This episode ruled it for the heist. Skinner's pizza strategy had me rolling.
Neil Gaiman: I'm so proud of us!
Bart: Aww, you didn't write any of it!
Neil Gaiman: That tuna didn't salad itself!

Best episode this season.

The AV Club recapped paused it enough to catch a lot of the background book title gags:

As with last week, lots of good freeze-frame fun. (I was watching as it was on, so thanks to SS for the AV Club link so I could catch it all. "I got the idea from every movie ever made" may be the best quotable Simpsons line since "the rat symbolizes obviousness!", and "Sit Stay Love" cracked me up. |
