• Stack Attack
• Toroid Terror
• Hexagon Havoc

Remember that spotlight about one-one-one-one-one-one? Maybe that's what we'll have? 6 teams on a hexagonal feild! w00t!

Let me focus on season 8 shall we were it is strongly argued that Monty Burns is at his strongest strength compared to other seasons
During an opening couch scene of one such episode it is a direct parody of the previoulsy mentioned album cover, being very closly similar to the animation of it as scene in "The Making of Sgt. Pepper"
It is during this season too that Homer takes his trip after eatting Wax (need I say that several characters in the album cover are wax figures) On this trip lyrics from the Beatles son "I am a Walrus" are quoted
Also some believe that Barney's belch during the "trip" is a reference to the final chord in "A Day in the Life"

However my main point of season 8 is that the PYRAMID Homer climbs to see the coyote looks exactly like the one in "Yellow Submarine" now, maybe we to might need to climb the pyramid (previously stated by many as a field piece)

edit: Also I just had pointed out to me (thank you Justin) that in Season 12 (FIRST began in 1992 and this clue came out 12 years later) the Beatles make a cameo dressed in their Sgt. Peppers garb to recruit teens to join the army a.k.a. ALLIANCE!

For this modulation, we used a random turbulence function, and added dark splotches (yes, that's the technical term) by increasing opacity along random walks through the 3-d texture.

1.-(The title)
2.-With a Little Help From my Friends
3.-Lucy in the sky of Diamonds
4.-Getting Better
5.-Fixing a Hole
6.-She's Leaving Home
7.-Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
8.-Within You Without You
9.-When I'm Sixty-Four (64)
10.-Lovely Rita
11.-Good Morning Good Morning
12.(Title) Reprise
13. A Day in the Life

It looks like a lot of this album from the cover to the title of the songs could in fact be FIRST related. Good Lead Phrontist!

Now for sure, we're definitely having a Hexagonal field. FIRST has done it before, and they sure will do it again. Probably this time around.

(Sorry if this repeated anything)

PLACEBO!

Oh yes, and that would mesh nicely with my last post! (The one about borrowing from previous years)
