In reference to a cat licking itself, this is done to CLEAN the body--not 
to please it.  As any cat owner will tell you, most felines like to keep their 
coats of hair, face, paws, tail, and genitalia free from any unpleasant or strong 
odors.  By doing this, a cat will not be 'smelled' by it's prey, or by it's 
predators, and will naturally have a better chance at survival.

That is problably what was happening on this show.......just a normal cat
cleaning it's body.

God only knows how cats 'masturbate', but if they do....he was standing right

Actually, God had 5 fingers every time.  It is just that a lot of the
time you can only see 4 fingers because his thumb is behind them.
Anyway, he had 5 digits on each hand during every apperance.

BTW, there was yet another conspicuous reference to Homer's 4 digit
finger when he boosts up the four band graphic equalizer on the stereo
with *all* his fingers....

OK, here's an idea.  I seem to remember that the show cuts to Homer after
the congregation begins to leave.  Perhaps during this someone else discovered
that the door was sealed shut, and so they inlisted the buffest man there to
open it.  We know Flanders is strong due to his muscular chest seen last week.

Truly a classic episode! A 10 on my scale, I laughed non-stop! This should
put to rest any people out there who may have thought if you didn't get
the literary and movie references in the Simpsons, you could not really
enjoy them. Except for the Tom Cruise (Risky Business) imitation by
Homer, I saw only non-stop humor in this episode.

Ok, here's something about the Simpsons which my roommate and I love...
whenever Homer sees something he likes, he always says-

"Ohuhohuhhmmm, [insert object here]"

Here's my favorie:

The episode is the one where Lisa loses her love for Homer because he failed to
 get her a new reed for her sax in time for her chool performance. Homer is
racing to get to the music store, screeching the car to a halt, dashing out,
and says, "Just in the nick of..." He peers over to see Moe's Bar, "Ohuhohuhhmm
 beer."

 We've tried accounting for all of those phrases but I'm sure we've missed some
 good ones.  If this is something that has been brought up before, and someone
posted a list of these, could you please send me the post?  If nobody has done
so, I suppose I could post a list, after diligently running running through the
 eps I do have. What I'm looking for is something like "Worfisms"from Star Trek
 The Next Generation.

As for Burns never remembering Homer, and the jib that goes on between Smithers
 and Burns, I LOVE IT!

"Smithers!  WHO is that man?"
"That's Homer Simpson sir.  He's one of your boobs from sector 7G."
"Simpson, eh..."  And then he fires him, promotes him, or something else.

That's all for now.

                          Hatsa Luego,

Watch yesterday's sofa scene (running off the edge of the film) frame by frame
for some REALLY bizarre drawings of OFF.  Bart's mouth looks like a zipper, and
at various points both Marge and Homer's eyes stretch considerably in the
vertical dimension.  Other weird things too.

I know they've had weird drawings in the sofa scenes before, but this time they
really look consistent with the animation changes that Mr Wandel (and others)

I found this book a simplistic account of I vs C. It does read easily

Maybe MG could countersue.  I only began watching Tracey Ullman in
reruns on Lifetime *because* I wanted to see the Simpsons shorts.
Now I'm a big TU fan, but I wouldn't be if MG's contributions to
