> 1,244: SO we all know Homer has an exact double (Guy Incognito), but he also has an almost exact double, same for him save the opposite sex and some hair. We were never given a name, buy what was she singing?

In addition to the singing station-wagon driver spotted by Bart, Homer has a near-identical English half-sister, sired during Abe’s service in WW2. Her name escapes me at the moment, so I’ll “cheat” and look it up… Abbie.

A1: Very good. He also bought two disposable enemas and a bottle of Old Harper, causing Marge to remark as she shuffles through the bag, “I don’t know what you had planned for tonight, but count me out”.

A2: Nope, try again.

Hmm. This probably won’t be all of them, but:

They join the Witness Protection Program and become The Thompsons;  
They move to the company town where Hank Scorpio’s business is located;  
They move to Capitol City for Homer’s “Dancin’ Homer” tryout.

They become property of Blockbuster.

O1: When Homer changed his name back, what did he change Marge’s name to, and what were the other choices?  
O2: What were the names of the robots that Homer fought while impersonating a robot?  
O3: What are the two reasons given for Homer’s being stupid, and why wasn’t one of them noticed for a long time?  
O4: When Marge was a cop, what were the violations of the law that disheartened her?

Hooty McBoob, I think, is the last one. Chesty LaRue was another attempt, and I think the third was Busty St. Clair.

O3: The SImpson Gene, and a crayon stuck in his brain. It was not noticed because Dr. Hibbert always held the head x-ray right where the crayon was.

O4: Dog, no leash. Horse, no diaper. Car parked illegaly across _three_ handicapped sopts.

Presumably 764-8437. When Mr. Burns attempted to call Smithers, he dialed the word “Smithers” and ended up reaching Moe’s.
