When the going gets weird....

Have you ever been to Kansas? The Gomez family hadn't either, but having seen The Wizard of Oz they knew the Wizard of Oz was there and would grant their wish. They sincerely wished the Wiz to cast out the demons which possessed their 2 youngest children.

That's why the family (mom, dad and 5 kids) left their Northlake, Illinois home, drove 550 miles to Lawrence Kansas, tied up the 5 and 7 year old children, duct taped their eyes shut and left them at a Lawrence Walmart. A nearly perfect plan foiled by being caught in the act. Now there's police and lawyers and judges and exorcists...

Their horrific story may be found here.

1939 was a great year for movies.

Released on this date 70 years ago, was the first color movie, The Wizard of OZ.

The flying monkeys still scare the begeebers out of me.

Sadly, local lad and munchkin, Mickey Carroll died recently. I would see him occasionally at Uncle Harrys. He never seemed to mind if you asked him a question or two about the old days, so long as you didn't interfere with his gaming.
