Nobody will ever understand what I actually meant. That's OK, I'm not sure I know what I actually meant anyway...... Part of it is, it all seems like a computer program somedays, a game on other days, a test on other days, and a strange "friendly" battle of wits from time to time. We can't really see the man (or men) behind the curtain, h*ll, we're all behind "the curtain, too!" We can only see how the board morphs and behaves. Just a whimsical, off-handed observation from a whimsical, off-handed poster. Tha's-allz I'm sayin'.

It not true in an absolute sense that no one will understand, perhaps we try, and we're looking for someone to help make the connection. The man behind the curtain was supposed to be the one to solve all the problems of the seekers of his help no? And yet the message turned out to be that the seekers already had the means to solve their own problems. (except for dorothy..) Well she had those magic shoes, what a cop out, haha!

Granted. Of course, if Dorothy hadn't been hallucinating so hard, we'd never know anything of the whole affair.
Such great things from a bump on the head.
Question is, which bump? Did the whole experience (of Dorothy's) begin when she fell off the fence into the pig yard, and the immediate next scene is in her unconcious mind; or did she really hit her head during the subsequent "tornado"? Sorry, er, the "twister?"
Maybe there never was a twister. Maybe she imagined even meeting the travelling fortune teller in the caravan coach. But, he WAS there at the end when she came to.......so, I guess the tornado really happened.
The really "twister" to the story is, for those who are inclined, read the book called "Wicked." It turns the whole truth about the story around, and shows us that it was all part of a conspiracy against the Witch of the West, who (in this version) was really a very good person after all................
In the meantime, Toto! Fetch my ruby slippahzzz!!!
