POSSIBLE REFERENCE Ralph shooting up off of the end of the slide may be a reference to a video of someone being launched off of a Slip 'n Slide-style ramp into a rubber pool of water.
DYN ...the "Upcoming Pranks" were: Night of a Thousand Skunks, Tora Tora Toilet, Untitled Skateboard Project, Who Let the Dogs In?, R.I.P. Skinner, Operation Gumbo Drop, and I Love the M-80's? ...in Milhouse's vision, the sidekick wore a T-shirt that said "e^(i pi) + 1 = 0"? (Which it does, by the way) ...the Daily Fourth Gradian uses typewriters? ...ten years ago, someone named Mrs. Walker was the fourth grade teacher? (She is mentioned in the article about Skinner using ping pong to teach angles) ...the Daily Fourth Gradian headlines include: "Man on Moon, Gum in Urinal", "Lost and Found Box Lost, Found", and "Nerd Stands Up to Bully (Memorial Service Wednesday)"? ...the only diving board the school's pool had was a 3m board? (There should be a 1m board as well - in fact, 1m diving is usually the only diving done in school meets up through high school level.)
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT The song in the opening says "nine Carls dancing," but only eight are dancing; one is playing a violin.
The helium balloons that lifted the engine would not have fit under the hood.
On the gym floor, the 3-point lines don't touch the top of the free throw circles, which is still the rule in high school and below (as well as college women).
Ralph should not have shot into the air like he did at the bottom of the slide.
Bart told Lisa about the two-week gap in the Daily Fourth Gradian before he ever looked at the "later" paper.
Actually, "plastic #7" is not a specific type of plastic, but is the "other" designation for plastics that do not into types 1-6. Since some type 7 plastics may contain Bisphenol-A, a number of people do not drink from any type 7 container.
ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME... 12 Grampas grumbling 11 Barneys belching 10 Lennys leaping 9 Carls dancing 8 Moes-a-milking 7 Selmas smoking 6 Flanders praying 5 golden Frinks 4 crawling nerds 3-eyed fish 2 special Ralphs And a Maggie in a Snugglie (that's Snugglie, not Snuggie)
