sign seem terribly out of character for Flanders to anybody but me? I
mean, look at what he said in Duffless. ("I was more animal than man!")

Well, it -would- be like Flanders to have something in his basement that
other men would be envious of; a beer tap would fill the bill; knowing
Flanders, he would have only non-alcoholic brew on tap, and even then,
he wouldn't drink any himself.

You forget that Flanders is actually the devil... "It's always the
person you least suspect" from the Halloween episode that referenced
Stephen Vincent Benet's "The Devil and Daniel Webster".

Yes, it did. The whole episode has stuff that makes no sense. (The old
guy Jasper gets his blindness cured by the lase...Hey, when did *Jasper* go
blind? Where's his white cane? Seeing eye dog?)
Regardless. Flanders has had the beer tap for a while -- see the
"Golf" episode where he invites Homer over for a beer and they have a fight.
(Doesn't mean he *drinks* it -- in "Duffless" he said he hasn't had a drink
for something like a decade.)

Jasper had -cataracts- which the first laser shot cleared up; the
second shot turned him "blind"; I assumed he was meaning "back to
their fogged state as before"; easy come, easy go...

Don't forget Flanders has a degree in Mixology from the Episode where Homer
goes after Sherman the Catfish
(he went by the name of Homa...)

Haloween episodes do not subscribe to established continuity, and therefore,
should not be considered strictly canonical, IMHO.

Oh, sure, confuse the issue with facts!
:-)
Besides, how can you use the world "canon" with the word "Simpsons"
anyway? Consider the dozens of contradictory Springfield clues, the
fact that September has 31 days ( Citizen Burns ) and quite a few other
contradictions.

A fine example to support this would be "Bart Simpson's Dracula"... Mr.
Burns doesn't live in _Pennsylvania_!
