Character Information
|
Gordie Howe is a retired professional hockey player from Canada.
History
Bart was pranking Mrs. Krabappel by answering her personals ad and carrying out a chain of correspondence with her, using "Woodrow" as an alias. When Mrs. Krabappel proposed that they exchange pictures and enclosed a sexy photo of herself, Bart was at first stuck for an idea. However, he started flipping through a book of NHL stars, came across Howe's picture, and decided to use it for Woodrow's picture. As Bart cut Howe's photo from the book, he said, "Strap on your skates, Gordie, you're goin' in."
Behind the Laughter
- In addition to being shown when Bart finds it, Howe's picture is shown at the beginning of the episode's closing credits, along with his hockey statistics.
