It's true. The Wizard of Oz munchkin mayor has died. The little guy was only 94.
I actually met him at a trade show a few years ago. Did we talk mayoral politics, tiny curly shoes or infighting amongst members of the Lollipop Guild? No. There was really no time for that. But in our short, historic meeting I can tell you that he was a nice guy.
R.I.P . Munchkin Meinhardt Raabe.
He was 94 in people years, but since he was a munchkin and they are half as tall as other people, he was actually only 57 in munchkin years.
ReplyDeleteChemgeek - haha. Thanks for that valuable information.
ReplyDeleteIMPORTANT MESSAGE: It was actually the Coroner that died NOT the Mayor.
ReplyDeleteSorry if this creates problems with your florist and your sympathy flowers.
And come to think of it, now I'm confused if I met the Coroner or the Mayor. I think it was the mayor because he was wearing a huge hat.
ReplyDeleteawww, he is really most sincerely dead.
ReplyDeleteFitting tribute Kristen.

ReplyDeleteAnd did you read in that article you linked to that he used to tour the country in the oscar mayer Wienermobile? I often feel I was born at least four decades too late.
ReplyDeletewow. I didn't know anybody was still alive from that movie.
ReplyDeleteThe Lollipop Guild is providing wee pall bearers. :D

KendallJaye - I heard that too. They'll carry him in his shoebox coffin to his final resting place.
ReplyDeleteHow cute that he still wore a version of his costume! RIP, little guy!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys were wrecklessly eyeballing the "booth babes" weren't ya? You and the mayor, rating the B(.)(.)Bies, I bet.
ReplyDeleteAnything - Yeah. RIP.
ReplyDeleteScope - How did you know. He was a great wing man. A teensy tiny wing man.
Yeah, and I bet he was hung like a freakin' PONY, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen they said a good wingman is hard to find, I just never thought they'd be talking about in deep pile shag carpeting. (70's porn reference.)
Scope - a pony that changes colors probably.
ReplyDeleteScope you know Dr Zibbsy baby rated my b(.)(.)bs.
ReplyDeleteIt was the red sparkly shoes that did him in.
It was those damn curly shoes that did him in.
ReplyDeletecreepy..even for a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteWhere did he get that outfit? I just need to have a shiny blue and green outfit
ReplyDeleteAlice - that outfit will go to his grave.
