* InternalDeconstruction: Homer's drunken rant at the beginning of the episode is one towards the earlier episodes that explained how the Simpsons family came to be. While Homer loves his family, he had to abandon his future prospects and get a job he hates in order to provide for Marge and Bart, and when he was finally able to quit the nuclear plant and get his dream job at the bowling alley instead, Maggie's sudden inspection forced him to give that up and go back to the plant. While he's willing to endure a lot for their sakes, Homer admits he still has some lingering bitterness over how he's pretty much had to dedicate his entire life to them and hasn't been able to follow his own dreams.
