Notes for FABF15 (Simple Simpson) another reference

I haven't seen anybody mention my favorite line from the episode. When Mr. Burns is exhorting Homer to pie the girl on the porch, he says "It's cobblering time!" (Remember the Thing's catchphrase?)

I thought it was a reference to the desert "cobbler"/i.e. peach cobbler...

Yes it was. It was also a pun on the Thing's phrase, "It's clobbering time!"

According to http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F13.html, you can still be "Worker of the Week" regardless of ... rank odor.

I didn't catch that. I did think his bit with Smithers and the baby carriage was the best Burns moment we've had in years (why is Burns so underused?).
