something like "Chris Beelmen a tonia Jesus Christ". I'm not sure about
the "ia" in "tonia", but looking at some runes charts it was the best fit.

http://www.ece.cx/simpsons/episodes/BABF18.htmlCan anyone decipher the Runic alphabet message at the end of tonight's episode, in the Gothic scene where Homer is chained down on an altar and Becky was going to stab him? Answers Lawrence Nyveen: Yes.They are a real alphabet, called Elder Futhark - Elder because they are an older form of Futhark, and Futhark because this alphabet starts: F U (TH) A R K .... Now, I happen to know Futhark. The runes, letter by letter are as follows, with X denoting an indecipherable or ambiguous letter (like the way my handwritten small "v" is often mistaken for "r" XHRIS BOLMEX A TANXA IESUS XHRIST Now, IESUS is Jesus, since there's no Futhark for J. The X in front of XHRIS and XHRIST are the same sign, which can be interpreted as C (in fact, it looks like a Futhark C, with an extra leg). The X at the end of BOLMEX is either an N or G. The X in TANXA is completely foreign to me. It's looks a bit like a backwards Futhark L, but whatever letter it is, that's not an English word. So now we have CHRIS BOLME(N/G) A TANXA JESUS CHRIST A quick look at the credits of the show reveals that one of the background artists is Chris Bolden. Mystery solved, even if his Futhark is a little shaky - he mixed up the signs for M and D, which are similar, but he used the wrong one. Final Answah CHRIS BOLDEN A TAN-A JESUS CHRIST It's up to you to guess the meaning, though ....
