Well, the goal then became “get to 200,” but I guess we’re there now.

BTW, the Albanian exchange student’s name was Adil.

It appears **Mr Montgomery Burns** is missing, and so are **Bobo** , **Crippler** , **Mindy** , **Zutroy** , and **Stuart the Duck**.

C. Montgomery Burns was indeed mentioned earlier. But what about the female Governor of the [unnamed] state, against whom Burns ran in the Blinky episode? Marge liked her.

My mistake, I checked **Biffy’s** summary list, but only under “B” and “M”!

Not really characters, but I’ll submit **Klu Klux Clam** and **Disgruntled Goat** anyway. And the nurse with the giant syringe from the Bumblebee Man’s show.

She would be Mary Bailey.

Two of the three former Beatles who appeared on The Simpsons have been mentioned (one of them by me). So I’ll name the third: George Harrison.

John Lennon should make a guest appearance to complete the set. But for some odd reason the producers won’t invite him.

Does **Funzo** count as a character? He had a definite (if freaky) personality.

Even better, Adil Hoxha, Hoxha being the last name of the long-time dictator of Albania… nice reference!

Assuming we’re over 200 and can each take a third crack, I’ll go with:

The talking coyote who acts as Homer’s spirit guide at the Indian casino.

I’ll jump in and say that I think you’re combining elements of different episodes here. There’s a talking coyote who acts as an indian-like spirit guide for Homer after he ate an insanity pepper at the chili festival, in ‘El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer,’ but there was no indian casino in that episode.

The simpsons went to an indian casino in ‘bart to the future’, and an indian chief showed him a vision of what was in store for him, but there was nothing to do with spirit guides here.
