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.

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.
I think it should have edged out Kwyjibo
Best Sideshow Bob Moment:
Actually it was his brother Cecil. “Guess who!” “Maris?”
Best moment with Bob was the rakes.

I’ll be damned if I can remember the exact line, but he corrected Lisa’s correction of him by saying “I am well aware of the works of (name.)”
Second best - “I’m your memory, Homer. I can’t provide any new information.”
Best Bart Being Nice to Lisa Moment:
Teaching her how to walk in high heels for Little Miss Springfield. “Do you really think I can win?” “I’m begining to think I can win.”
That’s a Bart quote. 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 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.

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.
