The Wonderful World of Oz

[Crystal]

Just requested a hold for this when it's checked in from the County Library. I am about to embark on a long quest- to read all of the books in the series. Can't wait to get to the twisted book on the Tinman. Has anyone done this? If so, will it ruin my watching the Wizard of Oz forever?

[Mayhem]

The Tin Man was a fag. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood, and he came to the door in a dress

[Screwball]

That don't mean nothing, Toto. A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck. I know I do.

Plate of shrimp.

[Screwball]

An ordinary person spends his life avoiding tense situations. A Tin Man spends his life getting into tense situations.

I don't want any commies on my yellow brick road. No christians, either.

[Chimneyfish]

I never even knew they made a book out of that movie

[Frankennietzsche]

I think that Pink Floyd had something to do with it.

Goddamn Dipshit Lollipop Guild Dilldo Punks!

this thread is confusing.

She' talking about the orginal books (multiple with multiple authors) which have such plot lines as this:

The Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow are regaling each other with tales at the former's palace in the Winkie Country when a Gillikin boy named Woot wanders and is welcomed into their presence. After he is fed and rested (which the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow, not being of blood and flesh, do not need), Woot asks the Woodman how he became made of tin. He relates how the Wicked Witch of the East enchanted his axe and caused him to chop his body parts off limb by limb, because he was in love with her ward, Nimmie Amee. Each chopped limb was replaced by the tinsmith Ku-Klip with a counterpart made of tin. (Since Oz is a fairyland, no one can die, even when the parts of their body are separated from each other.)
However, without a heart, the Tin Woodman felt he could no longer love Nimmie Amee and therefore he left her. He relates how Dorothy and the Scarecrow found him after he had rusted in the forest (an event related in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) and went with him to the Emerald City where the Wizard gave him a heart. Woot poses that the heart may have made him kind, but it did not make him loving—he would have returned to Nimmie Amee if it had. This shames and inspires him to journey to the Munchkin Country and find her.

I haven't read all the books but I do recall reading some of them when I was younger. Also, the musical "Wicked" is absolutely amazing.

You have now motivated me to do the same. I think I'll look for the books at the library. We can have our own little private drunkard book club. I'm going to try and get knocked up again soon too so I'll likely have a lot of undrunk time on my hands sometime next year. :)

There are only two copies locally, and one was lost, and the other copy is checked out until 01/20. I hope they return it early.

Also, anyone notice that the TinMan (made of tin) rusts, but tin doesn't rust?

Then, that B-Five Twos song is wrong?
Another brick in the wall, dang.

Perhaps in the land of Oz tin rusts, which is where the Love Shack is located.
