      [the Simpsons are on a wagon train in the Old West]

      Homer: [singing] Cleaning my gun with the safety off, safety off, safety off, cleaning my gun with the...

      [gun goes off, killing a buffalo]

      Homer: Whoopsie.

      Lisa: Dad, you just killed a poor, defenseless buffalo!

      Homer: A poor, *delicious* buffalo. He'll be dinner for the whole wagon train.

      [shoots another buffalo]

      Lisa: Why'd you kill another one?

      Homer: Dessert.

      testicles!" from the "Connie Appleseed" segment.
    • Alternate versions
      In the premiere airing on Sky One, the scenes where Bart and Nelson as Tom and Huck, respectively are lowered into their coffins were cut.

    Sums up S12
    This is another perfectly acceptable but unspectacular episode of the much loved show.

    It's not been a great series (the 12th) and these three short little tall tales don't really do much to change that.
