The Flaming Homer, also known as the Flaming Moe, is a cocktail drink, accidentally invented by Homer, and stolen by Moe. When Patty and Selma were visiting and showing the Simpsons slides of their holiday, Homer became bored with the slideshow and decided he needed a beer. Selma said that she had taken the last beer and Homer was forced to make something out of leftover alcoholic beverages. Homer returned to the slideshow, and Patty unknowingly dropped her cigarette ashes in Homer's drink, setting it on fire. Homer blew out the fire and discovered that the drink was much tastier.
