenanigans, but maybe I'm wrong. This is really eating away at me.

Whenever I think of Carnies 'Hey Rube' always comes to mind.

This episode? I don't remember a certain "term," and didn't see anything in a brief review of the episode...

I thought the trivla question was going to be this.

Mono = 1
Rail = ?

Mono means one ... and rail means rail. And that concludes our intensive three-week course.

In the Simpsons show with carnies, they referred to getting grifted by them. Or that they were grifters. Been a while since I've seen it.

I gotta bust out the old seasons one of these days. Those Conan seasons in the early 90s were pure gold.

I went through his wiki page the other day and looked at the episodes he wrote. I think 7 or 8 of my top 10 were Conan. Those were the glory days of The Simpsons.

Back in HS a few of us used to get together and watch it and havea few beers.

Then they moved it to Thursday night I think to help other shows. That didnt work out too well.

It's probably the Carnie Code that someone else described to you.

Or, it's the South Park episode. At least you know what episode you're looking for. Youtube it or something.

I dont think there is an answer. I almost think that he has the wrong show.

The do talk about grifters and being grifted and the carnie code.

Sorry, but I don't know where to go to watch TV shows online, save Netflix. and I'm at work, so it's not like I can watch The Simpsons right now.

Most people would agree that the show lost it's touch over the past 5+ years but I've been watching this season and both (I think they're at only two so far) episodes have been great.
I fell in love with Netflix instant streaming when they released several seasons of the Wonder Years (you're welcome if you didn't know that) but if they ever release The Simpsons on there then I'll probably go underground for a week or two watching them.
