Stone Cutters[edit]

I added the lyrics forthe Stone Cutters theme song, and a list of members in the secret society. I was wondering about 'Homer Glumplich' I put him in the list of Stone cutters, but he was not really in the group. He was in the 'No Homer's group' but I didn't think it was worth making an entire new section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tydamann (talk • contribs) 21:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Stewart playing a character named "Number One" is a cultural reference.

Stonecutters World Council: Orville Redenbacher, Jack Nicholson, Mr. T, George Bush. George Bush was actually a Mason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 22:53, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

X-Men[edit]

An altered clip of Homer with his enemies list was used in an ad for the third X-Men movie. I think this warrants mention, but I'm not entirely sure where it should go. If no one comes up with a better place, I'll just tag it onto Trivia.--Agent Aquamarine 01:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Car license plate[edit]

I added anim8r to the list of license plates, but i dont feel i worded it correctly. Feel free to change it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dested (talk • contribs) 07:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Caller was told that he reached 9-1-2[edit]

The statement "9-1-2 was also used in the season three epsode, "Dog of Death" where Wiggum watches the lottery and hangs up on someone calling 911 by saying that the number for emergencies is 9-1-2" is not quite accurate. A call was dispatched to the station, which Wiggum answered, and he, not wanting to be interrupted from viewing the lottery number picking broadcast, informed the caller that he had called 9-1-2 by mistake, which was a lie. Wiggum did not claim that 9-1-2 was the real emergency number.Mal7798 14:28, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Pool Game[edit]

I just wanted to note that Homer's break during the pool game is reminiscent of a Twilight Zone episode. In "A Nice Place to Visit," the spirit of a dead hoodlum experiences the same thing when he is trapped in a sort of hell where he gets everything that he could ever want.Insert non-formatted text here RobM22 07:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)RobM22[reply]

Censorship?[edit]

Is it true that the scene of the "Secret history", when the Founding Fathers of the United States are portrayed as Stonecutters, was censored in following airings of the episode? MBelgrano (talk) 15:51, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Link[edit]

I don't think that NoHomers.net An unofficial fan page of The Simpsons cartoon should be tagged onto the end of the page. I have removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.253.236 (talk) 13:30, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
