edna krabapple, we will miss u

  Her name was Marcia Wallace. She just passed away recently from breast cancer. She was known for many TV rolls in her life. Being a contestant on match game, she was in the Bob Newhart show, but I think I've known her best as voicing a certain fourth grade teacher named Edna Krabapple.

  Marcia started voicing Mrs. Krabapple around the first season and eventually became a popular teacher Bart use to torture. He would make every day of Mrs. Krabapple's teaching hard, but eventually learns that she is a real human being.

 Mrs. Krabapple also was considered a lover. Being divorced she would go for any guy that was available. Principal Skinner was definitely in love with her. He even proposed to her. It didn't work out. Bart even dated her once after hurting her feeling, he felt that she seemed like a nice person. Soon she ended up marrying Ned Flanders.

Now, I guess Mrs. Krabapple will be gone, and there will be a new teacher for Bart to torture and Flanders will have to remarry again. But that "ha!" Laugh  she use to do that was sensational and very memorable will be silent as Marcia is now laughing up In heaven as now heaven has gained more laughter since she left. RIP Marcia u and Edna will b missed.

Peanuts special: The great pumpkin

     One of my favorite Peanuts specials of all time. Loved it since I was little, and still love it today.  Linus believes in a character called "The great Pumpkin" nobody believes in him, Sally wants to though since she's in love with him, but this would be her first time to go trick or treating with her friends.

  Most of the time is focused on Linus and his belief in "The Great Pumpkin"  such as children believe in Santa, Linus believes in The Great Pumpkin. Charlie's costume is messed up, almost all of them are ghosts (Except Lucy is a witch)  But Snoppy' s character is a WWI flying ace and there is a scene with him flying his doghouse, imagining it is a WWI plane that get' s shot down.

  While trick-r-treating  all the kids get candy. All except Charlie Brown of course who always says, "I got a rock", meanwhile Sally waits with Linus for the Great Pumpkin that never shows and she gets angry at him. Eventually Linus stays all night at the pumpkin patch waiting for "The Great Pumpkin." While the others go to a party and have fun, asking Charlie Brown to model for a pumpkin. 

   At the end of the movie The Great Pumpkin never shows, it's the first day of November but Linus Hans't given up saying that he knows he'll be there next year.



   Love this special, not as much as the Christmas one but I've noticed something. There have been a lot of spoofs to this version. They've made fun of it on MAD TV, Family guy, Simpson's did a Tree house of horror special on it making Milhouse be Linus. So many spoofs of it, some good, some bad, but the original is always the best. Enjoy seeing it when u can. It's worth a watch. Till then, Ciao Bloggers

candy bars, the changes for better and worse it

     Halloween means parties, costumes and of course CANDY!!!! Sweet glorious candy. With gooey centers in the middle, to just a plain old chocolate bar. But these days, I've seen changes in many candy bars. They want to blend in the seasons such as having a candy corn flavored m&m or a holiday red and green wrapper on a hershey kiss.

 Candy bars have been become health continuous too. People love candy, but can't have the guilt of having one sweet taste. Seen some candy companies use more dark chocolate in their candy bars saying it Is better for the heart. 3 Musketeers bar has found a lighter way for their candy bar and turning it into a crisp. So many candy companies (that are not related to the Mars or hershey's) have their own take on a chocolate bar. Some are even selling gluton free bars.

   Does it always mean better for us though? I mean candy isn't always the healthiest for us but it being Halloween, we are looking forward to a hershey bar, any flavor from original to the cookies and cream flavor, but their kisses have a wide variety of flavors. Coconut, caramel filled even seasonal with a candy corn flavor as well. But having more variety in a bar, or a kiss, does it make the product better or worse? For me, I'll stick to the original flavors. Not go for all the crazy stuff.
    
  For me less is more and better than all the crazy stuff that goes into a candy bar. Knowing that many different companies have different approaches to having a perfect candy bar. But for now, enjoy the candies, because they will change once again. Ciao bloggers!
