I'm a big sports fan, especially hockey, and I've been a fan of villainesses since I was eight! My favorite shows are The Simpsons and Family Guy, etc.

The Spectacular History of "Treehouse of Horror"
One of the things I love the most about Halloween is, of course, "Treehouse of Horror," the annual Halloween-themed episode of The Simpsons. Seriously, how can you not love "Treehouse of Horror"? It's the one episode out of the season that breaks away from the norm (or close to it) of a typical Simpsons episode. The episode always consisted of three segments with different storylines, often using a horror or sci-fi theme, though recent years have borrowed from popular movies, regardless of genre.

World Series Game One: Even the Home Runs are Bigger in Texas
When this year's World Series matchup became official, I wanted two things out of this year's edition. One, I wanted extra inning games. And two, I wanted a seven-game Series. With a matchup as unorthodox as the Texas Rangers facing the Arizona Diamondbacks, I wanted all of the insanity and chaos that could come from this. I would get my first request; time would tell if the other comes true.

2023 World Series Preview
I always enjoy the World Series, and there are so many reasons. For one, it's absolutely prestigious; there is a lot of history involved, as the Fall Classic's been around since 1903. Another reason is that the World Series marks the end of a very long season with so many games and few days off, but there's also another factor involved: it's the last championship of the sports calendar year. The Super Bowl's in February, the Stanley Cup and NBA Championship are awarded in June, and the World Series occurs in late October/early November.

Avalanche Game 7 Recap: Roadblock
For the third time in franchise history, and the second time since the move, the Colorado Avalanche are 6-0-0, a perfect point percentage. The winning streak continued with their win over the New York Islanders, and their next destination was Pittsburgh to face the Penguins. The Avalanche looked to match their best start in their overall franchise history, as the 1985-86 Quebec Nordiques started the season 7-0-0.

Chucky Review: "Dressed to Kill"
Well, it's here! The midseason finale came and went this week, and it was your typical explosive midpoint stopper. You know how in football, a team manages to get that last big touchdown before halftime? Or in hockey, a team scores a clutch goal before intermission? Multiply that by about 100, and you get this episode.

History of the NFL Playoffs (Part III: The Merger - 1970-1977)
In 1960, a new league debuted to rival the National Football League, as Lamar Hunt's American Football League served as a formidable foe to the longer standing NFL. Throughout the entire decade, each league had their set of teams and crowned their champions, but the 1966 saw the leagues decide to have their champions play against each other to crown an overall World Champion in pro football. The first-ever AFL-NFL World Championship Game was played on January 15, 1967 and was won by the NFL's Green Bay Packers over the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs. The Packers won the first two games, while the AFL's New York Jets and the aforementioned Chiefs won the next two.

Avalanche Game 6 Recap: Red Hot
The Colorado Avalanche's weird schedule continued with the beginning of a three-game East Coast swing that will end the month of October. First stop: Long Island. The Avs faced off against the New York Islanders, the very team that Devon Toews used to play for before the Avs acquired him following the unorthodox end of the 2019-2020 season. The Avs were coming off a big win against the Carolina Hurricanes, a game that saw a lot of goals. The Islanders haven't been known for offense, so it seemed like it would be a quiet-paced game.

A One, a Comma, and Three Zeroes. Top Story - October 2023.
I'm always surprised by my story total on Vocal. I've been doing this Vocal thing for two and a half years, and I thought that by now, I'd have written about 500 stories, maybe 600 at the most. I never thought I'd have this many by now. How many, you ask? As the title and the pic clearly shows, this is #1000.

Discipulcide
"Excellent work! Just spectacular!" Kristen Boyle's exclamation was in regards to her pupil, Tracey Goodman, who had been under Kristen's tutelage for over a week. Tracey had dreams of becoming an author; she had her first book halfway done, but that was the point where writer's block set in. She learned about Kristen via an online ad, which Tracey answered immediately, as she couldn't pass up the chance of being taught by a famous author.

What Went Wrong: A Taste of Their Own Medicine
I just want to say that I haven't seen a League Championship Series this captivating since 2003. That year also was both LCSes go the maximum seven games. In the National League, it was the Florida Marlins and the Chicago Cubs; the Cubs were up 3-2 entering Game Six, where they had a 3-0 lead, and then...Steve Bartman happened. Marlins came back and won Game Six, and took Game Seven to win the pennant. In the American League, it was the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox; another chapter in that bitter rivalry. We all know how Game Seven went. Boston up 4-0, and then 5-2, they were close to the curse being broken, then Pedro Martinez was left in to give up three clutch Yankee runs. Mariano Rivera pitches a shutout 9th, 10th, and 11th, and in the bottom of the 11th, Aaron Boone (the future Yankees manager) hits a walk-off shot off the legendary knuckleballer, Tim Wakefield.

NFL Week 7 Recap: Just One of Those Days
Last week, the Buffalo Bills were coming off quite a shaky performance. The offense was totally off for the most part, Josh Allen wasn't his usual self, and Tyler Bass missed a pair of field goals. Despite this, they got right back on track in the fourth quarter and won. This has been a regular occurrence for the Bills in recent years. They tend to have what I call, "just one of those days," where very little goes right, and Allen is less than the high level QB we know he is. The Bills either get away with it, or they don't. In the case of last week, they got away with it.
