Does anyone know what Homer is refering to when he mentions "that freezer lady in Georgia?"BigBadUglyBugFacedBabyEatingO'Brian 01:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

Why do we need this, who cares? People who write things like this are like the Comic Book Guy--172.214.91.173 20:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Potent Quotables

This is one of the most quotable episodes of the Simpsons EVER. Many are preserved on this page. To that end though, a great one, if memory serves, is missing. Doesn't Homer explain that "[he's] not a criminal, [he's] a patriot, like all those people [pause] in jail?". Could someone look that up? Non Curat Lex 08:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Status

I read the article and have decided that it is nearly a good article; there are still a few errors that need sorting out. The article's good qualities include coherent style, abundant references and the fact that someone who knows practically nothing about the Simpsons could get through it without question. However, there are a few grammatical mistakes, mostly in the first two paragraphs, most densely in the first. I'm a bit short of time at the moment, so if someone else would kindly reread those paragraphs and fix the mistakes, that would be wonderful. I'd be happy pass this article, then.--Dark Green 22:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I've given it a look and made a few changes. If there are still any remaining that I have missed, someone else will hopefully spot them. Thanks for the review! Gran² 22:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Perfect! I've given it a few minor tweaks and now it's definately worth of good article status. :) --Dark Green 20:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Gran² 21:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy?

Wasn't there some controversy over the John Bull chip shop being blown up in this episode? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.189.125.98 (talk) 18:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
