* PapaWolf: Combines with BigBrotherInstinct when Lisa tells Bart and Homer about Moe taking full credit for Lisa's poem. This angers both of them and leads them to get revenge on Moe by pouring a large jar of maple syrup on him. Fortunately for Moe, he and Lisa make up just in time, and even after the syrup is poured, it is so viscous that Moe is easily able to walk away long before it gets near him.

Moe shrugs, saying, "Still in the Top 3." Then another lightning bolt knocks a bird's nest of eggs off a nearby tree and onto Moe's head, leading to the mother bird to fly down and peck at his head. After she flies away, Moe mutters, "Still in the Top 10." Then the bird comes back and pecks him some more.
