Thanks to Meg's enthusiastically repeated reminiscence, every time I hear Idiotheque it reminds me of G-School dances. But I've never been to a GSSM dance, or even seen the campus before. So what image is it that comes to mind? The grease party at the end of the Simpsons episode, Lard Of The Dance.

% In the gymnasium, the children look up to see tiny flakes falling from one of the vents; it's grease, being cut into pieces by the fan blades.

Martin: Look! It's snowing!
Ralph: [catching a flake of grease on his tounge] This snowflake tastes like fish sticks!

% The children enjoy the distraction, until screams are heard echoing from places unknown. It's Willie, Bart, and Homer, who each crash into the gym in a sea of grease, pouring out of three separate air ducts onto the floor. Milhouse picks up some and tastes it, while Nelson starts having fun throwing it around.

Milhouse: It's like a hamburger milkshake!
Nelson: Here comes a greaseball!
Luigi: [walking in] Hey! Luigi bring-a you kids-a free pizza! Why do you hafta make-a the fun, huh?
