I have not seen this posted yey, however ET (Entertainment Tonight)
reported that during this season Homer will have a heart attack
in one episode. 
		Could this be the infamous "6 months left" reference
or is this a rumor/hoax. You never know with the Simpsons will
Homer "actually" have a heart attack!. Supposedly we will
see the inside of his body as it happens.

I was out the night this episode aired, so I taped it and wouldn't you know,
the recorder went off just as God was telling Homer the meaning of life.
Did He explain it to Homer, or was there some sort of fade out like I
expect?

Not all of us in New Orleans are so thin-skinned.  I thought it was funny, not 
as funny as our "Govenor," whom we are trying to oust.  By the way, this place

Nope. In fact, he has NONE named after him. The only two episodes he
figured prominantly in were "Krusty Gets Busted" [7g12], and "Black
Widower" [8f20]. Although 8f20 is also known as "The Return of Sideshow

Yikes!  I laughed and laughed until I could laugh no more.

I assume everyone got the long intro this time (and if you 
didn't, I'd be P.O.'ed [no, that doesn't mean "potatoed"]).

Anyway, a ^L for those who need not be spoiled...

Basically, OFF runs into the room (execpt for Maggie, who 
is already in position), but they run too far to the right
and the background scene has to shift to the left too far, thus
revealing the "film strip" edge to the right side of the picture.
Homey et al. put on the brakes, get back into the frame, recover 
and get to the couch as normal.

I feel I should paraphrase Kent Brockman: of course, and I say 
this without hyperbole, it is at least a million times funnier to 
see it than to read it (well, duh!).

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

There might have been a goof in the last dream sequence: when God
was moving his hand quickly, he seemed to have 4 digits.

In any case, the Simpsons aren't created in God's image.

appreciate and enjoy the Simpsons much much more.  I thought that "Homer the
Heretic" was hilarious!  Laughed the whole way through.  Loved the part where
Homer was walking through the back yard in his monk outfit with small animals
on his shoulder.  It then cut to him in the shower telling the animals to cut
it out!  Classic Homer!

a few years ago.  Didn't Rather say something similar to Kent Brockman's

I, for one, have DEFINATELY seen a cat doing this for pleasure...
Many years ago, a friend's girlfriend had a young tom that she was
always complaining about doing this totally disgusting thing. One day
when we were at her apartment, he curled up (sitting upright), and 
buried his face in his crotch, whence emanated these little
slurping sounds. Sue reached out and batted him upside the head,
knocking him over; damned thing never missed a beat! He had his nose
completely lost in his belly fur, and a cute little paw wrapped
around the end of his snout... After a while, he'd straighten out
and walk away with a very contented look!

	Yes, I though the couch scene WAS very funny, although maybe not THE
best ever. 
	But, in Baltimore (WJZT, Fox 45), we got a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
blackboard quote.  We got the one that was aired in Canada last week:
	"I will not defame New Orleans".
	I find it very interesting that the couch scene and blackboard quote
segments of the opening credits were mixed and matched in different regions.
Did anyone see other combinations in other parts of the U.S. and Canada??
