Boy Meets Curl/References

==Trivia==
*Medicine Woman (or Boob Lady) from the movie returns in this episode. According to Homer, she is his therapist.
*The background scene with Medicine Woman includes patterns based on Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher.
*Although it was hinted in previous episodes, this is the first episode that confirms that the Seymour Skinner that we commonly see is indeed Mrs. Skinner's birthson and not an imposter, and the first to outright retcon The Principal and the Pauper, in which we learn Seymour is truly an impostor.
*When Lisa is playing music for money she is actually playing her small portion of music from most of the opening credits/sequence.
*Nelson's Canadian counterpart laughs "Hoo Hoo!" instead of "Ha Ha!"
*This is the first time Agnes Skinner is shown to be kind to her son since her first appearance in The Crepes of Wrath.
*When they win demonstration gold in mixed curling, Bob Costas announces it is the USA's first and only medal of the entire Olympics. But he had previously noted the USA was currently playing in sudden death overtime of the gold medal hockey game against Russia.
**The US team won 36 other medals, including eight more gold medals.
**Also demonstration medals do not officially count in the Olympic standings, only if the sport is official do medals count in the standings.
*Homer's driver's license is set to expire on December 26, 2012.
*This is the second time where Lisa wears a cap and a dress mostly made of pins. The first was Smart and Smarter.
*Homer accurately depicts Vancouver as "Canada's warmest city" but only in winter as the average temperature in Vancouver is a few degrees warmer than even Toronto.

*Curly Howard from The Three Stooges is parodied by other Curly look-a-likes at the "National Curly Trials" by trying to perform routines and hijinks from old Three Stooges shorts.
