The rest of the episode, however, was bright and cheerful, focusing mostly on the Great American Pastime, with a few random references to things like building ships in a bottle - a hobby preferred by LOST’s ageless sage, Richard Alpert - and the Berenstain Bears. It all begins when, after learning from Springfield Elementary’s lone Ivy League alum that extracurricular accomplishments are essential for getting into an upper crust school, Lisa decides it’s time to beef up her resumé. Merely starting a recycling program for the school and serving as treasurer for the jazz club is simply not going to cut it. She gets one of my favorite lines of the episode when Marge, trying to cheer her up after Maggie brutally defeats her in a fencing match, tells her that she’s sure she can still get into “the Harvard of Canada”. Lisa replies, “Anything that’s the Something of the Something isn’t really the Anything of Anything.”
The Harvard of Canada being McGill by the way. And Lisa, as usual, was/is on point. Booyah. Check the full post out here. See also: Wall and Piece
