The pioneers reject the apples (Homer spits them out in disgust when he realizes they are apples and not buffalo testicles) and leave Connie behind when she refuses to travel any further unless they switch to apples. Connie, who is against the practice, states ' If you don't stop this slaughter, you'll wipe out the buffalo.' After which they all ridicule her, she is worried that no one is eating a renewable source of food, but a voice guides her to an apple tree and finds some apples for the pioneers to eat, unaware that it was Hans Moleman sinking in quicksand. Connie is part of a wagon train, and all of the travelers shoot and eat great numbers of buffalo. The hobo's second tall tale is loosely based on the legend of Johnny Appleseed, except that Lisa portrays a female version of him and her name is adapted to 'Connie Appleseed'. Disgusted, Homer is forced to oblige, as nobody else will do so, but the hobo does not mind anyone seeing his nakedness. After he done telling the story, the hobo asks them for a sponge bath as compensation.

Paul obliges and throws the meteor towards Chicago, starting the Great Fire there, but not before it hits him in the backside.Īs the hobo was telling this story, Lisa points out that Paul never fought Rodan and that Paul's size kept varying throughout the story, the hobo shrugs her off. When a meteor is soon to hit the town, the townspeople call Paul back to help them. Homer later meets Marge, and though she is initially frightened of him, the two fall in love. Out of loneliness, he carves a block of stone from the mountains into a blue ox that he calls Babe, who is rendered alive by an electric shock, similar to lightning, which apparently originated from the northern lights.

Eventually, the townspeople drag him out of their town after they drug him with beer and Jamitin (as seen in the program where Ned Flanders, Rod Flanders and Todd Flanders create their own film). Many years later as a grown giant he is a great burden on local townspeople, as he crushes their houses and consumes all their food (along with anyone near it at the time). Homer plays Paul Bunyan, starting with his birth where his mother afterwards asks for whiskey. The family jumps onto a freight train and meets a singing, although clearly weird, hobo who tells them three tall tales. While on the train, a hobo tells them some famous tall tales, casting them and other Simpsons characters into the stories.Īfter the Simpsons win a trip to Delaware, Homer refuses to pay a $5 airport tax for his flight. The family rides the rails to travel to Delaware.
