Yes, I know I'm late, but now that I have a much faster connection I can download the new episodes, watch them and participate in capsule submissions. ------------- Review: I found this episode very amusing (it will certainly be one of my favorites), but the final grade is A (not A+ because some gags when I watched them for the second time were not funny anymore). I'm glad that Homer is united with his brain (for a change) and his thinking is of a normal person (well, at liest 90% of the time). The good thing is that, as always, at the end he's himself again. It would be very disturbing to see a "sane" Homer next week.
DYN ... when Bart asks for a beer, he gets one, although he's a minor? (Beer here -- Sure sonny) ... Bart never pays for the beer? ... Burns is illiterate/semi-illiterate/needs glasses? ... when Homer is selling the ostrich-burgers, there is no price or anything?
