![]() Memorable Quote: “I’m going to do what clowns do best: kill.” It’s pleasantly morbid, especially with the Pixar 3-D animation, although the Randy Newman soundalike brings to mind the apple song from Family Guy ( Family Guy did it …?). Except instead of treating his toys with kindness and love, like Andy, Bart has more in common with Sid, the sadist next door. Reason for Ranking: The same year that the Simpsons short “Playdate With Destiny” played before Pixar’s Onward came this parody of the animation studio’s first (and best, in this writer’s humble opinion) movie, Toy Story. Plot: Bart’s toys fight back after he blows up a Radioactive Man doll in the microwave. “Toy Gory,” Treehouse of Horror XXXI (Season 32, 2020) Or, in the spirit of the season, should I say, “ Heeeeeeere’s Treehouse!” (Hi Treehouse, I’m Grampa.) Below, you’ll find a ranking of every “Treehouse of Horror” segment - over 100 of them - from worst to best. It’s oddly soothing knowing that every October (or occasionally November) there’s going to be a new Halloween-themed episode it’s the same feeling that Vince Guaraldi’s A Charlie Brown Christmas score evokes during the December holidays, but a lot more violent. Yesterday, The Simpsons delivered the 33rd installment of the horror-anthology series, which typically contains an intro and three segments (often with unofficial hosts Kang and Kodos). The only thing scarier than lousy Smarch weather is time’s refusal to march forward. Thirty-plus years later, Harrison Ford is playing Indiana Jones again, there’s been something like 47 Batman movies, and “Treehouse of Horror” is still around, same as it ever was. The last year without a new “Treehouse of Horror” episode of The Simpsons was 1989, when Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Batman were the two highest-grossing movies of the year. It has been updated to include segments from every The Simpsons Halloween episode that has aired since then, including 2022’s “Treehouse of Horror XXXIII.” The first was " The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star".This article was originally published on October 31, 2011. This is the second episode where Bart makes a meaningful reference to one of his catchphrases.Homer seems to have gotten over his fear of sock puppets.Tress MacNeille is a voice actress on the show who voices lots of extra-characters as well as some recurring characters such as Dolph, Agnes Skinner and Mona Simpson. The animal sound tape Lisa played for Bart said " Tress MacNeille" on the cover and when Homer is entering the killing floor of the slaughterhouse he hears a voice say "You are now entering the killing floor", Homer then comments "Hmm, that sounds like Tress MacNeille".However, this is probably a criticising reference to yokels marrying over and over again. Brandine Spuckler was 13 when she married Cletus and she had already been divorced four times before that, and his father.According to Marge, Bart "still sits in the driveway and pretends to drive the car".This is a reference to a similar scene from the end of Casablanca and not a mistake or joke. As Lou leaves on the flight to India, the national anthem of France is played instead.Bart that look like reference, her catchphrase : don't have cow, man.Mary's middle name is "Wrestlemania" which is the biggest pay-per-view of WWE.The blackboard gag is a reference to 'Horton Hears a Who' by Dr.When Lou is being sent off, Bart says, "Here's lookin' at you cud," which is a reference to Humphrey Bogart's famous line, "Here's lookin' at you kid." The entire scene is a parody of the ending scene to Casablanca.Bart drives the harvester and turns manure into DVDs of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.The cartoon called "Trans-Clown-O-Morphs" is a parody of Transformers.The show has spoofed the movie lots of times. ![]() The episode's title is a reference to the film Apocalypse Now. ![]()

![]() This little volume’s a slam-dunk: educational and amusing, all in one cute package.ĭoes the child in your life love picking up interesting shells or rocks at the beach or park? Then he or she will love this Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Junior Explorer Geology and Fossils Activity Book (US $7.00 includes FREE shipping) that includes fun facts, a crossword puzzle, and activities about rocks and fossils for explorers ages 8 to 12, along with a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Junior Explorer Certificate that proves the child is a true budding “rock star.” Most schools now include this information in their curriculum, so the book is a good reinforcement of that learning-and it’s also a coloring book. There’s a list of important things for kids to remember in a fire. Marty and Jett’s Activity Book: Let’s Have Fun with Fire Safety (US $5.00 includes FREE shipping) activity book comes with cutouts for junior fire badges and finger puppets, coloring pages, a maze, and a fill-in-the-blanks puzzle.

You need to get something small to give your little ones as well as the big presents, and it encourages your kids to read more if you give books as gifts.

For help with this goal, turn to GPO’S US Government Bookstore, especially the wallet-friendly Bargains Under $20 page-it’ll help you wipe out your stocking stuffer list in a red-hot minute. You need to get some creative gifts, stat. On Cyber Monday, as I write this, it’s time to get ready for some serious shopping: we’re in the middle of Hanukkah, and we’ve got a mere twenty-three days before Christmas and twenty-four days before Kwanzaa. So by now we’ve worn the stretchy pants for Thanksgiving, and powered through the mall on Black Friday. It seems that few Americans, despite their religious convictions, can resist the ritual of end-of year gift-giving and the ties the practice strengthens among us. And although Kwanzaa isn’t supposed to include gifts, some parents give their children gifts on Kwanzaa days. American Jews in the late nineteenth century started to promote Hanukkah-a minor Jewish festival-as a time for Jewish parents to give their own children gifts, so that American Jewish children wouldn’t feel left out when their peers got gifts. Giving gifts at Christmastime eventually became de rigueur, even for secular and non-Christian people. Although the pilgrims at Massachusetts formally outlawed public celebrations of Christmas for twenty-two years, the whole Christmas juggernaut eventually won out in the United States. Gift-giving became a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, just as pagan Yule branches became “Christmas trees”. ![]() The pagans may have given gifts at the Yule celebration as well.Ĭhristianity later took over much of Europe, and the Christians, like the Romans, learned that the best way to truly conquer was not to divide, but to incorporate. Any visitors to the Irish Neolithic pagan monument Brú na Bóinne** are left in no doubt of that. Pagans and Druids celebrated the winter solstice festival, Yule, and although by many accounts it was not the most important pagan festival, it was celebrated quite a bit. When the Romans conquered Britain, they incorporated pagan religious practices into their festivals, so that the locals felt more integrated into the Roman Empire. ![]() ![]() The Romans gave gifts or money for gift-giving at Saturnalia, a winter festival that lasted seven days according to some sources, the gift-giving occurred on the last day of Saturnalia (December 23). The practice dates to the pagan and druid peoples of Rome, the British Isles and Scandinavian countries. Source: From the bottom of the barrel blog.

For centuries, Europeans and North Americans have been giving gifts around Christmastime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bowes JH, Kenten RH (1948) The amino-acid composition and titration curve of collagen.Although consuming gelatin won’t provide an immediate improvement on current health conditions, it is a healthy and fun ingredient to have around the kitchen. There are also a lot of other benefits that need more scientific studies on, including: promoting nail and hair growth sleep aiding joint-pain relief and balancing hormones. In addition, home-made gelatin desserts are low in calories! Check out fruity gummies, champagne jellies, and fluffy marshmallows! Aiding weight loss: as a protein, gelatin is slower to digest, keeping the stomach feeling fuller for a longer time which helps reduce cravings.And as mentioned in the previous paragraph, gelatin is largely composed of glycine, so getting this amino acid from gelatin would be more efficient than other sources. This may trigger inflammation and also affect how normal bacteria in your gut may function, leading to digestive problems. The amino acid glycine in gelatin can help strengthen the mucous membrane layer of the stomach. Aiding digestion: Have you heard of the leaky-gut syndrome? It’s when the gut lining has large cracks or holes in it, where bacteria and toxins are able to ‘leak’ through.Food-safety wise, gelatin from grass-fed cows is recommended over those from an unknown source (the small packets that you can normally see in a grocery store). A common way to consume gelatin is from bone broth, but powdered gelatin is also a good choice. So for the sake of regenerating collagen, getting these amino acids from gelatin is more efficient as it contains a larger ratio of them compared to other protein sources such as meat or eggs, but you might want to check out other sources if your diet requires more of the other amino acids. Providing amino acids to help synthesize collagen in the human body: collagen itself is a protein extracted from the skin, bones, and joints of animals, and when consumed, will be broken down into the amino acids that are required to synthesize collagen in one’s body, mainly glycine, proline, and lysine (Bowes and Kenten 1948 Pauling and Corey 1951).So, what exactly does gelatin do for us? Some benefits of gelatin/collagen include: The collagen that you usually see in stores is hydrolyzed collagen, yet it has the same benefits as the cheaper gelatin, just easier to digest. Did you know that gelatin is actually just a more processed form of collagen? ![]() We never use supermodels or other gimmicks to sell our products.Collagen is a widely known health product that can make skin look healthy and youthful, while gelatin is seen around kitchens as a food thickener.

The association of leaven with evil underlines the fact that bread or leaven can represent temptation, false teaching, or materialism. So important was this concept that a special festival of unleavened bread was instituted ( Lev 23:6 ). ![]() In the first Passover, the eating of unleavened bread typified the haste of Israel's departure from Egypt ( Exod 12:8-11 ), although there are already indications that leaven is associated with the pervasive influence of evil ( Exod 12:14-20 ). Of particular importance in Israel's worship is unleavened bread. Bread was also used as part of an offering of thanksgiving to God ( Lev 7:12-13 ). It played a role in the consecration of the Aaronic priests ( Exod 29:2-3 ). The ritual and theological texts of the Bible often refer to bread. Also, bread can symbolize a financial investment ( Ecc 11:1 ). Metaphorically, eating the "bread of idleness" is to indulge oneself without doing one's household duty ( Prov 31:27 ). Conversely, to take someone's bread and then turn against that person is to commit a heinous offense of ingratitude and betrayal, as in the case of Judas Iscariot ( Psalm 41:9 John 13:18-30 ). The giving of bread to another is a major element of hospitality and serves as a sign of respect and concern ( Gen 14:18 18:6 19:3 Deut 23:4 Ruth 2:14 1 Sam 25:18 28:24 2 Sam 16:1-2 ). As the mainstay of life, bread came to be a primary metaphor for life and sustenance.īread in the Bible functions as a social bond. Meat was eaten by peasants only at festival occasions, and other foods supplemented bread.

It is equipped with a decent amount of control cards to protect your creatures Mtggoldfish only publishes 5-0 lists and major tournaments.With the ability to ramp out into the late game, Izzet Dragons is the type of midrange deck that fits well into the meta.Use your counterspells as well as your board wipes frequently and you will be in a good position for the later parts of the game.The main concept of this deck is to prevent the opponent from casting their big spells so that you can hang around until you mill them out.It is also equipped with spells that can protect your life total or your hand so you can reach the later stage of the game with a massive advantage.By eliminating the concept of Rogues and focusing primarily on mill, you can get a faster combo to deal with your opponent’s library.One of the best versions of control in the meta is Dimir Control.Tibalt is also a good mana sink that can surely secure a win if you can cast it and protect it for the succeeding turns.Maximize Valki, God of Lies to copy whatever powerful creature is exiled with it.Since this deck is graveyard-based, use your sacrifice spells as well as discard spells frequently to ensure a constant source for your graveyard spells.It also gives a good amount of value with regards to the spells you cast.The creature-based meta makes for a good target for Sacrifice as it can wipe out your opponent’s creatures easily.Sacrifice decks are still pretty powerful as they can deal with a huge portion of decks in the meta.Making sure you have the right amount, and order, of ETB cards when casting Yorion can be the difference between a win or a loss.Utilizing the proper sequencing of your spells can help in securing wins with this deck.It also presents a great win condition for a dynamic gameplay.Since the meta is focused primarily on creatures, this version of the deck is fine-tuned to deal with those.Just like the past versions of Esper Yorion, the Sultai counterpart is also a powerful deck that can deal with a wider range of threats in the meta.You can always cast another copy to finish off the remaining health points. You should also take note that when using Zenith Flare, you don’t always need to have the exact amount of damage to end the game.Maximizing your turns is the only advice that you need as you can always Cycle your cards during the opponent’s turn.This deck does not have a lot of strategies that you need to be aware of.It can provide you with easy access to cards as your deck revolves around drawing cards.You can win with either beatdown using creatures or a single shot of Zenith Flare to the opponent’s face.The most unique deck in terms of win condition and concept.Except for a few decks, creature-based decks are still dominant in Standard. With the next major set coming up in September, we still won’t expect drastic changes to the meta, especially in Standard. If you want to provide feedback on Brewer's Corner lists, you can use the feedback form found in the changelog channel on our Discord server and linked below.The current Standard meta still currently revolve around creatures bashing each other.

Turn to the commune, he would be seized and burned alive. Dante always felt that his difficulties had been brought about by the trickery of Boniface, and this added to his continually ailing opinion of him. Dante returned to find himself exiled on puffed-up charges of “embezzlement, opposition to the pope and his forces, disturbance of the peace of Florence,”(Bergin 13) and a number of other transgressions. The Blacks staged a revolution and gained complete control of the commonwealth. After the talks, Dante was retained and during his absence Charles of Valois entered Florence. It was at this time that Dante was sent was one of three envoys on behalf of the commune to the pope,”(Bergin, 12) in order to request a change in papal policy toward the city. In 1301, Boniface summoned Charles of Valois and his army to Italy attempting to neutralize antichurch forces in Florence. The events, however, only served to worsen his already adverse opinion of Boniface. Dante was saved from this fate only because his term of office was about to expire. In the summer of 1300, Dante, as one of the six magistrates of Florence, opposed Boniface! To show his displeasure Boniface wanted to excommunicate the members. By taking advantage of the unrest in Florence, Boniface attempted to take control of the city and undermine his opponents by “promising protection to those who displayed some sympathy with his cause.” (Bergin, 8). Dante, meanwhile, fought to preserve the independence of Florence, and repeatedly opposed the schemes of Pope Boniface VIII, who wanted to place Florence under the control of the church. The Whites eventually associated themselves with the Ghibellines. The Blacks, the faithful Guelphs, remained in control. Around 1300, however, the Guelph party split into two hostile factions: the Blacks and the Whites. The Guelphs were the ones who finally prevailed in the end. If the ruling authorities in any town took one name, the opposition usually took the other. By tradition, certain towns were Guelph and others Ghibelline. The Hohenstaufens were wiped out in the mid-1200’s and the names lost their original meaning. ![]() The Ghibellines favored the Holy Roman Empire, and the Guelphs supported the pope, who opposed the authority of the Holy Roman emperor in Italy.
