Cute -- but so bizarre that this is linked to a blog which got it from a blog which got it from a blog which got it from the original author.

No, I think this is how it should have ended.

What's with the collective thread shitting? Really still hungover from new years? If you don't have something nice to say, make like a tree and GTFO.

no, it should have ended with hordes of flying monkeys coming through dorothy's bedroom window and flinging shit all over the farmhouse, screaming, "it's wasn't a dream, dorothy, it's wasn't a dream!"

I don't understand why 2/3 of posts get made. This one made me laugh a little, and I could really use that laugh today, so I am OK with it. Although why did only the Scarecrow get a mention in the tags? This could be a backhanded slap against lions or the reembodied.

There you go. I'm sure that there's a blog somewhere where never is heard a discouraging word. Good luck with the search.

Let me take this opportunity to say something. I got to thinking, jeez, water melts the witch? Where did Dorothy even get the water? So I watched the scene again.
So the Wicked Witch sets the Scarecrow on fire. And without even thinking, Dorothy grabs a bucket that just happens to be next to her, throws it at the Scarecrow, and hits the witch, who immediately melts.
People were complaining about the ending to Signs, because the aliens are allergic to water but invade a planet that's mostly water? The Wicked Witch is allergic to water, but leaves open buckets of water lying on shelves around her castle, right at arms length, and then decides to just set fires, like people aren't going to throw water on it.
I mean, I'm allergic to wool. Makes me break out in hives, which is nowhere near as bad as melting. I don't leave open buckets of wool lying around. In fact, I don't keep wool in my house. I knew a guy who was allergic to bees. He'd totally panic if a bee was anywhere near him. Buck the Wicked Witch might as well have been setting fire to the Scarecrow in a shower room.
Fucking idiot.

While we're at it, AZ, that clip from Mad TV (via Help, I can't stop talking!) pointed out what a fucked-up, controlling bitch Glenda really was.
Although, having lived in the Midwest, had I been Dorothy, I would have seriously thought about throwing those damn slippers in two widely-separated lakes.

Although I'm not a huge fan, the novel Wicked takes the "Glinda was actually a bitch" angle and turns it into a major part of the story, and it also plays with lots of other lingering questions, such as why there would be a cowardly talking lion.
I'm from Kansas too. I wish The Wizard Of Oz was something for Kansans to be proud of, but it comes across to me as a story about how great it is to get away from Kansas.
