I seem to recall there were only four mentioned.  Wild guess: the
writers had originally wanted to name them after the dwarfs, using the
names that would have applied equally well to dwarfs as drunks, and
then they went on to true drunk attributes.  Something like:

Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Tipsy, Queasy, Surly and Remorseful

(although I still like the one I thought I had remembered from the
show: "Maudlin".)  But then, of course, they got scared of those
infamous Disney lawyers...

The most clever and obscure allusions in the Duff Gardens episodes were the
self-referential ones.  Many of you probably noticed that "The Erotic
Adventures of Hercules" was from the resume of Troy McClure, from the
"Mr.Plow" episode.

But how many of you remember what Bart was most eager to see in "A Streetcar
Named Marge"?  It was "jive-talking robots with frontal nudity."  Now, what
did Lisa and Selma see last night?  Think about this . . .

Younger netsters will probably not remember that when LSD was at its most
popular, it was supposed to be really fun ("a really good trip") to drop
acid and see Disneyland.  I never knew anyone who actually did this (myself
included, God knows).  Seeing Fantasia, likewise.  Some LSD was sold with
Disney characters printed on it (again, not sold to me, and I don't endorse
it).  This was the reason for Lisa's strange LSD trip last night.

A similar bit of irony involved "Hooray for Everything", a take-off on Up
With People, the most clean-scrubbed inoffensive Christian singing group
ever. Pretty much just as depicted.  The irony comes in having them perform
"Walk on the Wild Side" which is about gay prostitution (or something like
that) and is among the most sleazy pop songs ever.  This was one of Lou
Reed's only hits.  Someone might want to post the lyrics.  It might be
interesting to post the Robert Frost poem as well.

OK, so who was the actor who played Zeus, and what was his significance?

Boy!  How did we ever miss this one.

Here's a scene from Selma's Choice (last Thursday).  A clergyman is
delivering a eulogy at a funeral.  But one of the deceased doesn't like the
way the eulogy is going.  It seems like it would be better if delivered by a
relative, instead.  So the relative of the deceased steps in and takes
over.  It's a surprise, because there was some gender confusion involved.
But the eulogy goes all right, and the relative develops just a little more
self-resolution.

To what movie is this an allusion?  Note I have phrased this in such a way
as to make the answer VERY VERY easy. If you can't get this you will be
nominated for a special "Homer's Brain" award.

The interesting thing about this ongoing conflict is the fact that sometimes
Wiggum winds up on top and other times Quimby does.

In MVM, we hear Wiggum say, "...isn't there a bridge that needs to be
dedicated somewhere..." indicating that Quimby is just a figurehead.  I can't
recall the episode, but there was some sort of 3rd degree type of interrogation
where Wiggum looked like a complete idiot while Quimby was really in charge.

  As promised, I have scanned my pictures of the AMF Monorail at the

an artists conception probably from the initial design phase, and
was made into a postcard. The second is an actual picture and the
cosmetic building coloring differs from the design drawing. This photo
was scanned from the "Official Souvenir Book of the New York World's

  I have uploaded them to wuarchive.wustl.edu, in the

                                 ^^^^^? Me too, but I've never hallucinated
after /drinking/. That scene is a pretty obvious LSD reference, as someone
else pointed out. It is certainly possible to hallucinate after drinking,
but one handful of anything, even pure grain alcohol, wouldn't raise the
alcohol % in LS's blood enough to account for the effects shown. 

Her paraphrasing Jim Morrison:"I am the Lizard Queen!" just clinched it.

What does LS say after she's brought into the Duff Gardens security office,
sounded like "I'm coming down"?
