Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions.

Ah.

Superintendent Chalmers.

Welcome.

- I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.

- Yeah.

Oh, egads! My roast is ruined.

But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour.

Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill.

Isometric exercise.

Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh.

That isn't smoke.

It's steam.

Steam from the steamed clams we're having.

Mmm.

Steamed clams.

Whew.

Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers.

I thought we were having steamed clams.

D'oh, no.

I said steamed hams.

That's what I call hamburgers.

You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes.

It's a regional dialect.

- Uh-huh.

Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York.

Really.

Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams.

" Oh, not in Utica.

No.

It's an Albany expression.

I see.

You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.

Oh, no.

Patented Skinner burgers.

Old family recipe.

- For steamed hams.

- Yes.

Yes.

And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled.

Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second.

- Of course.

Well, that was wonderful.

A good time was had by all.

I'm pooped.

Yes.

I should be- Good Lord! What is happening in there? - Aurora borealis.

- Uh- Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen? - Yes.

- May I see it? No.

Seymour.

! The house is on fire.

! No, Mother.

It's just the northern lights.

Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.
