I’m going to take a break off speculating for a bit. You know, skulking here and thinking about all the goodness that could come out of the Open Beta of HKO can put a epicly huge strain on my wee, little brain that could leave the uninitiated ALL.BURNED.OUT.

Aaaanywho, there ar two things in this oh so adorable planet that makes my boat float:

1. Magic: The Gathering

2. The Simpsons (although, I’m not a fan of the latest Simpsons episodes because theyre devastatingly DROLL)

So yeah, I was idling inside the forums of mtgsalvation (inside the rumor mill, of course) and found this yummy little picture:

That, my friends is the Belligerent Hatchling. Sure, great art and all but it’s not exactly “blowing my skirt”.

“But, but Mr. Neverender, whatever do you mean!? How is this related to the Simpsons?”

If you look closely at the picture, you will notice a swarm of bees coming out of the weird, six-legged octopus-dog thingie that reminded me of a delightful little scene in the Simpsons where Bart was adopted by Mr. Burns to be his heir. Homer, determined to get his son back, charges Mr. Burns’ home. He gets stopped at the door by Smithers and Burns and the truant boy. Bart shrugs off his father’s pleas and says that he’d rather stay with the withering, old man.

Mr Burns: I suggest you leave immediately.
Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead—do your worst!

Do I sense Simpsons fans amongst the great minds behind Magic: The Gathering? I hope so.
