The Scorpion's Tale Lisa discovers some scorpions on a school outing with eyes dangling out of their sockets caused by a flower. A drug from this flower makes old people cheerful and no longer grouchy. But unfortunately a side effect causes eyeballs to lubricate and dangle out on their optic muscles.
Guest starring Werner Herzog.

The episode starts with a real coyote chasing a real roadrunner. Meep meep! They have goofy Latin names like Propertius Warnerbrosa etc.
“Meep Meep!” said the roadrunner as a car ran over the coyote. “Meep Meep!” It said again before being ran over by Otto’s bus he was driving and taking children from Springfield Elementary on a school trip. They stop and the children and Skinner get off.
“Whoooooaaa! It’s like that planet from Star Wars!” said Otto.
A Tusken Raider/Sand Man roared and shook his gaffe stick.
“Man it’s so hot out here I might have to give the sun a wedgie!” Nelson groaned because of the heat.
“I wet my arm pants!” said Ralph with wet armpits from sweating. Yeeeech!
“Yeeeeech!” said Kerne putting deodorant on via a roll on deodorant stick.
“Now pay attention children.” said Skinner. “We’re at the Devil’s Anvil. No one knows exactly why it’s called that.” In the background is a giant stone sculpture of a devil or the devil holding a hammer about to strike an anvil he was working at. Coooool!
