Top 5 All Time Best Episodes of the Simpsons

Selma's Choice A somewhat dark humored episode what with Homer singing 'on top of spaghetti' on the way to the funeral of Aunt Gladys, and changing it to "ding, dong, the witch is dead" after being lectured by Marge. This episode includes such great moments as Bart and Lisa's counting game in the car, a trip to duff gardens, Homer eating a month old sandwich, and Lisa on a drug trip. Best Line: "EEECH! Back to the loch with you Nessie!" after groundskeeper Willy watches Selma's dating service video.

Boy scouts 'N the Hood After a wild Squishy bender, Bart wakes up to realize that he has joined the junior campers. This one has some great character interaction with Homer and Flanders, as well as guest voice Ernest Borgnine. Best Line: "mmm floor pie."
Deep Space Homer Some people tried to say this was the shark jumping episode, and it had the potential with the whole Homer in space storyline. The episode, however, became an instant classic. Homer is in top form here with his angry, dumb, charm. Best Line: "What do you have to do to get some Tang around here?"
Bart On The Road One great thing about The Simpsons is the huge collection of great side characters to bring into the story. "Bart on the Road" makes perfect use of side characters Nelson, Martin, and Milhouse. The interactions of the kids as they embark on a road trip adventure makes for excellent TV. Best line: "Hot Damn! No more sittin in the dirt at the drive in!"
22 Short Films About Springfield One of the most unique episodes of The Simpsons, this one sets out to tell some of the stories of the other Springfield residents. Essentially it's a collection of shorts. Stories featured include Principle Skinner inviting his boss over for dinner, Chief Wiggum in a "Pulp Fiction" style plot, and Cletus the slack-jawed yokel, among others. Best line: "Slow Down Sir! You're going to give yourself skin failure!"

MGK Rap Devil VS Eminem kILLSHOT. Who won?

Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem have made rap battles interesting again. With one music video Machine Gun Kelly launched his career to a level never achieved in his mediocre history as a somewhat known rapper. Shortly after its release, the Eminem dis track "Rap Devil." Went viral. Suddenly the moderately successful and not widely known rapper was trending and getting respect from people who had nothing for him before. There were two reasons for the response. First, people don't go after Eminem. His unmatched skill and his devastating lyrical assaults scare off most rappers. The fact that MGK was willing to step up and challenge Slim Shady is impressive. The other thing that makes Rap Devil noteworthy is that it's actually pretty good. musically, it's probably the best thing Kelly has produced, and lyrically he comes pretty hard at Em. Honestly, people were kind of surprised that MGK made himself relevant. Of course right after Rap Devil went viral, everyone wa...

The Misunderstood Problem of Social Phobia

William James (1890) made an important distinction between the 'I' (the private inner self) and the 'Me' (the self as an object of self reflexive thought), and argued that the latter had material, spiritual and social aspects. He famously argued that we have as many selves as there are people about whose opinions we care, and so the self changes from one situation to another. This view was to influence the work of Cooley (1909) who spoke of the 'Looking Glass Self' - a reflection of the imagined judgments about ourselves made by other people (cf.ac.uk). For people with social phobia / social anxiety, this reflexive view of the self becomes central and distorted. That is to say that, in social situations the person with social anxiety becomes fixated on, and exaggerates the perceptions others may have. According to William James, to understand the "me," we may begin by dividing the history of it into three parts, relating respectively to-its constitue...

A Short Biography of Joseph Pulitzer

"Joseph  Pulitzer  was born in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847, the son of a wealthy grain merchant of Magyar-Jewish origin and a German mother who was a devout Roman Catholic. He was educated in Budapest. He decided to become a soldier and tried in turn to enlist in the Austrian Army, Napoleon's Foreign Legion for duty in Mexico, and the British Army for service in India. He was rebuffed because of weak eyesight and frail health, which were to plague him for the rest of his life."[1] After two other European armies declined to admit him, Pulitzer joined the American Union army. [2]  This occurred when he met a bounty recruiter in Hamburg,  Germany  and contracted to enlist as a substitute for a draftee, a procedure permitted under the Civil War draft system. "Pulitzer migrated to the United States in 1864 and served in the first New York cavalry during the American Civil War." [3] Pulitzer's claim to fame, however, is not in his military service but rathe...
