“The "J" in Homer J. Simpson, Bartholomew J. Simpson, Abraham J. Simpson, et al- Reference to Bullwinkle J. Moose and therefore, by proxy, Jay Ward. Homer's middle initial stands for "Jay".” Interesting. I’ve always assumed it referred to O.J. Simpson. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahruman (talk • contribs) 18:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

Oh, the common misconception. Matt Groening did not grow up in Eugene, nor did he attend college there. He grew up in Portland, and went to Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. He may have named Principal Skinner after the butte there, but it wasn't a memory from college or childhood per se.
