Trivia

The newscaster on the TV in Goat's shop identifies a landscaper assaulted in his van as from the town of Notlob, Illinois. The fictional town's name could be a subtle reference to the famous "Parrot Sketch" performed in "Monty Python's Flying Circus," (1971). In the sketch, the pet shop owner (Michael Palin) explains that he mistakenly referred to the city of Bolton as the city of Ipswich, claiming it is a palindrome, to which his disgruntled customer (John Cleese) corrects him, saying that the palindrome of "Bolton" is actually "Notlob."
