We're Off to See the Wizard

[Lightning Rod]

If you were cast as one of the characters in The Wizard of Oz, which one would it be?

Dorothy?
Toto?
Tin Man?
Scarecrow?
Cowardly Lion?
Wicked Witch?
Glenda?
A midget? (oops, I meant munchkin)
The Wiz?

[bennie2]

who the fuck is glenda? did you just throw that in there?

I'd be the wee dog. Toto.

[stilltrucking]

Try Glinda

[Lightning Rod]

I don't know how she spells her name
she's the good witch of the North
s'matta? you guys never been to Oz?

[bennie2]

she had a name? I thought it was just good witch bad witch.

oh... I'm not the good witch.

speaking of bad witches... you ever heard of a comic called doug stanhope? I think you may like his "lets push this button and see what kind of reaction we can get" approach to comedy.

[judih]

as role play, i'd like to live in munchkin land with all those other way high heads. totally incredulous to everything that happens, but ready to help the protagonists.

are we putting on a show?

[stilltrucking]

Probably the cowardly lion.
But I wish I had a heart and a brain too.

[stilltrucking]

I loved that movie
first saw it when I was about six years old
about 1946 or 47.
sitting in that dark theatre when Edith Hamilton flew in, I tried to run to the boys room to hide but my brothers held me down and made me watch... I closed my eyes and put my hands over my ears.

Oh yes
"Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my."

"what puts the ape in apricot"

[Artguy]

I wanna be in the lollipop gang....

[Doreen Peri]

The horse of many colors.

[Arcadia]

I'm having culture shock here, Arcadia

I can't imagine that there is anyone in Christendom that hasn't seen that movie. Do get it. It will be a more satisfying view than Batman.

[Les S. Amore]

I wanted to be a flyin' monkey, man
they are so hip

but that wasn't on the list
so I'll have to pick the Wiz

I'm such a phony
perfect for the part

don't pull dem curtains apart
they shoulda written a part for Mack the Knife

[panta rhei]

there's more culture shock for you, clay - i haven't seen the movie, either!

have read the book, though, i think, but that was a long time ago. can't remember much of the characters....

but that yellow brick road sounded friendly in its warm colour, this i remember.

[Doreen Peri]

arcadia and panta...
