My favorite is "Don't make me get my flying monkeys". Keep up the good work GDG! The Wizard of Oz reference in the falling house bumper sticker seems clear to me.

My favorite is “Don’t make me get my flying monkeys”.

Keep up the good work GDG!

Want slaw with yours? And by the way, a house fell once on my Aunt Edna. She was playing strip poker with the girls at the home when a full house, jacks over fours, robbed her of her dignity and her support hose. The place ain't been the same since.

Even a nun can understand that one. Heck, even Rosie O'Donnell can. By the way, your Wizard of Oz idea might not be so far-fetched. I mean, in what other instance can the idea of a house falling on a woman be found? LOL!!! “However, I can interpret ‘DON’T COME A KNOCKIN’ WHEN THE VAN IS ROCKIN’ ‘ if you need me to.”

After Auntie Em's house landed on TWWW's sister (The Wicked Witch of the East) Dorothy found herself the unwitting object of her wrath. Really, it was those damned slippers that Glenda the Good Witch stole from the corpse of TWWE and forced on Dorothy. All that did was piss off TWWW who made it her mission to make Dorothy's life in Oz a living hell. What a trouble-making heiffer Glenda was. And after all the crap Dorothy goes through (instigated by Glenda, I might add) to try to get back to Kansas, Glenda THEN decides to let her in on a little secret: she's ALWAYS been able to get home - she didn't need to bring back the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West. Well slap me silly Glenda! That's a useful piece of information right there! Who gave Glenda the right to usurp the property of TWWE anyway? You gotta figure those slippers woulda been bequeathed to TWWW fair square and legal. Ultimately, the TWWW's obsession with those slippers leads to her demise. She melted - what a world, what a world! It all stated with her sister's death and those damned slippers. I have no freaking idea what the bumper sticker means. However, I can interpret "DON'T COME A KNOCKIN' WHEN THE VAN IS ROCKIN'" if you need me to. Sounds like a reference to the evil witch in The Wizard of Oz - The Wicked Witch of the West (TWWW).

If I may revisit a prior post from Dan for a moment.... Yesterday I went to Whole Foods to pick up some things and as I was leaving the parking lot I saw a bumper sticker on a Japanese-made car--(can't remember if it was a Mazda, Honda, Toyota, or whatever)---and it read: <i>"I've never been the same since the house fell on my sister."</i> If anyone knows, even <i>vaguely</i>, what this is supposed to mean, kindly speak up. Ha!
