Plot
Mr. Burns plans on eating a jar of pickles for lunch, but is unable to open the jar. Everyone else in the plant is not able to open it either. Mr. Burns feels he needs tougher employees, so he directs Lenny, Carl and Homer in a commercial to promote the plant. When Homer sees what a good job he did in the commercial, he plans on becoming an actor. As he fills out his Screen Actors Guild form, Bart points out he hasn't filled in his middle name, having just put the initial "J". Homer admits that he doesn't know his middle name - He consults Grampa about it, who does not remember its origin, but suggests where it might be. They drive to a farm run by two middle-aged hippies, Seth and Munchie, who were friends of Homer's mother back when she had been a hipster. They point out a mural she painted which reveals Homer's middle name - "Jay". Homer sees how care-free his life would be if he were a hippie and thus decides to become one.
Homer dons a poncho and carries around a frisbee (which has "Homer Jay" enscribed on it) as part of his hippie guise. He visits the farm where he joins Seth and Munchie in their game of hackie-sack. The fun soon ends when Seth and Munchie have to go back to work, as they have their own organic juice plant right in their barn. Because of this, Homer believes that they are not hippies and so convinces them to join him on a "freak-out". After their little luck freaking out squares, they return to the barn, only to find that it is flooded with Seth and Munchie's juice and broken bottles - this is because Homer's frisbee has ended up inside the "juicillator" machine, jamming it and thus ruining Seth and Munchie's shipment. In fury, they remind Homer he's not a hippie and he never was or will be one.
At night, Homer plans on making it up to Seth and Munchie by taking some crops from their garden and making the juice with them, which he then distributes to every store in town. However, he also uses some of their "personal crops". As a consequence, anyone who drinks the juice has crazy hallucinations. Chief Wiggum catches on and soon the police surround the farm. Homer comes out front to defend Seth and Munchie and hippie honor by reminding the police of the morals taught by the 1960s, planting a flower in each of their guns as he does so. However, Wiggum discharges his gun, lodging the flower from it in Homer's forehead. At the hospital, Dr. Hibbert says he cannot remove the flower, as he claims he is not a gardener.
