So Springfield, VT is home to the Simpsons.....

[The Straight Story]

Maybe it was the maple donuts that tipped the scales in their favor. Mmmm, donuts.

Whatever it was, the township of Springfield, Vermont, was selected as the hometown of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, beating out 13 other Springfields across the country for the honor, which, among other choice bragging rights, allows the hamlet to host the world premiere of The Simpsons Movie.

And all the other contenders can eat their shorts.

With just 9,300 residents, the smallest of any of the entrants, the Vermont contingent won out after submitting a five-minute clip explaining why their Springfield—above and beyond namesake burgs in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and Tennessee—had the necessary amount of "Simpson Spirit" to host the premiere screening.

1. I can't wait for the movie!

I'm a Simpson-ophile.

Maybe I should put on my Chewbacca suit and wait in line for tickets. Oh wait, nevermind.
