Got a Simpsons quote of some sort going through your head today? Maybe you ran into a situation that was exactly like something that happened to Lenny? Can't share it with the people around you because they won't appreciate on as many levels as you do? You're not alone brothers and sisters! Share your perfectly cromulent stories here; we'll understand.
ETA: Marge, look at me! We've been apart for a day, and I'm as dirty as a Frenchman. In a couple more hours I'll be dead.

"I am so smart. So very, very smart. S-m-r-t...I mean S-m-a-r-r-t."
For the days I feel like a total boob.

"Iron helps us play!"
Not sure which one of Flanders' kids said it, but I know it always cracks me up when I think of it.

Two Homer faves:
"They have the internet on computers now?" And when considering buying a matter-transporter: "Naah...it only transports matter."

"It makes no difference who you vote for... either way your planet is doooooomed!!!!!" Plus the follow-up "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos."
I'm not sure if it's a bad sign that most of my friends have no problem with the usage of "cromulent" in semi-normal conversation. One co-worker uses the "S-m-r-t" quote fairly often also.

While watching Jon Stewart on Larry King a few week ago all I could think of was.
Hollis: I see you got a case of Jebeditis.
Lisa: Just as I was getting over my Chester A. Arthritis.
Hollis: You had Arthritis?
Lisa *uncomfortable/quiet voice*: no...

Everytime I'm in a store (usually in Best Buy at the TV Shows DVD section) and I'm debating whether or not I should purchase something, I always hear Flanders saying to me "Simpson, I order you to buy those shoes!"

Everytime I feed my fish....
"Why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?"
on a different note I use this quote and meld it to fit any situation by replacing the word "vest"
"He's like a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a vest."

I always think of Apu's rant to Principal Skinner re: "Billy and the Cloneasaurus" whenever someone says something stupid to me...which is far too often.
Apu: Oh, you have got to be kidding sir. First you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like. Didn't you think this through...[later]...was on the bestseller list for eighteen months! Every magazine cover had...[later]...most popular movies of all time, sir! What were you thinking?! I mean, thank you, come again.

"Trying is the first step toward failure." My personal favorite Simpsons quote . . . I quoted in my highschool yearbook as well, even though the school didn't appreciate it

Lately I can't watch the trailer for "V for Vendetta" without saying "Vendetta! Vendetta!" like Bob's baby did in the episode where The Simpsons went to Italy.
"'But reckless spending and interracial homoeroticism were just volume one of the encyclopedia self-destructica" is a good one too, but much harder to use in real life.

Homer: "Life is just one crushing blow after another until you just wish Flanders was dead."
Will Homer's well of optimism ever run dry?
If we can include just single words, "Boourns" and "Craptacular" have become part of my vocabulary. I don't even think they are odd to say anymore, to me they are perfectly cromulent words.

Lately I can't watch the trailer for "V for Vendetta" without saying "Vendetta! Vendetta!" like Bob's baby did in the episode where The Simpsons went to Italy.
Me too! My brother started doing it and now it's stuck in my head.
One of my all-time favorite Homer quotes, that's been on repeat for a few days:
Plant psychiatrist: You hate your father, don't you?
Homer: Yeah, but the guy I really hate is your father.
Plant psychiatrist: I...shouldn't have said anything, I was just venting.ETA: I just remembered the best Simpsons quotage ever, by one of my cousins. Once we were all out at my grandfather's, and as I was driving away, my cousin yelled after me 'Put it in H!'. Fortunately I didn't hear him, because I probably would have driven into something and still have been laughing.
My brother's been staying with me for a while, and whenever I'm ragging on him about something, he'll shake his head and throw out 'Rawr rawr, no one understands you, She Bear!'

Sure, I might offend a few of the blue-noses with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about 'What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?' "

One of my favorite Homer & Marge exchanges...
Marge: Have you noticed any change in Bart?
Homer: New glasses?
Marge: No...he looks like something might be disturbing him.
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses.
Marge: I guess we could get more involved in Bart's activities but then I'd be afraid of smothering him.
Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair.
Marge: That's not what I meant.
Homer: It was, Marge, admit it.

I can recite the full monologue of "Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You Know What" by heart. Yes, I am that pathetic.
One of my favorites is when Mr Burns as a crush on Marge:
Marge: I'm going to sue the pants off of you!
Burns: You don't have to sue me to get my pants off. (Growls)
That episode is so old, yet I always laugh when I hear it.

This is by far not my favorite quote, but when the voice gets stuck in my head, I can't get it out:
From "Dr. Marvin Monroe's Subliminal Vocabulary Builder" tape: "The cow... was slaughtered... in the abatoir." Anytime anyone mentions a word that's even remotely similar to abatoir, that's the quote I spit out.
Also, Apu: "Oh, I can't believe you don't shut up."
