The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 02, 2023

Naw. It’s DeSantis.

It’s not on her bucket list.

Oh Mickey what a pity you don’t understand

I simply can’t afford to take my kids to Disneyland

You pay to park the car and you pay to get inside

You pay for all the food and you pay to take a ride

It’s mice like you Mickey

I’m not a fool Mickey, fool Mickey

Won’t pay your prices Mickey

Oh Mickey

Stay away from Splash Mountain!

DisneyLAND might be drier!

Dorothy “stole” her word/line. The witch was supposed to say

“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity, my pretty.”

Right, (broom) stick to Witch Mountain.

It’s not the hatred, it’s the stupidity.

If she drank a glass of ice water, would it melt right through her and make a mess on the floor?

Throwing water on those plans.

Oh, what a world! WHAT A WORLD!!!

Something’s wrong – check out what’s coming out her nose.

Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it, even in Emerald City! Where’s that good for nothing loafer of a wizard?

If I want to spend $Thousands$ I’ll go to a Taylor Swift concert. Wait a minute, NO I WON’T do that either.

I think the rain just might kill her.

My mother would tell us “It’s just rain; you won’t melt” – until she got tired of my chemist dad responding “No – but you might dissolve.”

Melt – reaction to heat. Dissolve – reaction to liquid. Not interchangeable.

When did Dorothy and the Wicked Witch have coffee together???

She meant that literally

Too much of their coffee and you’ll become the Whizzer of Oz.

I was at Universal Studios in Orlando when one of their team members ask us why Florida theme parks are obsessed with getting their guests wet with surprise water sources. The answer was “Because we can’t set them on fire…”

In reality, Florida state law permits theme parks to soak guests without their permission or consent. Since the same authorization is not provided for fire, theme parks can only use water.

Harumph… Lawyers.

She’d be fine in Arizona.

If only I had a dollar for everytime I heard someone say that in the midwest.

I note from the orientation of the bistro’s name on the window that they’re probably sitting at an outdoor table. The humidity is probably better inside if it’s air-conditioned.

Driving with pop, we came upon a dead deer. Loaded it into the trunk, but the butcher said it was green. ‘Learned it’s bad to eat green meat.

I forget, Is the Wicked Witch of the West a friend of Dorothy?

Years and years ago, my family visited Florida. The weather would go from blindinglly-bright-heat-lamp-hot to muggy and cold and back again withing hours.

Humidity, rain and drizzle OH MY!

Bob Iger Be Loco!

Truer words were never spoken. I know this from personal experience in Florida.

Bless your heart, you think there’s no witches in the deep, humid south!
