The Simpsons: 30 for 30 - Part Three

Like almost everyone else I stopped watching The Simpsons at least 15 years ago, but the show has still had a great influence on me and the stuff I say.

Nearly three years ago I drafted a list of my 30 favourite episodes.

About two and a half years later I finally finished PART ONE.

After a further six months, I've realised I'm never going to properly complete parts two and three. I blame COVID-19. Even for the four months of procrastination from November to March.

So instead I'm providing a very brief synopsis of each episode. Images are generated from the outstanding website frinkiac.com.

Here is PART TWO.

And once in a great while, we are privileged to experience an event so extraordinary, it becomes part of our shared heritage. 1969: Man walks on the moon. 1971: Man walks on the moon... again. Then, for a long time, nothing happened. Until now.

Presenting Part Three....

Review: Messenger Kids

Messenger Kids is a new app that is like Facebook messenger, but for kids. Duh.

Now let's forget about our troubles with a big cone of soft serve ice cream

I was working from home this afternoon, appropriately social distanced.

I hear the familiar tune of Greensleeves, which can only mean one thing:

MR. WHIPPY VAN~!

My twins wrote some books

My twin boys R and J are no longer satisfied with merely drawing pictures, they now have to add words as well...

Fortunately I only own nine books, so there is plenty of shelf space for their literary masterpieces.

Here is one example by each:

Official Rankings of the Best NRL Tattoos

The start of the NRL season is rapidly approaching.

Players are training the house down with alarming frequency. The poor house is barely repaired before some other player has trained it right back down to its foundations. It's the same every pre-season.

Also the same every pre-season are the tattoos. Because they're done with permanent ink inserted just beneath the skin. Therefore they can't change.

Here are the OFFICIAL RANKINGS OF THE BEST NRL TATTOOS~!

There are 16. It was going to be one for each club, but some clubs have more tattoos than others, so it's now 16 for no reason.
