Well, it's been quite along while since my last Misc DYN/FF list.  I still
wonder if I have a cult following :(  Anyway, here is list number 9 for
those truly diehard DYN/FF fans (i.e. At 400+ lines, it's really quite
long).

(For those who are new, I try to exclude from my lists, the items that were
 already mentioned on A.T.S.)

SPOILERS (for whoever)

  [Freeze Frame Fun]

   Sign:   ANNUAL
           PLANT
           PHYSICAL
           NO JOKES

   All of Mr. Burn's lawyers are holding their briefcases by their right
   hands.

   Couch memories:

               I shot JR: Homer is thin & has hair. large lamp next to
                          couch (with plant hanging on other side).  No
                          phone.

    Hands across America: Homer has slightly fat & hair gone from top
                          (except the usual two).  Has Duff in right hand.
                          Hanging plant is gone. No phone.

         The Berlin wall: Homer is fat. large lamp is replaced by smaller
                          one.  Phone on table.

   During the Award show, one of the cooling towers had a few line cracks.

   Some people in the Award show audience:

      - Abu
      - Principal Skinner

   Some things lying out in the Simpson's front yard:

      - Garden holes (sp?)
      - Skateboard
      - push lawn mower
      - bike.

   Quick & Dirty run-down on the Monopoly game:

      Homer has 4 deeds, some cash;
      Marge has no deeds, little cash;
      Bart has 2 deeds, some cash;
      Lisa has 1 known deed, some cash;
      Herb has no deeds, some cash.


  [Animation/Continuity goofs]

   The lawyer with the eyelashes doesn't show up in the shots of the lawyer
   (with the eye glasses) talking to Mr. Burns.  (i.e.  we should have seen
   both lawyers.)

   The polar bear in Mr. Burn's office is at a different location depending
   on the angle/scene shot.

   Seeing the couch in shambles, Homer drops his Buff beer--which promptly
   disappears.

   The broom (that Bart used) disappeared from the floor (it was lying next
   to the couch).

   Homer's tie disappears after his reminiscing.

   Joe Frazier's Beer (mug) disappears just before Barney tells him to
   shut-up. (But a mug does appear in Moe's hands, though.)

   Homer grabs the Award statue and leaves the Tavern with Moe behind the
   bar, yet the next shot shows nobody behind the bar (when Homer opened
   the tavern door).

   Homer's tuxedo tie is missing when he's walking down the street.

   The door mat disappears from the Simpson door steps for one scene/shot
   (while Herb was outside).

   Moe is behind the bar when the washer (#55) crosses the finish line, yet
   next shot depicts him next to the booths, kicking the dryer (#17).

   Herb rolled up his blueprint and place it under his arm, but I'm not
   sure where it went too after shot/scene change?


  [Personal Comments & observations]

   Homer seems to be the only person (other than Smithers) that wears a ID
   card? (i.e. Kary & Lenny don't wear ID cards.)

   Smoke was pouring out of the Cooling towers (seen when Mr. Burns
   addresses Homer).

   Not only did I love the surprised look on Homer (when he won the award),
   but on Mr. Burns as well.

   The Newspaper that Herb picked up states: `LOCAL MAN, HOMER SIMPSON,
    RECEIVES AWARD AND $2,000 CHECK.'

     If Homer is a local man, how come Herb wanted to catch a train to
     Springfield?  (Think about it.)

   Ned wasn't wearing his >pink< tie he normally does.

   During the game of Monopoly, Lisa was the banker (IMHO).  Also, Lisa's
   money was in straight piles while Bart's money was in one messy pile.

   I wonder where Herb got the drinking bird from?

   Maggie talk:

     1.  Lavish attention on me, and entertain me.
     2.  Where did you go?
     3.  Oh, there you are--very amusing.
     4.  I have soiled myself--how embarrassing.
     5.  I want what the dog's eating.

   From other episodes:

        [8F04] Monopoly game
     [various] Bart's luck red hat


 {Milhouse in Love}

       ``We started out like Romeo and Juliet, but it ended up in tragedy.''
                                            - Milhouse loosing his Juliet.

   [Didja notice...]

    ...how fast the bus was going when Milhouse showed the novelty billiard
       ball? (Look at the houses in the background.)
    ...Ms. Krabappel smoking a cigarette in the classroom as they watching
       the sex education film?
    ...the normal slippers beside the bunny's bed in the sex education
       film?
    ...after snuggling, the bunny couple had carrots instead of cigarettes?


  [Freeze Frame Fun]

   After getting hit by the ball, Milhouse blinked one eye then the other.

   Aside from the 7 movies, there were 7 more (unseen) at the Springfield
   Googolplex Theaters.


  [Animation/Continuity goofs]

   Homer supposedly trips over Bart's baseball glove at top of the stairs,
   yet slow-mo reveals this particular event wasn't handled properly by the
   animators.  (i.e. it looks more like Homer comes to a full stop before
   tripping.)

   In the kitchen, Homer falls (off-camera) and sends a pot flying upwards,
   yet this pot doesn't come down.

   The scene showing Bart holding out his hat depicts the school bus
   already speeding past several houses (I count at least 9), yet next
   scene depicts the bus just driving off.

   Wide shot of Skinner's office doesn't show Samantha's file folder.

   Skinner brought Samantha into the classroom, he left the door open, yet
   after a very brief talk with Ms. Krabappel, this door is closed. (Later,
   the door is left open when Skinner leaves.)

   Opening shot of Milhouse sitting on the bench (eating his sandwich)
   doesn't show the carton of milk in his lunchbox.

   Bart is depicted to be watching Milhouse & Samantha >up< in the
   treehouse, yet we find out he's watching from his bedroom window.
   (i.e. the treehouse should almost be level with Bart's window.)

   First shot of Martin on the bus didn't show the pens in his shirt
   pocket.

   The ten-gallon tub of gummy bears disappears after Samantha dropped it.

   The above (crane) shot of Bart & Milhouse depicts them to be off to one
   side of the school yard, yet the scene showing them walking towards the
   gate depicts them be have been more in the center of the yard.


  [Personal Comments & observations]

   As Bart didn't have his lunchbox (as he got on the bus), I guess Homer's
   Penny Jar will buy him lunch?

   We see Bart racing towards the school bus through the empty garage, so I
   like to know where is the car and station wagon?

   I like to see someone actually sit like Bart did as he goes through the
   baseball cards.

   If Lisa & Marge wanted Homer to lose weight through a subliminal tape,
   how come neither of them (and Homer) didn't notice the tape was marked
   ``Vocabulary Builder''?

   Pamela Hayden & Kimmy Robertson must have had fun taping those kissing
   scenes?


  [Movie/Other References]

   May not be a reference, but a guy (wearing a baseball cap) in the
   audience (watching the movie) might be Joe Bob Broggs.  (He's the critic
   who reviews movies like `Space Mutant'.)

   From previous episodes:

     [7G11] Bart's baseball glove on the stairs
     [7F09] Maggie's dart gun
     [7F09] Smartline
     [7F20] Marge's curler stand on the dresser
     [7F24] Pink socks on floor as Bart made his way to the penny jar.
     [7F24] Kitchen ceiling fan


  {The Otto Show}
                                      ``You were born a man, weren't you?''
                                               Otto questions Patty's sex.

  [Didja notice....]

   ...Marge's hair wiggled after she tucked Maggie in bed?
   ...the several lit candles in Bart's daydream?  (Some were even on the
      floor.)
   ...one of the kids on the school bus waved a cigarette lighter?
      (Probably belongs to Nelson.)
   ...the barbwire on top of the wall of the Springfield Tire Yard?
   ...the burning tire stuck in the window of the bus (behind Sherry &
      Terry)?
   ...Although it might be an AG (because of missing apron), but didja
      notice Chief Wiggum worn his badge on the correct side (i.e. left) of
      his chest?
   ...In the kitchen scene, SBII sleeping beside Homer's chair?
   ...how Maggie jumped up when Atto jumped on the couch?
   ...Otto almost never takes off his sneakers?


  [Freeze Frame Fun]

   With only 4 digits per hand, it seems at times, the members of Spinal
   Tap were giving us the finger while they held their guitars.

   Homer ate his chips with pinky finger extended.

   In the Panning shot of crowd, a man fell from the balcony.

   Two cops on stage were trying to handcuff Snake.

   Sign in Kwik-E-Mart:

        NO
        Checks
        Credit cards
        Food Stamps


  [Animation/Continuity goofs]

   Holding a carton of eggs, Bart wanted to whip them at the warm up act,
   yet this didn't happen.

   When Homer left the house with Bart, it was through a door that opened
   to the right.

   The scene showing Homer & Bart coming back from the concert depicts a
   different Front room.  This scene's angle doesn't show the right side of
   the entrance to the Front room from the hallway.  Also Homer runs [off
   camera] to the front room where we hear him slam the front door and
   drive off.

   Bart sat down after Otto gave back the guitar, yet, the next scene shows
   Bart being empty handed.

   Chief Wiggum worn an apron before diving for cover, yet this apron
   wasn't shown afterwards.  Also, I'm surprised his hat stayed on.

   Four people, who witness the bus accident, change positions (reversely)
   after the bumper came to a stop.

   In a lot of scenes, some of the colors were off and/or were messy. (i.e.
   Otto's hat doesn't seem to decide wether to match his shirt or not.)

   The shot showing the line of kids getting on the school bus depicts
   Sherry & Terry just behind Bart, yet next scene only shows one of the
   twins getting on.

   With both hands on the steering wheel, Principal Skinner manages to
   close the school bus' doors.  (How does he do that?)

   The scene of Principal Skinner driving the school bus depicts telephone
   poles on both sides of the street.  (Is this how it is in the US?)

   During the kitchen scene, Otto is depicted as to be sitting near the
   sink, yet one angle places him next to the fridge (beside Bart) and
   Marge is the one next to the sink.

   Beginning shot of Homer banging on the bathroom door doesn't show the
   door nob that it does a few frames later.

   When Otto opened the bathroom door, it was to (his) right, yet when
   Homer was in the bathroom, the door opened to (Homer's) left.

   As Homer & Marge discuss Otto, they're were in the TV room, yet after
   Lisa's scream, they're depicted as sitting in the front room.

   As Otto told the scary story to Lisa, he held a lit candle and the
   lights were off, yet after Lisa's scream, the candle is gone and the
   lights are on. (Not to mention that he held the lit candle under his
   chin.)

   The heart on top of Lisa's mirror grew & shrank during Otto's scary
   story.

   As Otto & Bart stood outside, the doors to the `Springfield Department
   of Motor Vehicles' opened outward, yet later, Otto kicked the doors
   inward.

   As Patty moved her arms, the pens in her shirt pocket vanishes.

   Otto hit & broke the Bus Stop sign, yet scene showing Otto driving off
   depict the sign to be untouched.


  [Personal Comments & observations]

   I wonder what Homer did with the empty `Billy Beer' can & tab once he
   was finished drinking the contents?

   In all other episodes that I've seen, the school bus always picked out
   Bart & Lisa (alone) in front of their house.

   They should turn the Springfield Tire Yard into a tourist attraction.

   Some how, I can't seen them holding the annual police picnic so early in
   the morning?

   In 7F15, Otto was already seen waiting in line at the Springfield
   Department of Motor Vehicles.

   Shouldn't Principal Skinner have waited for Bart to be seated before
   driving off?

   I find it somewhat useless to have an `Eviction Notice' stating that you
   have to vacate the premises when your door is already locked & your
   landlord won't let you in.  (i.e. After the fact.)

   I find this funny...the way Abu's hand was drawn, it looks like he
   pulled a Squishee cup out of thin air.

   The location of Homer & Marge's bedroom isn't the same location (in the
   house) that normally depicted in other episodes.

   Establishing shot (of house) places the time somewhere during the day
   (ie. not morning or evening), so I wonder why Homer would only be in his
   underwear, banging on the washroom door?

   How did Otto get the bus driver job in the first place?  (Isn't one of
   the requirements is to provide proof of your driver license?)


  [Movie/Other References]

   Phantom of the Paradise
      - Bart swung from the deflated devil's tail, taking off the cop's
        helmet.  In the movie, the Phantom did the same thing with Swan's
        face mask.  The way the tip of the devil's tail formed into a cape
        behind Bart seems to confirm this reference.

   From previous episodes (quoted by Homer to Bart):

|      [8F01]  karate outfit
|      [8F11]  radio
|      [????]  unicycle. (Left by Krusty in 8F05?)
