I wasn't able to watch the episode, but somebody tweeted that my alma mater was on there (under its previous name).

I really enjoyed this episode. It was fun to hear about Grampa's past, but a bit of a shock to see he had another wife!
It was also nice to see a close moment between Bart & Lisa (something which we had been discussing recently) and to see Bart does care about her, even if he won't admit it! It's a shame you didn't get to see it, I would definitely suggest keeping your eyes open for a repeat  __________________

I was thinking last night how strange it was that Lisa got addicted to online poker; much like how Marge has her troubles with gambling. Something which runs in the family perhaps?

I finally watched the entire episode.
It looks like Lisa wasn't the only person in Springfield getting hooked on online poker. Even Rev. Lovejoy had to hide his addiction from his wife by saying it was Bible trivia. Rita LaFleur was very flexible. I couldn't even play the piano with my feet like that. Does anybody remember Spiro's last name? I thought Nahasapeemapetilon was tough! __________________

I caught the episode again. And I looked up Spiro's name - it's Papadapaconstantikasgianopolopodopotopolis.
Homer couldn't remember "La Fleur" yet he remembered Spiro's last name. __________________

The kind you would need a microscope to read it?
