If you're the type of guy who just needs that Raggedy Andy costume to make your girl happy for that couples costume she's been dying to wear with you, we can do you a solid.

Rule 2 does apply throughout the rest of this thread. That's right, Halloween might be the best thing that's ever happened to men across the world, so you'd better make the best of it in one of our men's costumes.Īnd these aren't your dad's costumes. Rule 2 does not apply when replying to this stickied comment. Is there another holiday where you can dress up like Bender and talk about your shiny metal posterior? And what other night can you dress up like a pirate captain and swing a sword around? What other night can you wear a cape, a Batman costume, all while pretending to fight crime, without the police getting involved. That's why Halloween is the perfect night for men. What happened to Miss Gulch? Dorothy wakes up in Kansas, exclaiming that there's "no place like home!" But what happened to Miss Gulch - the mean neighbor lady who tried to snatch Dorothy's dog? Won't she be back for him? A weird loose end.If you're a guy, you probably spend most nights quoting your favorite movies, telling the latest jokes or mimicking superheroes, whether or not your properly dressed for the occasion. Why the strange partiality? Because, in an earlier draft of the script, Dorothy and the Kansas counterpart of the Scarecrow are sweet on each other.ġ0. "I think I'll miss you most of all." Thus Dorothy says goodbye to the Scarecrow. "I your wizard, per adua ad alta…" The actual Latin phrase is "Per ardua ad astra" ("through difficulties to the stars"), the motto of Royal Air Force. Well, the Wizard didn't say they were good brains.Ĩ. The actual theorem holds that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. ![]() "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." Thus the Scarecrow, after receiving his brains, triumphantly recites the Pythagorean theorem - wrongly. Unless, that is, you know that it referred to the Jitterbug, the stinging insect that sends Dorothy and her friends jiving and trucking in what was supposed to be the film's big "jazz" number, "The Jitterbug." It was cut after previews.ħ. "I've sent a little insect on ahead, to help take the fight out of them." That line, from the Wicked Witch of the West, makes absolutely no sense. Only readers of the book will recognize the magic golden cap with which the Witch summons her flying monkeys.Ħ. When her dastardly poppy scheme fails, the Wicked Witch can be seen throwing a gold-colored something-or-other across the room. So why do the characters in "The Wizard of Oz" refer repeatedly - in dialogue and song - to "The Wizzid"? Could it be because Ray Bolger, who plays the Scarecrow, and Jack Haley, who plays the Tin Man, were both from the Boston area? Perhaps the Wizzid doesn't live fah from Hahvad Yahd.ĥ. Most of us pronounce the word "wizard" as if it had an "a" and an "r" in it - because it does. It's a mashup word, a combination of "slut" and … never mind.Ĥ, Off to see the Wizzid. The closest we got is the obscure "slicht," a Scottish regionalism for "slight." However, since "The Wizard of Oz" was made, the word "slitch" has come into use in the hip-hop community. "The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch," chirrup the Munchkins, as they celebrate Dorothy's lethal, witch-crushing arrival in the land of Oz. Only what is a "slitch"? We looked it up online, we rifled through the dictionary. The word appears not to exist. More: 'Wicked Witch' intrigues Vernon social studies classesģ.

Cut from the film is a scene where Hickory is shown working on a "wind machine" to prevent cyclones (spoiler alert: it doesn't work). It's here that his line occurred: "Now this is a machine with real heart." ![]() "I saw you tinkering with that contraption," Aunt Em scolds Hickory. Obviously he should have had a " heart" line. And the Kansas counterpart of the Tin Man says … bupkis. ![]() "Have a little courage," says the Kansas counterpart of the Lion. The missing line.
