- The sign above Pricess Opal's place:
  "Princess Opal / Potions, Hexes, and Fax Machine"

- Re Aunt Gladys Bouvier: there's a last-name inconsistency here.  Patty and
  Selma's last name is Bouvier, as is their mother's, of course.  But their
  mother is MARRIED, so presumably she took her husband's last name when she
  married.  So how come Jackie's SISTER's last name is Bouvier?  It should be
  whatever Marge's Mother's maiden name was.

  This could be resolved if Jackie's maiden name was Bouvier and by coincidence
  she married a man with the same last name, OR Jackie could have kept her
  maiden name when she married.  But why would her daughters take her name and
  not their fathers?

- "Springfield Sperm Bank / Est. 1858 / Put Your Sperm In Our Hands".  1858?!

- The magazine cover: "Springfield Sperm Bank / 101 Frozen Pops / Monthly
  Edition".  Note the pun on "orgasm" = "Pop".  And of the three men on the
  cover of the magazine, one was Troy McClure, another was Dr. John Frink (or
  was that Fink? :->)

- Stuntman Lance Murdoch is on the TV commercial behind Lisa when Lisa's asking
  Selma about artificial insemination too.  He's on a ride which resembles
  those metal balls attached to strings, where you lift one ball and let it
  fall, and the end balls bounce back and forth (I wish I knew the name for
  these things!).  He's still got the cast and neck brace on, and the name of
  the ride is "The ???ntusion".

- The "Beer Hall of Presidents" bore a remarkable resmblance to the Hall of
  Presidents at Disney World.  And, I'm *certain* the "Little Land Of Duff" was
  a take-off of the "Small World After All" exhibit at Disney World.  Totally
  hilarious!

- When Bart says, "Let's see if they wore underwear back then," he pulled the
  pants off someone who I believe was supposed to be Jefferson.  Then Jefferson
  turns around and his eyes glow red...a Terminator reference?

- The sign outside the lineup of the "Little Land of Duff": "Enter Here / Wait
  From / This Point / 2 hrs", just like at Disney World.  Plus another incon-
  sistency: when Selma, Bart, and Lisa line up there, the camera pans to the
  front of the line...which shows the "Complaints" booth!  So how could it have
  been the entrance to "Little Land of Duff"?

- The song in the "Little Land of Duff":  "Duff Beer for me / Duff beer for you
  / I'll have a Duff / You have one too"

- When Doplh, Jimbo, and Kearney are shown riding the bumper cars down the
  highway, what power source were they running on?  The mettle poles that nor-
  mally touch the top of the bumper car cage were buzzing as though they had
  electricity on them!  But how could they have?

- The label on the Beer Goggles: "Beer Goggles / See the world through the
  eyes of a drunk"

- Memorable quotes:

  Gladys:  "To my sister, Jackie, I leave my pet Iguana Jub-Jub."  Great name!

  Selma:   "I was so depressed I ate a jar of expired olives."  Blecch!

  Bart:    "Oh great, Dad's dead."

  Bart:    "To get to Duff Gardens, I'd ride with Satan himself."
  Selma:   "That's the spirit!"

  Homer:   "That Yentl puts the 'she' in 'Yeshiva'."

  Actress: "Hercules, the Cyclops tore off my clothes!"

  Security Guard: [referring to Lisa] "We found this one swimming naked in the
    fermentarium."

  Homer:   "Come to Homercles!"

  Lisa:    "Can't talk, cutting down [?]"  This sounded similar to Homer's
    "Can't talk, eating" from 9F06, "New Kid on the Block".  But I couldn't
    make out Lisa's exact words there.

Well, that's all I saw.
