  • The Fifth Simpsons Packet.Pdf
    Ground Zero; About Me; Model U.N.; International Relations; Web Pages; Internet Links The following packet was written by Hayden Hurst. Please direct any comments to [email protected]. The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

CA2/7 NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION SEVEN FRANK SIVERO, B266469 Plaintiff and Appellant, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BC561200) v. TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION, Defendant and Respondent. APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Rita Miller, Judge. Affirmed. Hess, Hess & Herrera and Alejandro H. Herrera for Plaintiff and Appellant. Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, Robert H. Rotstein, Aaron M. Wais and Daniel A. Kohler for Defendant and Respondent. ___________________ Frank Sivero, a film actor, sued Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (Fox) for the misappropriation of his name and likeness in the promotion of the hit television show The Simpsons. Fox filed a special motion to strike under Code of Civil Procedure1 section 425.16 contending Sivero’s claims arose from protected activity and Sivero could not demonstrate a probability of prevailing. The trial court agreed and granted the motion to strike. On appeal, Sivero argues the trial court erred (1) when it found his causes of action arose from protected activity, and (2) when it stuck his first two causes of action based upon the application of the First Amendment’s transformative use doctrine.
