Not In Kansas Anymore

And Your Little Dog Too
Dorothy Gale, much like Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead Series, survived a nasty bump on the head. Both Rick and Dorothy woke up from bed and found themselves transported to an outlandish world.

Happy Halloween

Tin Man Gets A Beating Heart

Anita Heart
Sadly, the Tin Man couldn't take the chance that the Wizard Of Oz wouldn't grant his wish and bestow upon him a beating heart. Instead, Tinny took matters into his own hands and hacked out the heart of his fiance, Anita Heart.

When a man's an empty kettle,
He should be on his mettle,
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kind-a-human,
If I only had a heart.


Happy Halloween

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon - 1973


Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Record Album
Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Record Album
There really is no dark side of the moon

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path.


Those are the beginning lyrics to the ever popular song title "Brain Damage" which happened to be the Grassy Knoll Institutes high school class song. Pretty appropriate song for the 1970's.

The album cover was unique in that there was no title on the front or the back. Just the triangle in the center with the light refracting spectrum against a dull black background. Remember folks, this was 1973, a time way before MTV and music video's. An album title was critical in the sale of records, no, not CD's, records. The title and artwork played a big part in sales.

Pink Floyd abandoned the norm and went for the stand out unique concept. And if you look at sales, it is one of the best selling albums of all time.

The inside jacket continued with the light prism with a heart beat rhythm resonating through.

The inside jacket also had the song lyrics and the only mention of Pink Floyd is the top left of the inside right jacket where it says the album was produced by Pink Floyd. The album was also produced at Abbey Road studio, owned by the Beatles in London, England.

The back cover is simply an upside down triangle with the light prism passing through forming a single white light.


The Grassy Knoll Institute recommends you to break out the old vinyl and take a listen to the Dark Side Of The Moon. Especially if you intend to watch the Wizard Of Oz anytime soon. A hint: At the second roar of the lion roars at the beginning of the movie, start the album. Hard to explain, but very interesting.

Hillary Clinton Sans Make Up


With the presidential election race heating up with many candidates jockeying for position and air time, it was just about time for things to get nasty and ugly. A very unflattering photo of Hillary Clinton sans make-up is circulating the Internet like flying monkeys. Ms. Clinton refused to comment other than to say, "We're not in Arkansas anymore!" Former president and husband Bill Clinton was over heard saying in a low tone to his advisor, "I thought dropping a house on her sister would have slowed downed her political aspirations."
