Answers to my two remaining questions: _Tuesday_ is Ladies’ Night, according to the sign at Moe’s (“TUES”) _Lisa_ said “How Zen”, admiringly, after Homer told Bart something like “You don’t need that four-eyes as a friend”, referring to Milhouse van Houten. * * * And answers to two other questions: **SNenc** : The name of the musical is _Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off_. **Chocobo** : Apu played Stonewall Jackson. “The South shall ‘Come again!’” * * * [sub][sup]“What the?..A Chocobo!” – _Mystic Quest_[/sub][/sup] ---
