"You have no power here!"

.
"Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you."

For some insane reason these lines were running through my head on repeat when I woke up this morning. Can't you just hear Billie Burke's squeak of a voice delivering them as you read it? I can. We've all been indoctrinated with The Wizard of Oz, haven't we? It's like Fringe, one day they will activate our brainwashing-by-Oz trigger and something terrible will happen. A house will fall on us all! Holy shit! Anyway, my point is, I'm weird.

We're all weird in our own ways. You more than many, though.

(GOD I LOVE BILLIE BURKE.)

Her voice is just amazing/terrifying when she starts to sing: "Come out, come out, wherever you are, and meet the young lady who fell from a star"

One of my fav moments of the film!!

And by a strange coincidence, Mickey Carroll, one of the last living Munchkins, passed away today at the age of 89 at his home here in St. Louis.
