I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

This is a PIE
So turns out I vastly overestimated how long it will take me to make a apple pie and it’s done at 2am… on the upside in the process of letting the pastry rest I did woodwork and cleaning all in to the wee hours so that’s something productive I guess.

2/2 There is a shot of a gigantic nest and baby Munchkins hatching from eggs during the Ding Dong number. Google says this scene was cut from the movie, which is outright gaslighting. The question remains. Are all Munchkins hatched from eggs?

I know this is very left field given the general state of things but I am frustrated by the lack of answers regarding the question of whether or not Munchkins are hatched from eggs in the 1939 WoO. 1/2

I love putting on warm underwear fresh out of the dryer.
Plus it's fun to look around the laundromat and guess who they belong to.
