This moment from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was immortalized in the movie with the Scarecrow’s beloved song, “If I Only Had A Psychopathic Ability To Kill Forty Crows With My Hands, One By One, By Breaking Their Necks”
An excerpt from “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”: The King Crow flew at the Scarecrow, who caught it by the head and twisted its neck until it died. And then another crow flew at him, and the Scarecrow twisted its neck also. There were forty crows, and forty times the Scarecrow twisted a neck, until at last all were lying dead beside him.”

Altoona desperately trying to be known for something other than its pizza
An image and description from Wikipedia of the culinary abomination known as Altoona-style pizza: "Altoona-style pizza is a distinct type of pizza created in the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania, by the Altoona Hotel. The definitive characteristics of Altoona-style pizza are a Sicilian-style pizza dough, tomato sauce, sliced green bell pepper, salami, topped with American cheese and pizzas cut into squares instead of wedges."

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, but especially to Heather F.’s family, who, if this comment on a cranberry sauce recipe is any indication, will be putting up with all kinds of bullshit today
A comment on a cranberry sauce recipe reading, “I have a far more refined palette than the people I Thanksgiving with, so I’m forced to keep it simple lest it doesn’t get touched. I add some vanilla beans taken from one of my jars of extract and one slice of orange peel. A delicious happy medium, methinks. So simple!”

Front page of LA times this morning is like a too-on-the-nose newspaper a character conspicuously reads in a Mad Max prequel
A pair of front page headlines: "Another day of wildfire risk and eyeball-stinging heat." "Modern knights in shining armor: Buhurt, a medieval sport, is catching on in the U.S. Fighters wield weadpons of yore -- and also don latest safety gear."
