DYN's

the Simpsons now have their own "electric heart starter" machine (forgot the actual name of it)? Moe thinks that it's the 20th Century?

Refs.

The Time Machine -Homer claiming to be the King of the Morlocks

Coyote Ugly -The men dancing on top of the bar

I Love Rock and Roll -The anti-Moe song is sung to the tune of this song

Goofs

In reality, if you dig a hole to the other side of the Earth, you'd end up in Australia, not China.

LOL isn't your statement missing something??

Actually, you'd end up in Rand McNally.

Not necessarily. This was in Homer's story, which was obviously largely fabricated.

Er, it is an expression, not a statement of fact.

SPOILER SPACE

DYN...
     ...the painting of Swigmore U. looks like Springfield U.
        from [BABF06]? (the battlement and towers are identical;
        the intro music is the same when Moe enters)
     ...there's an apparent cut scene? (right when we see the
        credits for Supervising Producer Matt Selman, Marge has
        Homer by the shirt. He then says: "Don't worry, Marge..."
     ...Moe drives his beat-up Jeep pickup truck from [4F11]?
     ...the phone at Moe's has 16 buttons?
     ...Formico's voice is the same as the plastic surgeon's
        from "Pygmoelian"?
     ...Nancy Cartwright voices the second Russian model?
     ...Moe's "m" has real shelves now, not just liquor bottles
        that are "painted on"?
     ...the "m" insignia looks like the M & M's logo... especially
        the spotlights?
     ...Devil's Advocate pinball machine in Homer's garage? (once
        again, I posted this too late to get credit :-( )
     ...in the photograph, Moe is holding a single barrel
        shotgun... not the usual double barrel type?
     ...R.E.M. leaves their gear and instruments when they leave
        the garage?
     ...Moe wears his bow tie, even when he's in camouflage?
     ...the upside down image of both the turkey and Moe's
        silhouette on the front of Homer's gun scope are correct?

Goofs:

= Formico says his name must never be spoken, but Moe says his name later in the episode

= There's an old blue Ford and a Plymoth K car parked in Homer's driveway with other cars blocking them, but when Moe shows up, the two Simpsons cars are in driveway (was it a different night?)

UGH. A couple more corrections, and additions. I'll go quietly :)

Actually, the pickup truck is an early 1970's GMC model.

[AABF07] Someone jumps to the conclusion that youths have done the vandalism

Homer sprays beer and dances with, Lenny, Carl and Barney on the bar counter a la "Coyote Ugly."

Yeah. I think someone else mentioned that, too.

A defibrillator, I believe. (Or maybe a "ventrical defibrillator.")

Maybe. I figured this out once, and if you start digging your hole from the eastern U.S., you'd really reach the Indian Ocean. The easiest way to find the opposite side of the earth is to get your current coordinates, and then reverse them. That is, if you're at 30 degrees north and 85 degrees west, then your tunnel would emerge at 30 degrees south and 85 degrees east.

Well, actually, if you dug to the other side of the planet, you be incinerated by the Earth's molten core. But that's not as much fun.
