JohnT, that’s the same sandwich. At one point he had hidden it behind the radiator, and found it. It was a greyish color at the time. ---

Best guest appearance, appearing as self It would have to be Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I loved that episode. It really gave me a false hope for the upcoming season. Wait, can I have 2? I loved Robert Goulet in the $pringfield episode. NELSON: Your manager says for you to shut up! GOULET: _Vera_ said that? Best guest appearance, appearing as a character It would have to be Dustin Hoffman as Mr. Bergstrom. Best Daydream Sequence Homer’s dream of the land of chocolate. Most touching moment Homer’s pics of Maggie at the workstation. Most touching and humorous moment Homer going after George Bush when he spanked Bart. Best Sign Master Knows All Except Combination To Safe Most Disgusting Thing Homer Has Eaten Definitely the baking soda from the fridge. Ugh!!! It makes me shudder just thinking about it. Best ‘Location’ Episode Bart vs. Australia. It’s one of my all-time favorites!!! New York is a great episode too, but not as absurd. Best Bart Prank Call “I’m a stupid moron with an ugly face and big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt” Best Homer ‘Smart’ Moment I’m not sure if this counts, because it was sort of smart/dumb, but when Homer put on the glasses and stated the “formula” for an isosoles triangle. “THAT’S A RIGHT TRIANGLE, YOU IDIOT!” ---

Which episode was the Thermodynamics thing in? I would have to agree with **watsonwil** for Sideshow Bob’s best line, and the most touching moment is, by far, all the pictures of Maggie at the plant. ---

I can’t really think of answers to all of the questions, but… **Best Daydream Sequence** I’ve always loved Homer’s unsexy thoughts. Barney in a bikini drunkenly humming the theme song from _I Dream of Jeannie_? Hilarious. **Best Sign** I’ve always loved a sign outside the cemetery: Come for the funerals-Stay for the pie! ---

Candidate for Best McBain Line: J.Sherman: “Hey McBain, your shoes are untied.” McBain: “From up here they appear to be tied, but I will move in for a closer look.” _Hours Later_ McBain: “Upon closer inspection, these are loafers.” Although I really do love the McBain show line… McBain: “That’s a pretty funky outfit you’re wearing. It makes you look like a homosexual.” Audience: “BOOO!!!” McBain: “Maybe you all are homosexuals too!” Hope that didn’t offend anyone, I just laugh out loud whenever that part comes on. ---

The line is “I am well aware of the works Pablo Neruda.” (sp?) It’s from the episode “Bart sells his soul.” In that spirit… **best church moment** : “We shall drink naught but burning hot coals and drink naught but burning hot cola.” just edges out “This sounds like rock and/or roll.” ---

Best guest shot (not playing himself): Patrick Stewart as “Number One”, the head of the Stonecutters. Homer’s initiation: Number One: This ritual is called…“Crossing the Desert”. [Homer gets paddled on the butt by Hibbert, Skinner, Brockman, Krusty, Moe, Quimby, and Willy in succession] And this, we call “The Unblinking Eye”. [Homer gets paddled by the same people in reverse order] Homer: Hey…have you ever noticed that the “Crossing the Desert” is a lot like “The Unblinking Eye”. And it’s _exactly_ like the “Wreck of the Hesperus”. Number One: And now, the final ordeal: “The Paddling of the Swollen Ass…With Paddles”. Runner up; Kathleen Turner as Stacy Lavelle, inventor of Malibu Stacy: Lisa: Change what [the talking Malibu Stacy doll] says. It’s your company. Stacy: Not since I was forced out in 1974. They said my way of thinking just wasn’t cost effective. Lisa: [gasps] That’s awful. Stacy: Well, that, and…I was funneling profits to the Viet Cong. ---

**Best guest appearance, appearing as self** Not really as self, but Bart appearing as witness with his voice “disguised” as real voice of Steve Allen. **Best guest appearance, appearing as a character** Werner Klemperer as Col. Klink. **Best Daydream Sequence** Homer imagines that he is fighting terrorists with Kung Fu moves. Lenny and Karl have been captured and tied up, and they laugh with glee when Homer defeats the terrorists. Cut to reality: Instead of Kung Fu moves, Homer is drying armpits in front of fan, and instead of laughing, Lenny and Carl are coughing and choking from the smell. Second place: Homer: “I miss little Bart…little Lisa…little Marge…and the rest.” **Most Disgusting Thing Homer Has Eaten** “God” waffle on ceiling - mmmmmmm…sacrelicious. **Best Homer ‘Smart’ Moment** Talking to brain: “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” “Hmmm…tell me more” **Best Marge imitation by another character** When Homer is blinded and riding in the car with Nelson and the gang, Kerney pretends to be Marge: “Now Homie, be sure and pick up some Jack Daniels and some smokes at the store”.
