Simpsons References for Moms #6

"Even running is a kind of dance"

Usage:
1) directly, referring to running and how it is a kind of dance
2) more commonly, by replacing "running" with any action (eg. Even going to Chile is a kind of dance), for comedic effect esp. if an individual performing the action is in an anxious state of mind.

Reference to:
Season 13 episode 15 ("Blame it on Lisa") in which the Simpsons go to Brazil. Homer is kidnapped and they come upon Carnival in Rio but Marge is too busy worrying to dance but,

Brazilian: You cannot run from Carnival, because even running is a kind of dance! Another Brazilian: (in flames) I am on FIRE and I dance!
Marge: Well maybe I can dance and worry at the same time.

Other quotes from this episode:

Dance Instructor: This is where we invented the Lambada and the Macarena. We are now developing our most powerful dance, the Penetrada! It makes sex look like a church.

Renaldo: Now the monkeys cannot bite me! I am like sugar to them!

Homer: Why did you make a prank call to Brazil, boy?
Bart: But I didn't!
Homer: (Yelling) Choke on your lies!

Lisa: Why must you fight with every utility?
Homer: I told you, I have too much time on my hands!

Homer: Wait, wait, wait, so in August it's cold?
Lisa: That's right.
Homer: And in February, it's hot?
Lisa: Mm-hm.
Homer: So it's opposite land! Crooks chase cops, cats have puppies!
Lisa: No, Dad, it's just the weather.
Homer: So hot snow falls up?

Pilot: This is your captain speaking. The local temperature in Rio de Janeiro is hot hot hot! With 100% chance of passion!
Co-Pilot: You make that joke every time!
