Answer: Springfield Downs

This was in the first full-length "The Simpsons" episode, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire". Bart had wasted all the Christmas savings getting his tattoo removed, and Homer didn't have his bonus from work. So they went to the Greyhound races and bet all their money on Santa's Little Helper, but ended up keeping the dog instead of winning money from him.

Answer: Bart's butt!

Also in this episode, Homer went overboard with car gadgets (e.g. a fax machine, DVD player and deep fryer) and accidentally drove into the sea due to obstructed vision. As a result, Homer's driving license was taken away and he became (even more) dependent on Marge, leading her to become resentful towards him. Homer later discovered the joys of walking and became fit, but was later immobilized by Marge, who ran him over with her car whilst carrying out Homer's errands. As the class and Principal Skinner recoiled in shock, Bart tried to swim away triumphantly, but was restrained by an octopus and beaten up by a sea turtle and hammerhead shark!

Laddie, a super-dog, was bought with a credit card Bart acquired under the name of Santos L. Halper.

From Quiz Spineless in Springfield

Answer: Tom

After failing to pick Bart up from a soccer game, Homer fell out of favour with Bart, who went as far as to claim that he had no father. As a result, the Big Brother programme provided Bart with Tom, a Navy pilot who took him on many entertaining trips (e.g. motorbike riding and hand-gliding). Homer soon discovered this and attempted to get even with Bart by getting a "little brother" from the same agency. This boy was named Pepi. Homer and Tom began to fight at the Springfield aquarium and this spilled out into the town centre, where Homer fell and injured his spine on a fire hydrant. In the end, Tom and Pepi were paired up by Bart to be "brothers".

Answer: Killer bees

After opening a crate in a nearby truck, a swarm of killer bees emerged and the crowds fled. The disease originally arrived in cardboard boxes which contained "Juice-Looseners" - a product advertised by Dr. Nick Riviera and Troy McClure. As Marge frantically attempted to cater to her ill family, she became over-stressed and was found to have stolen a bottle of bourbon from the Kiwk-E-Mart. After taking Marge's measurements (8' 6"), Apu pressed charges and landed Marge in jail. The town soon descended into chaos in the absence of Marge and demanded her release.

From Quiz Spineless in Springfield

Answer: Shrimp

The expiration date was scribbled out by Apu and placed on the bargain rack, where it was quickly snapped up by Homer. Homer was taken to hospital and was told that the cause of his illness was either the ingestion of spoiled food, or a voodoo curse, at which point Patty and Selma revealed a doll of Homer and claimed, "Hey, we've just been working the eyes". After being offered 5 pounds of frozen shrimp, Homer claimed that it wasn't frozen at all and that it smelled funny, but he then accepted the offer of a further 5 pounds. Predictably, Homer became even more ill and, undercover, later revealed the poor condition of the Kwik-E-Mart, causing Apu to lose his job.

Skinner exclaimed, "But I didn't burn the school down. It was the butterfly, I tell you, the butterfly!" To which Chief Wiggum replied, "He's crazy, boys. Get the taser." Bart ended this scene with the classic line, "Nobody ever suspects the butterfly." Bart told Lisa this whilst trying to comfort her over the loss of "Bleeding Gums" Murphy - her fellow jazz saxophonist.
