Homer: "Oh Bartholamew, I feel just like St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan."
Ned: "What did you just say?"
Homer: "I said shut your ugly face, Flanders!"

Now HERE'S a great episode, complete with some of the best Ned characterization in the series. Yes, he's a religious nut here, but not in the negative pushy jerk sense we've seen under Jean. Definite 5/5
