Win tickets to The Wizard of Oz
It’s contest time again here at the Flyer and this time you’ve got the opportunity to walk away with a pair of tickets to the opening night performance of The Wizard of Oz at the Walton Arts Center on Tuesday January 6th at 7pm. Oh yeah, and a $10 gift certificate to Jose’s will be thrown in as well. Not bad!
To enter, just leave a comment below and tell us which Wizard of Oz character you identify with the most and why. In other words, if you’re scared to death of mice and you scream at the top of your lungs while standing on the toilet while your husband comes to take care of the little critter that recently decided to make the cabinet in your bathroom its new home, you might answer “The Cowardly Lion”. Too bad my wife can’t enter this one…
As always, we’ll randomly select a winner and let you know if you’ve won. Both the tickets and gift certificate will be available for pickup 24 hours after the contest ends.
Good luck!
A few rules (read ‘em carefully):
- You may only enter this specific contest once. If you enter this contest more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified.
- This contest is open to anyone anywhere except Fayetteville Flyer writers and their immediate family.
- Contest is open until 11:59pm CST on Friday, January 2, 2008.
- Make sure you leave a valid e-mail address when filling out the comment form since that’s how we’ll contact you if you’ve won.
- You’ll have to provide us with your first and last name if you win and then be prepared to show a valid photo ID when picking up your tickets.
Thanks to the Walton Arts Center for sponsoring this contest and also thanks to Jose’s. For more information about this performance and to purchase tickets, visit waltonartscenter.org or call 479-443-5600.

I’m the Great Wizard of Oz. Pulling strings behind a curtain, making others believe something far greater is happening than really is. Thus is the life of an IT person.

Not the one on the left, not the one on the right, but the middle member of the Lollipop Guild. The one in green. You know, the handsome one.

Mayor of the Munchkin city. I used to have the speech memorized, and somewhere in my apartment is the barbie version of the hell beast. yay for joke presents from high school friends!

I’d have to go with the cowardly lion here mostly because of the way both of us talk.

I’ll say Toto…the real star of the show. A little mischievous, but lovable too. Did you see him jump out of that basket? ROCK!

Scarecrow – clothes never have fit me too good.

Dorothy. I’m always out there looking for bigger and better things while I know in my heart there’s no place like home.
By Beebs on December 15th, 2008
I’m going to say that I’m most like a munchkin not because of my stature but because I’m generally happy most of the time.
By Kyle on December 16th, 2008
OK, so maybe I haven’t seen the Wizard of Oz in 15 years and I’ve forgot what rolls they played…so I’m going to take a stab at it…I’ll say the Tin Man, because he’s always got a beer bong handy.

Toto was an anti-munchkite. He got paid $125 per week compared to only $50 for the little people. No wonder that one munchkin hung himself behind the woodsman’s house.
I’ll go with the leader of the flying monkeys. ‘Cause who doesn’t want to be a flying monkey?
By Josh on December 16th, 2008
My wife would say tin man, cause sometimes I’m like I don’t have a brain.
By El Duderino on December 16th, 2008
I am going with Toto because he wrote the theme music for “Dune” and he knows what it is like when it rains down in Africa.
By bryce on December 16th, 2008
Dorothy, because I too am human.

The flying monkeys, just because they’re bad ass

I have been called the Wicked Witch many times by students who were unhappy with their grades.
By Lauren on December 17th, 2008
Auntie Em. Cause i just b*tch and b*tch and b*tch.
By Alex on December 17th, 2008
I’d say I’m most like the scarecrow
Somedays my head feels a little hollow
And Sometimes I dress like a hobo
I have a friend with a dog named Toto!!!!!!!
By Wade Ogle on December 18th, 2008
Dorothy…because sometimes I get the menstrual cramps real hard.
By jesse on December 18th, 2008
Uh . . . Uncle Henry?
By Total Bastard on December 18th, 2008
I’ll remove myself from this drawing. I can’t go.

The tin man b/c everytime I cry everything stops functioning.
By Jim Johnson on December 22nd, 2008
I identify with the Tin Woodsman because he was heartless and he had an ax to grind.
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, and Bill Clinton were on the yellow brick road, going to see the Wizard of Oz. When they got there, the Wizard of Oz said they could each have one wish. ”I want to have brains,” said George W. POOF! He got some brains.
”I want to have a heart,” said Dick Cheney. POOF! He had a heart (albeit a problematic one.)
”I want to have courage,” said Colin Powell. POOF! He had courage.
Finally it was former President, Bill Clinton’s turn. ”Well, what do you want?” asked the Wizard.
Clinton thought a moment and asked, ”Ummm… Is Dorothy around?”

the tin man used to freak me out as a kid
By Schleuss on December 31st, 2008
I’d really like to be one of those monkeys. They had those awesome wheel-feet. I always wanted wheel feet. It seems like an appropriate way to get around.
By Julie Zeigler on January 1st, 2009
is this how you enter the contest for the tickets?
By Kenneth Green on January 1st, 2009
I’m going to say the lion, because he was always very loving and cudly.
By Todd Gill on January 1st, 2009
@Julie Zeigler: You betcha.
By chancevb on January 2nd, 2009
I’ll say the Lion, because I usually end up on the right side of promo pictures for plays at the WAC.
By Jennifer Green on January 2nd, 2009
I feel like I identify most with Dorothy. My husband I recently moved here from MS. I thought it would be great to leave all of my troubles and the hectic lifestyle behind and in a way start new and carefree. Now that I am here I do love it. It is a beautiful area and the first few months were great. In November I was unable to go home for Thanksgiving and I then realized how much I missed my family and I really wanted to go home. I did get to go home for Christmas and had fun with old friends and family, then I realized no matter how beautiful and relaxing it is here, there is still ” No place like home”!
