I got so inspired yesterday writing to you about Kansas that it got me to thinking about The Wizard of Oz, and in the spirit of always trying to bring something fresh to my readers here at jonathots, I was able to dredge up, through much painstaking investigation, ten originally proposed titles for the story, which, for some reason or another, were summarily rejected by those in power (I would assume to keep the “little man” down…) Knowing that you are always trying to expand your brains and have little pieces of useless information to pull out in party situations so as to make you even more obtuse, I have decided to compile these into a list for you today, which we shall dub The Top Ten Rejected Titles for The Wizard of Oz:
10. When Monkeys Fly
9. Dorothy‘s Purple Acid

8. Which witch is which and why?
7. The Lizard of Ooze (don’t ask)
6. Three Babies and a Lady
5. There’s No Home Like Place(mats)–by Martha Stewart
4. Goldbrickers and the Kansas Brat (an independent film)
3. Dropping Housing Prices
2. Toto‘s Tail (a K through 9 view)
And finally, the Number One rejected title, which, in my opinion, was a mistake:
1. TORNADOES SUCK

I did get your blog, it was in my spam box. Funny and informative.

If they were not all rejects I would say they were all winners! Too many favorites to mention.
