I got a Whinnie-the-Pooh feeling with Homer in the hole. Funny so far.

Am I nuts or was that actually a decent 'Simpsons' episode?!?


I laughed, but now my whole world has gone higgeldy-piggeldy.

How is it even possible?

This whole season has been great, IMHO.

Hmmm...so Snake was an archaeologist. Ok then. I thought the whole thing was a dream up until the somewhat odd ending. Good episode though.

Mine did too when it switched to something else at the bottom of the hour. And that was because I ran out of tuners (3 shows recording at that time!).

Great story-telling...lots of good gags... when Moe threatens to "out" one of the barflys-- man did that crack me up. Easily one of the best and in my top ten of all time.

I can't remember an episode I've enjoyed this much in years. Just about everything worked and worked well. The goat's flashback had me rolling.

My DVR cut the episode too. I think it was when Moe was kissing Edna at the end.

Pointless fact:

By this point in the episode if all the episodes were to be played without another show interrupting it The Simpsons could continuously play for 7.6875 days in a row.
Anybody for a marathon?

I didn't think that it was that great. First one that I have caught in a while.

Moe tells Edna he thought she didn't want to daye a tavern owner, she tells him at this point she'll take a guy with a healthy libido, Moe says this is where it gets awkward again. Then the Texas guy does the 1, 2, 3, 4 thing again.

I thought it was a funny episode.

I liked this episode too. I haven't watched the Simpsons in a long while. I'm glad I watched this one.

Finally watched this off my Tivo. One of the funniest Simpsons ever. I was barrel laughing at the goat's flashback and several other jokes. Not a misfire in the bunch. And I, too, felt all warm and fuzzy seeing Commander McBragg, though a bit disappointed he didn't end his speech with "Quite".
