About
Barnard "Barney" Arnold Gumble is the Springfield town drunk, the most prominent of several alcoholic Springfieldians and Homer Simpson's high school friend, although they only keep acquainted companionship in the present. Being a frequent customer at Moe's (to the point of sleeping there) Barney considers Moe to be his best friend; however, he is often abused in the process, mainly due to Moe's personality. Barney was an A-student back at Springfield High, but lost it all due to the alcohol and is since then seen as a disgrace by his whole family, none of whom drinks. Barney is beileved to be Nelson Muntz. Here is the theory: After Nelson's jerk-iness he grew up to be a loser. He bullied Frink to build him a time machine it failed and Nelson (as Barney) go sliced in half and each part was transported. Nelson (as Nelson) gave a pink belly, forgeting his mission. Barney (as Nelson but in a form of Barney) forgot his mission after his SIXTH beer.
