So what's the theif going to do now? Hold them for ransom? It's not like you can use them ar really even sell them. Everyone knows their stolen. What's the point of stealing something you can't sell or even brag about? Maybe I'm just to niave to see the point.

They were insured for a million bucks. I suspect an inside job, given the financial health of the "museum."

MIDI - FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - scroll down to WIZARD OF OZ section

(note: I know that the original song really has nothing to do with the content of this parody, but it is the only song I found where "race-baiting poverty pimp" will fit. :)

Race-baiting poverty pimp…race-baiting poverty pimp
Reverend Jesse Jackson is a race-baiting poverty pimp
Where cameras roll, he's there to be found
His pearly whites seems are always around
It is time we say to him his message is gonna go down

Let's tell him we're rejecting those people dividing by race
Don't be afraid, we're stepping right up and slapping them in the face

His message has always been crystal clear
He's filling his people's heads with fear
He makes us fight among ourselves, it true
Jesse, it's time you are finally through
Jesse, it's time you are finally through

It's time to say to Jesse, that race-baiting poverty pimp
Your fifteen minutes came and went, and now you are looking quite limp

I've got a bumper sticker that's telling him "Run Jesse Run"
It's on the front, I'm warning him now, if I see him he is done
Of course I am kidding, but he is slime
Why would anybody send a dime
He's legendary as the shake down king
Where he appears, trouble he will bring
Where he appears, trouble he will bring

I'd love to see up skyward a wonderful colorful blimp
And read the words "Hey Jesse, you're a race-baiting poverty pimp"

A friend of mine told me that Van Johnson had these shoes and actually wore them on TV. Bu then again, I don't think I've ever seen a Van Johnson movie.

Yeah, but that wouldn't have been nearly as good for showing off that nifty technicolor stuff!

By the way, has any Pink Floyd fans ever tried the "Dark Side of Oz" where you play the Dark Side of the Moon as an essential soundtrack to the movie. Pretty cool. There is debate over whether it was intentional. I think it likely was. Floyd had done some soundtracks to movies before Dark Side.
