Inexplicably, officials from both Glasgow and Aberdeen are arguing over which city Groundskeeper Willie (of the Simpsons, as if you didnt’ know) comes from, with entirely too much thinking behind their arguments.
Glasgow are using a quote from a 1997 episode as proof, in which the Groundskeeper says he’s ‘the ugliest man in Glasgow’, whilst Aberdeen are citing a dream of Willie’s in a 2003 for proof, where he was shown supporting Aberdeen’s football (soccer) team. For the record, we think Glasgow wins; you don’t have to live somewhere to support their sports teams.
In related (and strange) news, in 2005, a newspaper poll proved that Willie is the most recognisable Scot in the world. Yes, that means more recognisable than Ewan Mcgregor. Go figure.
