Lisa tries to protest that the project does not have a scientific merit, but everyone just ignores her. At the science fair, Marge says she isn't too sure about the idea of Lisa using her brother as a test subject, but Lisa insists that it is all scientific theory (immediately after her monologue reveals Lisa's true intentions of getting back at Bart). He plans to lead her on a treasure hunt to get them back but she finds them after a few seconds. Meanwhile, Bart is furious when he finds Lisa's project notes and hides them. Homer reminisces about the time he first drank beer, passing out listening to Queen, and is taunted by ubiquitous sights of beer, but later comes to realize the fact that watching baseball sober is boring, and that beer commercials falsely state that beer transforms angry feminists into attractive women in bikinis who cling to ordinary men. Hearing his answers, she asks him to give up beer for a month, to which he finally agrees. In bed, Marge gives Homer a magazine quiz about his drinking. After two tests, the hamster leads 2-0.Īt Homer's first AA meeting, Reverend Lovejoy says that after finishing AA he will never drink a beer again, Homer screams and runs off. Lisa tests both the hamster and Bart first in acquiring out of reach food, then in the electroshock theory. She takes the idea to heart, but instead of just testing the intelligence of a rodent, she pits a hamster against an unknowing Bart to find out which is smarter. Lisa appeals to Marge for help, who suggests she run a hamster through a maze. ![]() His juvenile mind takes over when he sees the opportunity to hurl it at a bent-over Skinner. Three days before the science fair, Lisa leaves her super tomato under Bart's care for a moment, forgetting that it was Lisa's project. In the meantime Barney, who is obviously drunk, is allowed to drive off after running over Wiggum. His license is suspended, and he must attend traffic school and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Homer, who has hardly had anything refuses to let Barney drive home after the tour since he drank plenty to pass out, but Lou, Eddie and Chief Wiggum, who have been waiting outside the factory for anyone on the tour to drive off pull him over and despite passing a sobriety test flawlessly (touching his nose with his fingers alternately while balancing on one foot and saying the alphabet) he is arrested when Barney tells the cops to use the breathalyzer. At the brewery the two partake in free samples, Barney much more than Homer. Meanwhile, Homer plans to duck out of work and go on a tour of the Duff Brewery with Barney. Bart's actual project is the effect of cigarettes on canines, mainly Santa's Little Helper, but Marge orders Bart to thwart it. ![]() Principal Skinner declares "First Prize" over and over, while Bart's dream fades out to Lisa saying into Bart's ear "First prize.first prize." She explains she was "just screwing with mind."Īt breakfast, Lisa shows the family her science fair project: a genetically engineered tomato she hopes will cure world hunger. The episode opens at the school science fair, with Bart presenting a Go-Go Ray: He zaps all the teachers, causing them to dance uncontrollably. Meanwhile, after Bart ruins Lisa's science fair project, she comes up with a new experiment: To determine which is smarter, Bart or a hamster. Homer is arrested for drunk driving, and Marge persuades him to swear off beer for a month, which gives Homer a whole new outlook on life.
