LISA DENTON: Barry, I’m thinking I might show up Saturday for the Battle at the River at the Tivoli. I know they have Bodybuilding, Figure and Bikini Championships, but I thought I could start a new category: Flaccid. If they give out awards for “One of These Things Is Not Like the Others,” I’m certain I can bring home a trophy.

BARRY COURTER: Have I told you about my once-vibrant modeling career? I made a good living as a “before” model. You can guess why it ended, but that reminds me that it is Donut Day at Cambridge Square in Ooltewah on Friday.

LISA: Mmmm, doughnuts. As Homer Simpson would say, “Is there anything they can’t do?”

By the way, BuzzFeed has a Simpsons quiz to see if you’re more like Bart or Lisa. I got Lisa, but I knew I would. Which is so Lisa. Although, honestly, at this point, I’m not sure if I’m talking about her or myself. I wonder if people with multiple personalities ever have personalities with the same name.

BARRY: There’s a party in your head all the time, isn’t there?
