    Yeah, what's the deal with that??  How come we didn't see Lisa
running with Bart, Marge, and Homer?  She just sort of snuck in there at
the end...

>If we got `New Orleans...' tonight, what did the Canadians get?

    It seems that the Canadians got "I will not prescribe medication".
Is this a new one?  Will the damn Canadians always be a week ahead of us
Americans?  First the World Series, now this! :-)

    Note also that the letters in the "Little Miss Springfield" sign
light up as Krusty sings each letter.

>-Springfield Founders Festival Parade

    Also same old warning:
    SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in
Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight.
    Note "in" is not capitalized, and all other words are (first letter)

>-Movie and other refs (including some in very bad taste)

    Also, Krusty mentioning the pics from a previous year's LMS is a ref
to Vanessa Williams having to give up her Miss America crown.

>I dunno, I didn't like this very much either; continuity was off,
>as was Lisa's -whole- motivation...  New animation is uneven...

    Yeah, for example, when Marge runs her fingers through Lisa's hair
there is something funny going on with the animation.  Quite irritating.
Outside that I loved this week's offering.  It wasn't as good as last
weeks (Homer the Heretic), but its better than any other from this
season.  Lots of fun moments in there!

Other misc DYN...

     In Homer's dream, there were 400 people in the stands with a sheet
to make up his face and say "Hi Homer" (seated 20X20)
     Honer consoling Lisa: "This isn't real!  It's just how you might
look if you were a cartoon character."
     On the TV add, the girl doesn't come back down from the last throw!
     Marge hits resonance frequency on the glass she's holding when
she's thinking about Jack Nicklaus
     Maggie falls just after Lisa does (on heels)
     At the Danish store opening, they have a Danish "O" in "shop"
                Warning:
             Do not back up
           Severe Tire Damage
