Today, in honor of the coming Christmas Season, Yodar Hoopelhoffer, the Mount Perry town idiot, has released a snapshot of his upcoming movie epic, “The Lizard Of Oz” In this dramatic rendering of the original story, Yodar has revitalized the characters of the original plot to reflect more modern and contemporary ideals. Mind you, this is only a preview.
In This drama the Lizard of Oz is the story of the tyrannical, Tyrannosaurs Rex, ruler of the kingdom of Oz. He rules his kingdom through brutal fear and extreme violence, while protecting it from the ravages of an army of Carnivorous White Rabbits.
These rabbits periodically invade the kingdom of Oz, by moving their forces down the brick road through the swamps. They seek to depose the tyrannical ruler and subjugate the people to the rule of the Witch of the North.
In order to protect his kingdom, Tyrannosaurs Rex has enlisted the aid of the evil Dorothy Green Shoes. Dorothy arrived in the kingdom of Oz during a terrible tornado with her dog, Killer. Since her arrival she has made friends with a man eating lion. She is feared for her ability to stand in the grass along side the brick road. From her position of concealment, she would snatch unwary travelers from the road and feed them to her man eating lion and her dog.
No one has ever seen Dorothy when she wears her green shoes and stands quietly in the grass, so the camouflage technique must work quite well. Both her dog and her lion seems very well fed.
Knowing she could not defend the kingdom all alone with just one man eating lion and her dog, Killer, Dorothy has enlisted the aid of a deranged robot, stolen from a nearby robotics laboratory and a genetically altered scare crow found wandering aimlessly about in a corn field.
The scarecrow being stuffed with straw, will be used to lure the rabbits off the brick road and out into the quicksand bogs. The scare crow, being lighter than a man will glide effortlessly over the quicksand, while the rabbits will, — well — use your imagination.
The deranged robot will be unchained in the path of the invasion force and instructed to commit mayhem with anyone it found on the road. If and when the invading army is forced to flee in the face of this threat, the robot can simply be deactivated by a huge magnet suspended over the brick road.
The army of rabbits, lead by the Witch of the North, is in revolt against the evil Tyrannosaurs Rex. She opposed his tyrannical oppression and taxation of the people he rules. Once inside the city walls, she feels the people will rise up against the evil Tyrannosaurs Rex and depose him, forcing him to flee the city into the surrounding swamps.
There he can be dealt with by the Carnivorous Insects, Hungry Alligators and Poisonous Snakes living in the swamp. If not, the Quick Sand is sure to get him before he gets too far. At this point the Witch of the North will impose her own taxes and begin to systematically eliminate any opposition to her rule. Those opposed to the new rule will be forced to follow their previous ruler out into the swamps.
Dorothy Green Shoes has been hired to form an army to defend Oz against this invading army and save the benevolent dynasty of Tyrannosaurs Rex. Both sides having agreed to the Oz rules of civilized warfare, Dorothy was limited in her choice of weapons to use against the invading hoards. At least until she was contacted by the Witch of the South, who was an illegal arms dealer who dealt in stolen surplus military hardware on the side.
Dorothy was able to get Tyrannosaurs Rex to finance her purchase of enough nerve gas, land mines, and napalm to cover the invasion route. There were also pitfalls and sharpened bamboo traps. Fortunately for Dorothy, no illegal weapons were found to be deployed or Dorothy could be in big trouble. This does not mean they aren’t there. Just, they weren’t found.
Thus, the stage is set for this epic battle between the forces of evil and ---- well, — more evil. This new movie should be released some time next month. Mind you, this is only a rough outline, the movie will have a great deal more detail to it and the audience will be limited to people over 18 years of age and only with their parents consent.
