The Simpson's quote

It's been twice that it has been archived that OpAphid as said the following impsons quote:

"I have a ball. Perhapse you would like to bounce it?"

(i thin i have it right there)

anyways...i think there is some significance to this.

This quote is from Season Six, Episode 1f17 > Lisa's Rival:
When a new student, Alison, joins Lisa's class, she finds herself competing with the new girl to become the biggest achiever in the class. Meanwhile, Homer discovers an overturned truck filled with sugar. He takes off with the sugar and sells it door-to-door. Lisa visits Allison's house, where she finds she is even more average when compared to her. Bart offers to sabotage Allison's entry in the school diorama contest, replacing a scene of "The Telltale Heart" with a box containing a cows heart. The school shuns upon Allison's heart, but feeling guilty, Lisa "finds" her real diorama and saves her from embarassment. The judges felt that not Lisa's nor Allison's project deserved to win, as Skinner picked Ralph for his Action Figures display. Lisa and Allison settle their differences and become friends.

anyways I've posts a message in the IC board to Op. And I think people are messaging her on youtube right now. But I would like some opinions.

The quote is a part of a conversation concerning anagrams. Do you think it has something to do with the nagrams? could it be an anagram?

what are peoples opinions.

For the record, i've emailed her about it on YT.
Alright Op, i've noticed once again the simpsons reference you made in the email to Katz31. What is up with the simpsons references? Is the "i have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?" an anagram of some sort? Is Alec Guiness, Genuinly Classy? or is Jeremy Irons, Jeremy's Iron? throw me a bone.
Love Glory285
here's her likely response, according to kelly
she'll reply with something stupid like..fetch doggy fetch
Don't dissapoint me Oppy!

I think it might have significance since she has repeated it at least twice. I don't remember who the other person was , but has anyone else received this message?

Its just an awsome insult. Older person casually insulting a "smart" younger person. Just oppy being oppy.

That's funny cause I highly doubt Op is older than me!

I think it's a show of Op still being willing to give us tough love when we need and cut us down to size in a clever way.

Personally I am afraid to even think about all the great emails people haven't posted here. I would think she receives and writes a lot of them each day.
