This isn't true.  Nobody automatically qualifies for Olympics events.  There 
are very strict regulations regarding who qualifies for each event.  As a 
major sports power, the United States is allowed three competitors in every 
track and field event (well, maybe not *every*, but close to it), but they 
still have to go through heats to reach the finals.  The US may have 
automatically qualified for the soccer tournament as the host country, but 
I'm not sure about that.

Too young to remember the '84 olympics?!?!?!  Assuming the youngest age of
a reader of this newsgroup is 17 (which is probably even younger than the
actual youngest age), this would still put the youngest reader around
age 9 in 1984, which is plenty old enough to remember the olympics.  In any
case, anyone over 20 should definitely be old enough to remember the 
boycott controversy surrounding the 1984 olympics.  I remember the controversy
surrounding the 1980 olympics and I had just finished the 3rd grade!

I disagree with your point that a reader has to be "sufficiently obsessed
with sports" in order to remember the boycott controversy of 1984.  This news
was more than just sports trivia.  This was major political news.  My mother,
who is definitely NOT a sports fan, distinctly remembers the boycott.  Anyone
of the right age with a half-decent memory should know about it.

Also, your excuse about not living in the U.S.A is completely irrelevant
because the olympics are a global event.  I assume the news services in
other countries are competent enough to report on a major news story like
the olympic boycotts.  I would only excuse readers living in the backwaters of
the 3rd world or in a country where news is suppressed by a dictatorship.

It just boggles my mind how clue-less people are about this.

I definitely remember reading an article about plot subjects for the
"new season" just prior to the season the C(K)arl episode appeared.
One of the topics was that Homer would get a new  gay co-wroker.
So when the C(K)arl episode apppeared I made the natural conclusion
that C(K)arl was gay (of course C(K)arl turned out to be Homer's
secretary, not a co-worker per say).  BTW, C(K)arl is my favorite
character on the show.  I wish they'd bring him back (he was in the
Do the Bartman video).

As for Smithers and Mr. Burns, I'm still trying to figure that one
out.  (Very confusing).

Once again, Itchy and Scratchy were a target of the censors.
Courtesy of J.D Baldwin's guide:

    Open with a shot of Itchy standing in front of Scratchy, who is bound
    with thick ropes to a post.  Itchy climbs a stepladder with a hammer and
    a very large nail, and holds it up to Scratchy's forehead, clearly
    intending to drive it.  Scratchy, of course, screams.  The view changes
    to a behind-Scratchy's-head shot, Itchy drives the nail, and we see it
    emerge from the back of the post.
    The shot returns to the previous view and we see that the nail has,
    indeed, been driven through Scratchy's forehead.  Itchy, in what may be
    his most deliciously ironic move yet, hangs a picture of a smiling Itchy
    and Scratchy with their arms around each other (remarkably similar to
    the publicity photo hanging on the wall of Roger Myers' office) on the
    newly-driven nail.

Good job remembering the reference. However, the answer to getting the
license back is in "Black Widower / Return of Sideshow Bob", where this
fellow appears again. Patty/Selma (the one in love with Sideshow Bob)
wishes him happiness in love and passes him without looking at the test.

An even nicer touch of continuity.

The scene where Maggie repeatedly tosses the ball against one wall of the
playpen is another movie reference.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the
title of the movie it was taken from.  It is a well-known movie set during
WWII, where an American POW is put in solitaire after he tries to escape.
Does anyone remember the title of this of this movie?  I don't think it
appears under the "movie reference" section.

Here is a little news off the Associated Press wire........

NEW YORK--Matt Groening, creator of 'The Simpsons,' figures he can get away with
his irreverence just by heaping on humor.  "I find you can get away with all
sorts of unusual ideas if you present them with a smile on your face," the
38-year-old father of two said in the January issue of Spin magazine.  "When I
was asked 'Where does Homer Simpson work?' I said, 'Oh, at a nuclear power
plant,' and everybody laughed."  Groening, whos name rhymes with raining, lives
with his wife and two sons in Venice, a beach community near Los Angeles.  He
said he admires musician Frank Zappa for having no use for glamour.  "I don't
care about being slick or sexy or presenting that look in my word.  A lot of
people in music videos, films, and novels express themselves with a kind of
sullen sexiness.  I'm much more interested in making people laugh.  I have that
in common with Zappa."

OK, I won't argue about it (well, maybe I will), but I *do* (vaguely) 
remember the controversy about Kris and Ricky Nelson sleeping in the same 
bed, even though they were married in real life.  How old is Tracy Nelson

official spellings, modulo any typos I made entering them.  Well, or typos the

Note particularly the matched spelling of "Rodd" and "Todd", the spelling of

The second (actually *first*) C/Karl *is* one of Homer's co-workers.
Homer's two best friends are Lenny and C/Karl.
The black guy's name is C/Karl and the white guy's name is Lenny.
(Personally I think the secretary was Carl and the co-worker is Karl. Don't
as me why. I guess I just subconciously register the 'C' as a "softer" letter
than the 'K'.)

Wrong! :-)
ERB had FOUR different kinds of Martians: red, black, white, and green.  The 
green ones were about eight feet tall and had four arms.  The red ones were 
the kinds that John Carter and his progeny mated with (they laid eggs), but 
the black and white ones (pale, albino white) were also humanoid.  There were 
comments about Carter's Virginia Civil War-era queasiness about associating 
with the blacks, but he thought them very beautiful.  The Martian version of 
chess, with one hundred squares (ten by ten) of black and red was supposed to 
refer to wars between the red and black Martians.

Most of the time you'd be right. A lot of local stations will cut the intro
e.g. by cutting from LS's sax solo to the driveway, but Homer's Bypass was the
