                               ``Ay, ay, ay!  No me gusta!  Ay, es grande!''
                                                              - Chespirito
 
Although Chespirito may not be the Spanish bee guy's real name, it seems to
be the name that stuck with alt.tv.simpsons denizens.  Jose Javier from San
Juan, Puerto Rico was kind enough to point out the origins of the real
Chespirito (for the purpose of this list, I have edited his letter):
 
  Roberto Gomez BolaNos, a.k.a "Chespirito", is a well known comedian in
  Mexico.  His fame came with the TV shows "El Chapulin Colorado" (The Red
  Grasshopper) and "El Chavo del Ocho" (The Kid from the 8th.).
 
  Both shows were made at the Televisa studios, and ran for almost ten year
  with great ratings in all Latin-America.  No longer made, the re-runs are
  being shown in most Latin audiences including the USA.
 
  "El Chapulin Colorado" was a parody of classic heroes like Superman.  With
  a red grasshopper costume and very dull reflexes, he defends justice in his
  own style and always won because he has the courage to defy all the bad
  people with his big heart (that's why the yellow heart in his chest ). His
  most common phrases were: "Siganme los buenos!" ("Follow me, good ones!")
  and "No contaban con mi astucia!" ("They don't count with my Astuteness").
