* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Mr. Burns chose Homer to house-sit for him while he is away, who then proceeds to take his private yacht for a spin to International Waters ("the land that law forgot", as Homer calls it). Just as the party really takes off, a group of Chinese pirates take the ship hostage; everyone gets robbed and tied up in a net which is thrown overboard, but fortunately Homer, Bart, and a few others who happen to be floating above ocean eventually made it out, but the people who were beneath the net drowned.

* FormalFullArrayOfCutlery: While house-sitting for Mr. Burns, the family sits down to have sloppy-joes for dinner, and they end up using a bunch of different pieces of silverware--Marge notes that it's probably overly-elaborate for something as simple as sloppy-joes and admits that she knows what all but one of the forks are for. The only fork that Marge doesn't know is very long, but according to Homer, it's apparently a good butt-scratcher.
