Was that a "Memento" joke on "The Simpsons" last night?

::

For anyone who didn't see it, Homer was all pissed off for having to remember another area code and, while writing the new area code on his hand, he said something to the effect of:

"Man, why do I have to remember another area code, it's hard enough to remember anything, anyway."

Pan over to his hand/forearm where he has written:

"Lenny = white,
car = black"

and maybe a couple of other things, it was pretty quick.

If it was a nod to "Memento", then kudos to Groening and Co. for making jokes that J6P will not necessarily get (along with their "Run, Lola, Run" spoof earlier).

*smacks himself*

D'oh!

Well, there goes my fantasy world where famous cartoons regularly spoof independent films.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Not only that, but wasn't it also spoofing "Go"?

Majorly spoofing two small-time movies in one episode - that's hardcore!
