I believe the third husband is Apu, not Lionel Hutz. Isn’t her name something like Selma Bouvier Terwilliger McClure Nahassapeemapetilon? I could be wrong so I’m not going to post another question…

No, she said she wasn’t going to marry Apu in the deportation episode, because her name was already long enough.

“Look, I’m already Selma Bouvier Terwilliger Bouvier Hutz McClure. My name’s already long as it is without Nahassa-passa-whatever.”

</div>

THe thing about Selma is that she SAYS Hutz yet we never see a wedding epside for that, I think the writer’s might have slipped it in ot ‘keep us on our toes’, so to speak.

Fan boy: Hutz? WHen did she marry Lionel Hutz? I missed an episode! Noooooooo!

I have no question to answer but I have one. What kind of car to Patty and Selma drive?

</div>

To kick-start this thing again, I’ve decided to cheat. According to SNPP, the name of the Senate page is “Brad Fletcher”.

But, I can find no information about Patty and Selma’s car, nor do I remember it ever being mentioned on the show. I know they HAVE a car, but I doubt a make or model was ever discussed.

So, since I answered one, a new question:

Under what name does Homer hide at the Springfield Retirement Castle while Apu pretends to be married to Marge while Apu’s mother visits?

Umm, Klu Klux Klam was one of them I do believe.
