REVIEW: A-minus - it might have been an A had there not been a couple of songs too many. (Okay, how many people felt that "they ruined a perfectly good parody of Eva Peron with all that fruity singing"?) Rather than end it with some "Lisa saves the day" ending, they not only go off on a different direction, but they even find a way to get Lisa back to her old school before the episode ends...and on the advice of my lawyers, Baron Lloyd-Webber and Sir Tim Rice will hear of this - unless, say, Fox releases seasons 3 and 4 of the "Futurama" DVDs a little earlier than planned?

REFERENCES "Evita" (well, duh) There were two songs from the musical that I recognized: "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" ("Dont Vote/Cry for Me, Kids of Springfield") "Rainbow High" (the song that begins with "Eyes, Pearls, Smile, Hairpoints") Also, Lisa's "logo" looks like the logo used for the Broadway show, and the show (but not the movie) has a "message" at the end (money was raised to build a tomb so Eva Peron could be on display, but it was only half-completed, and her body disappeared for almost 20 years) 1F08 (Marge's gambling problem) Nixon's 1962 California gubenatorial campaign (when he lost, he said "You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around any more") Nixon's 1974 resignation (giving the peace signs as he leaves) "King of the Hill" (the French teacher doesn't speak French, just as substitute Spanish teacher Peggy Hill doesn't speak Spanish) "Ironman" (Nelson tries to sing the Black Sabbath song)

DYN
..."absolutely no money goes to Indians"?  (This could be a crack at
   California, which is trying to get Indian casinos to pay a
   percentage to the state treasury)
...the slot machines pay off in chips?  (Do those really exist?)
...Uter's back?
...Lisa used the term "Gypsies", which is not politically correct
   (they prefer the term "Romani")?
...Lisa's nails, which are usually "invisible", are being painted?
...Lisa calls herself a "super-tween"?  (Eight-year-olds are usually
   too young to be considered "tweenagers")
...the notice Bart read appeared just as Bart read it (rather than
   just "squiggly lines")?
...Lisa's E-mail is smartgirl63_\@yahoo.com, which is an invalid
   address?  (Among other things, yahoo.com accounts cannot contain
   backslashes, and must end with a letter or digit.)
   (Someone at Yahoo has the name "smartgirl63", but does not have
   a matching E-mail account...and something tells me this is not an
   accident)
...the "Simpsons Curse" struck in advance, sort of; wrestler "Road
   Warrior Hawk" died a couple of weeks before the episode aired, and
   the Road Warriors are most associated with the song "Ironman"

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT There was meat on Lisa's dish.

The only Elvis stamps released in the USA had "thin" Elvis.

The school bus has no window on the emergency door.

LYRICS to "I Am Their Queen" (that's what the closing credits called
it)
--------
(chorus) Eyes, Pearls, Smile, Hairpoints
         Dress, Voice, Shoes, Swatch Watch
I may be a new girl
But you can't brainwash me
Just Oshkosh B'Gosh me
And then leave me be
To fight for kid power
I must be heard, not seen
I have to lead wisely
Not just primp and preen
(chorus) Nails, Dimples, Ears, Scrunchie
         Pearls, Lunchbox, Teeth, Milhouse
This beauting-up suits me
There's beauty within me
So let's Olsen Twins me
Give them something to love
This grownup makeover
Has made me a super-tween
For they are my people
And I am their queen

And Hillbillies prefer to be called "sons of the soil," but it ain't gonna happen. (Not attacking your statement, I was just reminded of this.)

I didn't think about Yahoo requirements for their e-mail addresses when I wrote my last response on this, could be true that it wouldn't work on Linux or UNIX.

Well, if it's a valid e-mail address, if it wasn't, I'll bet someone has grabbed it by now.

I was reminded of that myself - that's one of the reasons I included it in the DYNs in the first place (it was Lisa who pointed out that "Siamese" twins should be called "conjoined" twins that prompted Dr. Hibbert to make the "hillbillies" analogy).

If my memory serves me correctly, on Mon, 17 Nov 2003 05:27:51 GMT, Don Del Grande issued the following challenge to face my invincible Iron Chefs:

... Chalmers said "Skin-NER!" a total of four times, a record for an episode?

Stuffs frome me :

D.Y.N - Lenny wears a tie at Elementary School's casino ? - Lisa have hand nails ? - Homer washes plates ? - Lisa use a pan as a mirror ?

Goofs - The letters "N" and "E" from "Lounger" on the door are in the wrong direction in the other side there are written. - Utter moves very fast. We see him near Lisa when she was in front of the Teacher' lounge and we see him 1 second later behind Milhouse when he take the photo. Also note that Utter is not dead, as we could think before.

Previous episodes [AABF06, BABF11] Carnage in a casino [7F19] Elections at school [AABF03] Nelson have answers for test [BABF12] Old camera is used [3G04] Gypsies with earring at school

Lisa's word in french : J'accuse monsieur Catfurberg ("I Blame M. Catfurberg) The guy at the library's french words : Bonjour Lisa, regardez notre biblioth�que (Hello Lisa, look at our library). Note that he use the term "Regardez" instead of "Regarde" which is more grammaticaly correct.

I also have a question : Is that the first time ever we can see a character's hand nails ?

We see Homer's thumbnail when his thumb gets severed in Trilogy of Error. Sadly, he only had finger insurance.

Who are the Road Warriors? I thought of Black Sabbath when Nelson did that bit.

Jim

I saw the Road Warriors many a time, and loved that their intro music was "Iron Man." I also liked Nelson singing to it. That was about all I liked about the episode.

I hate to criticize in advance, but Regina is in Saskacth...ummm, Saska...ummm, it's in Canada.

"Fudge Bacon" wrote in message news:[email]...

But it's also Latin for "queen" like the Queen of England... Plus the obvious reference to the off-Broadway show _The Vagina Monologues_.

"Quadro" wrote in message news:bpedjh$1mjd6g$[email]...

obvious

And having been born in the city of Regina, Saskatchewan... I can tell you they used the Latin to name the city after Queen Victoria.

And in the future, this might come in handy:
