Lets see if y'all can help me. Me and my buddy are having an argument about the Simpson's intro. We know that for each episode the blackboard changes, but what about the scanner? According to his girlfriend it supposedly always says NRA4Ever when Maggie is scanned. I say that it also changes every episode. Anyone know?

On one of the Simpsons clip shows, it stops it and it clearly reads NRA4EVER on it.

Hey man you wouldn't know the name of that episode would you? Or maybe an ep number? Also my buddy is saying what about for every other episode? Any info on that?

Announcer: In the opening credits, what does the cash register say when
Maggie is scanned?
The cash register says, "NRA4EVER", just one of the hundreds
of radical right-wing messages inserted into every show by
creator Matt Groening.

Mexicanonabike beat me to the link by10 minutes. snpp.com is the most exhaustive Simpsons site anywhere.

I think the NRA4EVER is a one time gag and not necessarily the truth. You'll have to dig deeper I'm afraid. I seem to remember seeing "no sale" in an opening once. Good luck.

hmm... I have season 4 on dvd, I could play it frame by frame and show you a screen.

--edit--

Ok, I chose a few episodes at random off of the Season 4 discs. Each one of them says $847.63 when you slow it down.

I believe at one time, $847.63 was an estimated monthly expense for baby care.

See, these are the things that make me love The Simpsons.

I think I may just go out and buy seasons 1 - 6 on DVD for a personal Christmas present.
