Notes: Smithers certainly came out of the closet Pet Shop Boys: Band who made a song about an encounter with Marshall Mathers

What was Hibbert's hairdo at the end of the episode? Was that a black and white Mr T.?

There should have been an even longer version of that song at the end. Awesome song!

A Better version: I think a better episode could have been made if instead of the transition Homer makes to clean cool soft hands Homer they kept him as is and focused on the tension that could develop between brash crass Homer and his new roomies.

REVIEW: Ok, so it was a little of a stretch to make Homer walking the line and I do not like how stereotypically gay his roommates were, but the episode certainly had its moments. I liked how it was Homer being upset at Marge that prompted him to leave as opposed to him doing something in his typical Meta-Homer fashion. Well, it was something kinda jerky that he did in the past that caused Marge to write on the back of Moe's photo, but you all know what I mean. Um, so I guess Homer has now kissed Lurleen, Mindy, Marge, and a man. You go Homer! GRADE: B+ (was funny, especially Al, but it was not realistic how quickly homer made the change to Mod Homer)

An interesting tidbit about that is that Al was planning on doing a parody of that song back in his early days, but he couldn't get permission to use the tune, and it became "Buckingham Blues," from his first album.

Exactly. Homer being over-sensitive instead of being a Jerk-Ass was an unexpectedly nice touch

Not the greatest episode ever (and only the second best gay-related one, below "Homer's Phobia"), but I enjoyed it. I give it *** out of ****. If this is, in fact, one of the weaker episodes of the season, it underscores what a good rebound year it's been for the show.

was that in the episode? i didn't notice it. (I know the reference, I just don't remember it from tonight's episode).

They were doing the puzzle, the window shows it's dark outside, and we see a digital clocking showing "4:20"; Marge says something about "you kids" (which I didn't catch).

I've heard of the reference, but I just noticed now that there likely was significance to that time.

I was wondering which "4:20" it was, AM or PM. The former, and they were up really late, while the latter, it seemed too dark and not really late at all.

At first I didn't get the 4:20 refrence, but now I do. I never thought that the writers were into drug culture. For those of you who don't know, 4/20 (April, 20 which will be Easter this year) is international pot day.

what's interesting is that they chose to put up 4:20 instead of 4:19 or 4:21 if you catch my drift

Let's not forget that Homer has in fact kissed men before, including:

7F02: Karl, his assistant kisses Homer as he bids him farewell 7F11: Homer kisses Moe, Barney and the other barflies because he believes he is going to die 8F23: Homer kisses Herbert Powell after Herb buys him the vibrating chair

The Warriors: When Homer says, 'Puzzle piece, come out and play-ay,' it's a lot like a line from the 1979 movie The Warriors when a character says, 'Warriors, come out and play-ay."
