Another was to run on the field during a baseball game (a framed newspaper article says something like 'moron ruins game, Isotopes forfeit pennant'.)

okay, since we need another question and I love the cross-episode list questions: name six instances where repo-men arrive to take something away (either explain the situation, or describe the thing taken away).

6 nasty

When Flanders runs into trouble with the Leftorium and the repo man comes to homers by mistake

Barts credit card fraud, Santa's little helper gets repossed instead of laddie


After Bart is born the repo man takes all of the baby stuff back and Marge's ring

Mr Plow, his truck gets taken away

When Homer and Lisa go into the sensory deprivation tanks at a local hippy store and the tanks and homer are repossed

When Homer designs a new car for his brother and bankrupts the car company you see the whole building repossesd

The true hollywood monent simpsons where thier mansion is repossesed

Before the Simpson's was on T.V. and was a staple of the Tracy Ullman show, there was an episode where Bart declared that there was no perfect crime. What was his crime?

[octothorp]

Didn't he steal cookies and burn his hand or something? I think it was a cookie from Lisa's easybake oven?

[CaptainCrunch]

When he stole the hot cookies from the pie plate he declared that it was the perfect crime.

Later he was found on the floor of his room suffering from severe indigestion which forced him to admit that there was no perfect crime

[octothorp]

Okay, that sounds familiar. Was there something in the skit about him burning his hand on it and the hand throbbing bright red? I definitely recall that from one of the Ullman skits.

[JiriHrdina]

I think we need a new question no?

What is Ned Flanders' stance on "Peanut Butter", specifically Smooth vs. Chunky?

This was on tonight so it may be an easy one. Funny though.

[AC]

Doesn't he prefer plain with water for dipping?

If that's right, I don't have a question.

So somebody else ask.

[JiriHrdina]

Bang on Anthony. "Steady Neddy" prefers to stay clear of that "hornet's nest".

[octothorp]

Often, when someone goes to the basement on the Simpsons, you can see in the background a giant carved stone head. What is the name of the character this statue depicts?

[RougeUnderoos]

Spelling is difficult, but I think Burns refers to him as "Extrapolotoketel" and he's the Olmec God of War.

[octothorp]

That's a pretty good guess. Actual spelling is: Xtapolapocetl.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

name 5 advantages that Homer got by becomming a Stonecutter (Before he was recognized as the chosen one).

Edit: They have to be outside of the headquartes.

[octothorp]

Well, one was a slightly better parking spot and a pair of rollerblades or something.

Close, he got the same parking spot, but they did give him rollerblades so that he could glide to work.

That's 1.

[MassFlames]

Same parking spot, but now he gets rollerblades and access to secret traffic-avoiding tunnel

Use of Stone Cutters t-shirt and secret handshake get preferential treatment from local plumbers

A new chair for the office

Membership pack including: stickers that keep you from getting tickets and having paramedics steal your wallet, and also the real number to call in case of emergency (912)

Knowledge of what *really* happened in American histroy, including the wild party after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and how Davy Crocket REALLY died (but you have to be 18 to hear that one)

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

That's 5, free Buzz Cola from the vending machines at work would also have been acceptable.

[calf]

2) 911 is actually 912
3) Wearing the stonecutters logo stops the paramedics from stealing your wallet
4) There's the luxury highway so they can avoid traffic
5) Those kickass chairs they got at work

there are others indeed, above.

My question:

In two seperate episodes, Bart says this rhyme: "___________ is a nut, (s)he has a rubber butt...". Who are the 2 people it's about?

Bonus: and in which episodes?

[octothorp]

Lisa is a nut, she has a rubber butt--from the Evita episode. It was on TV just the other day.

I think the other one is probably Skinner, but I don't remember it exactly.

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

Can't let it die.

In what I believe was the first episode (the one where Bart gets put into the advanced class),
what was the solution to the calculus problem that the class was working on.
