Everything's Coming Up Armen

Today, for the first time since 9/11, the WTC episode of the Simpsons aired in syndication. I don't know if this is because UPN shows The Simpsons syndicated in the Bay Area or what, but I know that Fox had pulled that episode. I always thought it was a shame because it really is a great episode that has a lot of hat tips to the city. Now if THAT wasn't enough, the second episode of the day was the Armin Tamzarian fiasco (note, in the episode the name is actually pronounced Armen). This one is generally considered one of the crappiest episodes but I remain partial for obvious reasons.
Armin: My mind is made up!  I'm not coming back!  And that's final.

Edna: Oh, Seymour.
Armin: And I'm not Seymour. My name is Armin. This is Armin's apartment,
Armin's liquor, Armin's copy of "Swank", Armin's frozen peas.
Homer: Can I see your copy of "Swank", Armin?
Armin: Yes, you can. This is Armin's life, and maybe it's not perfect, but
at least I'm back where I belong. I was born a no-goodnik, and I'll
die a no-goodnik.

Bonus points if anyone recognizes the episode that also references the title of this post.

I call it! "Everything's coming up Milhouse!" And the episode is... "Bart's friend falls in love," I think.

Half right.

Milhouse: [stands in his room wearing pants with the cuffs rolled up. Groans] I hate these flood pants. [opens door and water comes in up to his ankles] Hey, they're working! My feet are soaked, but my cuffs are bone dry! Everything's comin' up Milhouse! -- Mom and Pop Art (when Homer gets into modern art and in the end decides to flood the city of Springfield.) :)
