This message might have been posted twice; there's something goofy about newsgroups for me tonight.

DYN:

	... the beginning of this episode is similar to the plotline of the "King of
	the Hill" episode that immediately preceded it? (Hank is chosen to
	carry the Olympic torch, but 	drops it in a puddle and it goes out. With
	wacky results.)
	... a school as expensive as Springfield's private school doesn't have an
	alarm system? One ought to go off immediately after Principal Skinner
	breaks the window.
	... "Nyah nyah" music plays as the private school bullies toss Greta's
	bookbag?

... Bart uses Wolfgang Puck's rice crispie treats as weapons?

	... the star of "Canadian Graffiti" looks like the recruiter for the YMCA's
	"Proper Young Man" class?

Movie (and other) references:

	"Donder and Blitzen"
	The Donderblitzen sausage is, of course, a reference to two of Santa's
	reindeer.

the reindeer's name in the story "the night before christmas" is donder. although, for some reason, it's donner in the song "rudolph the red-nosed reindeer."

No, it's not similar to the plotline. The plotline is completely different. The torch is simply one of the same gags.

Since the fair was going on at the time, it's safe to assume that the school was open at the time, therefore in use. Hence, no need for the alarm system.
