This one is for Angie
And she knows why…
On this date in history in 1939, the wonderfully colorful MGM musical “The Wizard of Oz” premiered at Graumann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. That movie changed my life forever. Even if I can’t stand to hear ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ anymore, I still love that movie. How often do I quote Professor Marvel? A LOT.
One thing that always steamed was that dumbarsed Winkie…remember that? Dorothy asks the Winkie guard if she can take the broom of the now vaporized (and misunderstood) Wicked Witch of the West back to the Wizard and he says the following: “Here. And take it with you!”
Okay, how else was she gonna get it back to the Wizard if she didn’t take it with her?
We know why they were working for the witch, don’t we? Not a very bright bunch of folks, the Winkies. They had some rockin’ uniforms, though.
Ange…this fun fact to know and tell was brought to you by…Benadryl.

I’m currently out of Little Liza’s drug of choice. It’s been an interesting week. I had the movie DVR’d at the old house and now I need to catch it here so I can tape it.
“I need my medicine!”

Maybe you’ll get to enjoy the flick sooner than you think…it should be coming on soon.
Heh…”I need my medicine” indeed…
Whatever happened to Baby Jane was on last night.
I LOVE that movie so much.
Classic.
