A LIST OF STUFF YOU MAY HAVE MISSED COLLECTED BY [email]

(NOTE: I have no idea if something like this was at the Archive, right now I can't access it)

  • Unlike every other "Simpsons" book, GTS has no dedication to Snowball I.
  • On page 9, Lisa is taller than Martin (???).

3. Princess Kasmir can be seen with Kirk Van Houten at the Cider Mill (page 15).

4. At the dog races on page 31: Jimmy the Scumbag, Larry Burns, the Don King look-alike guy, Don Vittorio (along with the rest of the mafia), and Matt Groening.

5. Teens and not-so-teens on page 34: the geeks from "Homer Goes To College" and a bunch of guys who look like cariacatures of the artists (like the guy spraypainting on the skull).

6. The Asian chef guy from "Blowfish" is among the people being blinded by Hans Moleman on page 36.

7. Apparently, the mysterious Roy guy from "Itchy and Scratchy & Poochy" is still in Springfield. He can be seen on pages 34 and 37.

8. The lazy stagehand guy from Channel 6 in "Virtual Springfield" is on page 38.

9. Spraypainted on Springfield Central Monorail Station (page 40): "El Barto", "Nelson", "Dolph", "Jimbo", and "Flyman". Curiously, "Kearny: is nowhere to be found.

10. Pimple-Faced Teen's places of employment: Krustyburger, Taco Mat, Sha-Boom Ka-Boom Cafe.

11. Obese residents of Springfield in line at Taco Mat: Homer, Comic Book Guy, �ter, and Wiggum.

12. Festive personal friends at Sha-Boom Ka-Boom: Birch Barlow, Smithers, John, and Guy-I-Don't-Think-Has-A-Name-But-I-Think-It's-"Gay Guy of Springfield"-But-I'm-Not-Sure.

13. "Nina" can be found on Larry's neck on the Hirschfeld-look-alike cariacatures on page 79. (Hirschfeld works his daughter's name into every cariacature)

14. In line at club on page 82: Brad Goodman, Kirk, Ruth Powers, and "The Leader". The bouncer loks like boxer Diedrick Tatum.

15. Confused shoppers at "Stoner's Pot Palace": Quimby, Wiggum, Otto, and Mr, Mitchell (the blind guy).

16. Souvenier shirts at the Tire Yard:
                  " I Went Where Treads Fear To Tread!"
                 " Burn Steel-Belted Radials Burn!"
  • Skinner has a hairpiece, as shown on 96.

18. On age 99, Kearny tries to steal a Hearthrobs Magazine, featuring "All the Coreys, Then and Now". He also has a Butterfinger bar in his hand.

19. Comic Book Guy has a picture of Radioactive Man beating a President (I don't know which one).

20. Video Games from page 111:
                        "Larry the Looter"
                       " Satan's Funhouse"
                        " Pack Rat Returns"
                        " Shark Bait"
                        " Escape from Grandma's House II" (with sign
proclaiming it's                                     "Reserved For Bart")
                    " Touch of Death"
                         " Al________"   (rest of title is out of viewing
range)

21. Page 118: Crackpot Malibu Stacy! (with sign saying "Ask Me About the Trilateral Commision".

22. The endpaper from inside-front-cover and inside-back-cover is identical to the box "Virtual Springfield" came in.

23. The Box Factory from "Bart Gets Famous" is mentioned on the back and front covers, yet there is no description for it in the book.

Boy, is my hand tired now!

Here's another random error: On page10, it says (paraphrased) Springfield's sweatshops employ 68% of the town's monkey labor employment and Mr. Burns employs the other 22%. 68% and 22% is only 90%, which means they left out 10%.
