Synopsis
Ned Flanders quits his regular job and announces at a barbecue that he is opening a mall store catering to lefties. Homer, however, wishes that Flanders would fail. Bart takes karate lessons, but on his first lesson, he finds it boring, so he skips karate class and plays videogames in the arcade at the mall.
