I'm sorry, but do the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz scare the shit out of anyone else?

On that note, we have two stray kittens at the office. Would anyone happen to want them? They don't have fleas.

Did you just watch it?

And the Lollipop Guild. Especially the green one. [...] I'm scaring myself with my bizarre specificity.

[gold_i_locks]

Yes.

I hate the Lollipop Guild, they looked like they were ready to kill her. The Coroner always gets me too.

[off_the_hookah]

Oh Lord! I was just going to mention the Coroner. With his creepy hat. He looked like a pimp.

[rubythrone]

I can't believe you're frightened by the Munchkins. They're harmless.

[off_the_hookah]

Miles. Oh Miles.

Not frightened as much as I'm creeped.

I never told you, but when I was a kid, when the part of the movie where the GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ is shouting at Dorothy and company with his scary bald, green head and jets of FLAME!!!1 (just before the Lion high-tails it out of there and jumps through the window), I'd be so scared I had to leave the room.

[rubythrone]

Really?

[Neil]

I haven't the benefit of any firsthand memories of that particular part of the story, but Regina can tell you - I spent a lot of time frowning at the screen during that portion of the movie.

[off_the_hookah]

Out of my wits.

[Miles]

Why's that? Is it the way Oz deceived Dorothy and company?

Neil

[rubythrone]

Yes. I know it's in the books, but Glinda actually met the Wizard in later books and I remember thinking well of him. It's just an odd juxtaposition.

Re: Miles

[off_the_hookah]

Did you as Glinda know what the Wizard had done?

It sounds a little like how... and I hate to use this example ... but how Dumbledore used Harry in the Harry Potter books. Am I making sense?

Neil

[rubythrone]

Oh, yes. Glinda had a 'Book of Records' that kept track of the goings-on in Oz.

Uh. I haven't actually read any of the Harry Potter books. What did Dumbledore do?

[gold_i_locks]

Augh, and they way that they sing...just makes it worse.

[off_the_hookah]

Like Alvin and the Chipmunks, but much more of them.

[gold_i_locks]

At least the Chipmunks were cute. The Munchkins made me want to permanently blind myself.

[off_the_hookah]

I wonder if the Munchkins and the Oompa-Loompas are somehow related?

[gold_i_locks]

Willy Wonka and the Wizard are working in unison to bring all creepy, short men under one rule. Their uniforms, flashy clothing and skin paint. Their means to keep them in line: Lollipop and Chocolate addictions.

I feel like I just wrote in gibberish.

[off_the_hookah]

It was rather Wonderland! I'm impressed.
