Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 10, 2013

tread lightly

And used frequently in toys manufactured in China.

You loose one IQ point per year living in California.

Margaret Hamilton nearly died from the coppery glop they covered her skin with to make it green,

Californicators are right at home in the opium poppy field.

To Trapper>>JohnPls. leave comments to people with a little bit of IQ…

get tested for auntie-m bodies immediately

To be fair I once held a bag of beach sand with the same warning from california. That place must be pretty bad for everything to be toxic there.

Two mellow fellows are gonna take the yellow brick road.

what doesnt?

Wasn’t Gov. Arnold the one that issued the Toto Recall?

1) The carcinogenicity of cadmium has not been established, and 2) California has the best record on environmental issues of any state in the Union. The tough environmental laws here make it one of the healthiest places to live in the USA. Oh, and it was Buddy Ebsen (early pick for the Tin Man) who had a problem with the makeup. He had a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum dust in the makeup they used, from breathing it in when it was being applied, and was hospitalized. He was replaced by Jack Haley. On the other hand, both Margaret Hamilton and one of her stand-ins were burned by the pyrotechnics used in some of the Wicked Witch’s scenes.

Doesn’t everything in California cause cancer in one way or another?

I appreciate California and New York.Without them, some nutty people would be looking for some other place to stay and Florida already has our share.

But why is it toxic only in the state of California?

California is made up of many disparate areas and climates. The political climates are made up of the large, urban highly “progressive” liberal areas and the small urban and rural areas are made up of the conservatives. Free thinkers and other classical liberals (think libertarian) are dusted all over everywhere.

Living in Caleephornia is like living in a bowl of Granola. What aren’t Fruits or Nuts are Flakes

Funny ‘cause California didn’t exist in thecWiz’s time.

I just want to “explain” the joke to you guys.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_%281986%29see, in 1986, California passed this inane and poorly thought out initiative.not to get into all the nitty gritty details (read the link), the end result is that a sign like this warning of “hazardous” chemicals “known to the State of California” is plastered on literally everything.sometimes, you have to wonder if those “hazardous” chemicals are things like “dihydrogen oxide” (look it up, or see here: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/ban-dihydrogen-oxide.html)essentially, it takes the “boy cries wolf” to new extremes. I wonder if you could actually get away with selling people rat poisoned Twinkies, so long as you plastered all the packaging with Prop 65 warnings.

Yes, but just think, if you’d moved to Florida 20 years ago, it might still be 200!

Wow! You must have been over 200 at one time! Lighten up! I guess your disproportionate intelligence must have displaced your sense of humor and ability to laugh at yourself. How sad!!!

One of California’s MANY problems is that we are under capitalized and over socialized.

please is not wanted needed or necessary the word is annoying

I got cousins who live there in Oakland they real nice people not flakes or nut jobs you terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow, Follow, Follow the Yellow Brick road…. .The Wizard will give you whatever you ask, in return just let him gallop out of Seattle on a horse of a different colour.

Blame it on the Wicked Witch.

The funny thing about those warnings is that, apparently, the substance will only harm you in California – the harmfulness isn’t ‘known to’ anyone else?
