DYN ...the show got a PG (instead of a 14) even though somebody said "penis"? ...Maggie's bow has a ribbon on it as well, instead of it being a "clip-on" or tied directly into her hair? ...The "From the ___ of ___" stationery has returned? ...Manjula mentions "international short-form (cricket) rules"? (Presumably, she means something like Twenty20)
WHERE IS SPRINGFIELD? ...Springfield is either in Barney, ND or a new suburb of Denver? (Moe says the ZIP code spells "BOOBS" on a calculator, which is either 50058 (Barney) or, upside-down, 80085 (codes starting with 800 are in the immediate Denver area)
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Just a reminder: in the USA, Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May.
The episode included a scene where a ferry runs into a port, even though it first aired the day after a Staten Island Ferry boat ran into a pier. (Usually, in a situation like this, either they would cut the scene or even replace the episode with another one.)
Moe and Manjula are playing a two-player dancing game on a single dance pad.
The cricket ball Apu was holding did not have a seam. (The seam is what allows the bowler to put spin on the ball.)
