Naughty Bits

What up, bitches? Over the week, I come across some snippets of inappropriate Oz humor (some of the best, in my humble opinion), so here is what I have decided to call "Naughty Bits" that I've stumbled upon in the past few weeks.

This bit is a from the show "Teachers" on TV Land. This character has been thrown Oz-themed taunts in the past but here she offers a new pick-up line for the horny Oz fan.

Some of you may have already seen this on my Facebook page but I had to share it again. I was searching for...specific things on Etsy and this sprung up (pun somewhat intended). It's a handmade charm for jewelry and if the charm itself wasn't funny enough, the price of it is $69. However, given that I bought my actual vibrator for less than that, I didn't buy it. Besides, mine actually vibrates (and if you're wondering, I did name it and I call him Little Nick 😉).

Finally, I'll finish you off with some memes! Because while there are more than plenty of memes on the Internet, there is a dire deficit of Oz ones!

It's the rift that tears our fandom apart (that and the purists vs. everyone else).

It's an old joke at this point, but we all know it's true.

Don't pretend you don't know.😉

Review: NE By NW OZ, a Storytelling Game by Ron Baxley Jr.

Ron Baxley Jr., accomplished author and proud Corgi Papa, has added game writer to his creative repertoire with the addition of his storytelling game, NE by NW OZ. The author of OZ Diggs Himself Out (YBR Publishing) and other books is offering the chance to readers and game-lovers the choice to become a good witch or a bad witch (or good wizard or bad wizard) in the most unexpected way possible.

In this game, the reader/player begins as a resident in the Quadling Country. There is word that the Winkie and Munchkin Countries have open vacancies for new witches, specifically, Witches of the Northwest and the Northeast (and maybe even wizards in a different twist). The player’s aim is to make choices that will steer them in one compass direction or the other and then decide whether to become good or wicked (or some percentage of the two).

Not only does this story stand out because of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” style of telling, but Baxley adds a unique spin to the land of Oz by transforming Wizard of Oz into a crossover with Alfred Hitchcock’s films. As the reader/player progresses, they come across familiar Oz characters and references to Hitchcock films. The name of the game itself is a reference to the classic film, "North by Northwest"; and as you play, you may encounter references to "The Birds", "Psycho", and "Vertigo" to name a few. I had the pleasure of playing the game myself, and in the progress of becoming the new Good Witch of the Northwest, I met the Tin Woodman, stumbled upon a Bates-esque Motel, and conquered a very “psycho” villain. But before you scream out “SPOILER ALERT!”, fear not because the path you choose may be entirely different depending on your choices. Baxley has written enough choices for you to select that you can play over and over again and not play the same game twice.

NE By NW OZ is an engaging game with a great story that doesn’t always tell the same way twice in a row. How many books can say that? It is available as an app on Google Play and on the Hosted Games section of the Choice of Games web-site.
