Groundskeeper+Willie



=GROUNDSKEEPER WILLIE=

Groundskeeper Willie is probably the only person in Springfield who has named his own spade, Agnes. Willie simply doesn’t like people. His job is at Springfield Elementary school as a groundkeeper. It has been his job as long as Seymour Skinner has been principal, witch is 20 years. Willie is not a very glamorous type. He is seen with red hair, beard and overgrown eyebrows. This man’s opinion is that “manners are for bath-taking, underpants-wearing, lily-huggers.” Willie is original from «North kilt-town» in Scotland and came to Springfield as an immigrant. Of course the stubborn old man has saved his thick Scottish accent and a rocky, desolate life.

Every little sign of danger or trouble in Springfield, you will find an angry Willie. He is always ready to rip off his shirt and hurl his muscular body into the nearest fight. This groundskeeper is the first person you will see in the front of every protest parade. He doesn’t always start the conflicts, but he really fires them up. The idea of just sitting down and relax with a cup of tea is absolutely not an option!

Sometimes by watching this crazy Scot I start to wonder, “Can Matt Groening have made a person so evil?” And the answer is yes, what you see is what you get. Groundkeeper Willie is a surly, gruff, hot-tempered sort of character; besides being the regular ground keeping at Springfield Elementary. He spends his time chasing stray dogs through the air vents and a bit French teaching in his own sensitive way: “Bonjour, you cheese-eating surrender-monkeys.” Willies biggest love is at this time his tractor. People in Springfield have heard Willie say "Ach, my beauty! Were it not a violation of God's law, I'd make you me wife!" but air is thick with rumours about Willies earlier fiancée, a magical British nanny. Since she dumped him Willie has spent his time secretly videotaping couples in their cars. Beside his spade and tractor Groundskeeper Willie has a cousin in his family, Gravedigger Billy. Of course Willie doesn’t like his cousin very much. Gravedigger Billy apparently has the same feelings and once pushed his cousin into an open grave. Groundskeeper Willie maybe seems a bit risky, but he is completely harmless.
