More good ones.

I think Bart used the bends as an excuse(mabye in the one where he tries to get out of a test multiple times?) David

"I'll plug YOUR hole...I mean, eureka!"-Homer Simpson Chicago Cubs...93 years and counting

How about the [AABF18], "They Saved Lisa's Brain"?

(Dr. Hibbert is examining Carl, who is shaking uncontrollably after eating some of Grandma Plopwell's pudding.)

Dr. Hibbert: Do you have diabetes?

Carl: N-n-n...n-n-n...no...

Dr. Hibbert: Well, you do now!

Ants in the Pants Bonus Eruptus Obstructed Bowel Bee sting allergy

All from 3F18.

What is the technical term for "Bee Sting allergy?" Any medical-type persons here?

Also; I don't recall obstructed bowel in the episode. Where was that referenced? Milhouse needing to go to the bathroom?

You mustn't forget "Homer Simpson Syndrome" from the one where Homer fights Tatum for the Heavyweight Championship

Another... [3F13] Diphtheria.

To the person who submitted "Homer Simpson Syndrome"... who do I credit? "foolin" or "G"? Or, is there a name you would like credited?

I do have a name - if you look closely at the header of the news file then I'm there. Failing that, allow me to introduce myself:

Name: Graeme Thorn Age: 22 Lives: in England, somewhere (does it really matter where?)

My first episode was Who Shot Mr. Burns; my useless parents were so cheap they didn't subscribe to satellite T.V. till then. After that I went to uni (still here) which gave me more opportunity to catch up on the rest.

'foolin' comes from one of my favourite songs - seemed sensible to have as an email address.

Possibly "Foolin'", by Def Leppard?

Lyme disease - Pincipal Skinner mentions it as an excuse for one of the female teachers after she's been dumped.

Ms. Hoover had Lyme disease. Is this the teacher you are thinking of?

The hantavirus.

Don't remember the episode. Krusty opens by apologizing for it. "Pray For Mojo" wrote in message news:[email]...

Didn't Dr. Hibbard once tell Mr. Burns that he had some sort of "Three Stooges Syndrome"? This refers to all the germs and viruses trying to get into his body at the same time and being trapped in a doorway like the Three Stooges?

In reference to another current thread, what about "Hairdresser Dementia."?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with her work. (Meaning... "Hairdresser wuzzuh?" Meaning "in what episode was that?")

I was kidding about the hairdresser crap. But, I am serious about the "Three Stooges Syndrome", or whatever it is called. But I couldn't find the episode at www.snpp.com.

BABF08 - "Mansion Family"

- mirilidium That's influenza, that's bronchitis, and this cute little cuddle-bug is pancreatic cancer.

"Stan" wrote in message news:[email]...

I think so. Hibbert diagnosed her with that, and prescribed a "wowwy pop". She says "Don't patronize me, doctor."

Searching SNPP.COM isn't yeilding results on that.

"The Rack" wrote in message news:v23w7.9180$[email]...

Ah... searching my old archives from my ICBIASS days reveals episode 8F24 Kamp Krusty. (That's what episode I thought it was from).

Well if we're including psychological disorders then you have to include Bart's "unfortunate bout with tourette's syndrome" from 9F05.

Kevin

I think Homer gets ricketts in one episode.

This beast of a word apparently is a lung disease caused by inhaling volcanic ash, and according to http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/hartford/120/funfacts.html it is the longest word in the English language as well.

Grandpa and Marge's mom also suggests cures for "the shakes" which Magie is diagnosed with in 1F21.

I fail to remember that. Huh. Guess I'll have to warm up the video tape machine for that one.

Well, whattya know. I went, I saw, and you're right. That's an episode I'm not too familiar with. Good catch.

The way Grampa says it "that'll stop them shakes" sounds more like a symptom than the name of a disease. Good effort. Thanks for all your research.

Don't know if this is one of the ones below, but Grandpa's kidney exploded. Don't remember if Dr. Hibbert gave that a name or not.

Also, in the '22 Short Films..' episode, Dr. Nick mentioned a few memorable illnesses pertaining to Grandpa.

Bart has broken bones on at least two occasions (Lisa the babysitter and Bart the daredevil). Does that count?

Since not everything on this list is a disease, how about when Grandpa says (paraphrasing) "They say she died of a burst aorta, but I know she died of a broken heart"

That would go on some sort of "injuries" list--and would require a re-bigulator, which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud, with the chortling and the chuckling and the--
