       O.K. I know it's a dead issue and we're all sick and tired of the

Where is Springfield? It can be narrowed down a little. When Lyle Lanley
holds up a map of the places he has sold monorails to it is clear that
North Haverbrook is in the midwest. Since Marge was able to drive there,
one must assume that North Haverbrook is within close driving distance of
Springfield, therefore Springfield must be in or very near the midwest.
Sorry for beating an already very dead horse but I hope this will be the end
of it.

The appearance of Lurleen Lumpkin in the episode with Lyle
Lanley makes me wonder whether Springfield, USA, like Metropolis
USA, has a disproportionate number of citizens with the initials
LL (Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luthor...).  Perhaps this is a
backhanded salute to the deceased (at least for the time being)
Man of Steel.  (I suppose we can't really call him "The Man of
Tomorrow" anymore, can we?)

On what episode did Wendel, the kid who throws up on buses, originally
appear?  Someone mentioned his character to me over two years ago when
I mentioned my own bouts with carsickness.  I thought I'd seen every
Simpsons episode, so I figured he must have been thinking of another

It is Frost's The Road Not Taken.  It is IMHO a curious poem for her to
pick, because she *did* take the road not taken (she had no children)
and she was reccomending that.  The poem is telling people that it is
sometimes better in life to take a path that isn't taken by everyone
else.  I only remember it because we had to memorize it back in high 
school ... here it is from memory (8 years later):


Two roads divereged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler long as I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then looked at the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them equally about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh I saved the first for another day
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubt if I will ever be back

I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence 
Two roads divereged in a wood and I,
I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.


Disclamer: I probably don't know what I'm talking about. :-)

Zeus was played by Norman Fell, who played Mr. Roper in "Three's
Company."  N

No overt reference here, just that Fell is short, skinny and balding
(very un-Zeus like).  Plus, he is one of those has-been actors who
end up taking cameo roles in soft-core porn epics that end up on
Cinemax (see Erik Estrada, Lou Ferrigno and McClean Stevenson).

I definitely think George Washington's severed head was a reference
to Ash (Ian Holm), the robot in "Alien."

Also, Lisa's "acid" trip was reminiscent of the boat scene in
"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."  But that might be a
weak reference.

Oh, and could someone clue me in as to what a "lutefisk" is?  I know
the whole story behind it (except for the part about what it is), so
if someone could let me know, I'd appreciate it.

I posted the information about the shirt, Gary.  Sorry you have had

quickly.

The information came from a _Rolling Stone_ classified ad (in RS #641,
10/15/92, p. 199).  The company's name & address were:

 Shirt Shop
 PO Box 367
 Teaneck, NJ  07601

No phone number was listed.

I did notice when my shirt arrived by UPS that the shipping label had a
different return address than that given in the ad:

 New World Sales
 207 Union St.
 Hackensack, NJ  07601

Hope these addresses help you track down your order.  Good luck.  It's
a pretty cool shirt.

I never said I didn't *laugh*, or that it wasn't a funny episode; I
said that as an episode, a half hour story with plot, it was bad.
The Simpsons is done as a half-hour show, with one connected, continuous
(though often multi-faceted) plot.  If all they were after were
laughs, they could fill the half hour with several unrelated short
vignettes or such; the fact that they choose not to do this shows that
their goal is more than just to pack in as many yucks per half hour
(or 22 minutes) as possible.  So just because a show has you (or me)
howling, still doesn't make it a good show.

PS: Are you of the Springfield Franklins who bear a striking resemblance
    to 17th century German composers?
