'Wizard Of Oz' Trivia:

The Mean Apple Trees came up with a fun new way to keep score of all the annoying Munchkins they had taken out.

[Jon Simons]

Following the news of the most recent atrocity Inspector Roots of Special Branch admits to much departmental soul searching.

[Jon Simons]

Scientists locate lair of giant centipede

[Caroline Morris]

Shoe tree

[Caroline Morris]

Ripper

The discovery of a collection of victims' footwear gives rise to a new multiple ripper theory - it was a load of old cobblers.

[Caroline Morris]

Non Ripper

Generous Irishmen come to the rescue when they hear that the oldest tree in their village has grown several feet.

[Jon Simons]

Ripper

Leather Apron accusations force local bootmaker, John Pizer, into hiding.

The slippermaker, John Pizer's, family tree....

[tel]

No How, I said 'You wanna shoot the breeze, not ......'

[Caroline Morris]

Forest Pumps

[Jon Simons]

Mosques forced to move into the countryside

[Brad McGinnis]

All I could come up with was really rotten ripper puns, sorry.
Jack's neferious feets rank among the worst in his tree.
In order to find a solution to the problem of homeless soles the White Chapel Vigilance commitee established Habitat for Humanitree.

[Robert Linford]

JTR did indeed wear rubber-soled shoes, and here is the rubber tree he got them from.

Environmentalists campaigning to save this tree from road development, use Howrd Brown's shoes to set up a protective six mile odour exclusion zone.

[Caroline Morris]

No wonder the police were up a gum tree - they wanted to get within fifty feet of Jack.

[Archaic]

Ripper Related:

Although Barnaby and Bourgho failed to sniff out Warren's trail through the park,
they were highly successful when it came to treeing several squirrels and a horde of small children.

[Robert Linford]

Botanists have now identified this object. The sheer number of shoes marks it out as female, and the wooden nature of the object suggests that it is, in fact, Joan Collins.

[Sam Flynn]

JTR-related: WH Bury (for it is he): "When I said I needed a trunk for the old boot I was talking about my wife, you daft sod - and I didn't mean that kind of trunk either!"

Non-related: Shoe manufacturers protest as genetically-modified rubber tree cuts out middle-man.

[Sam Flynn]

PS: I note that Gumshoe is reading this thread as I type.. stuck for a caption, eh, Gummers? :)

[Robert Linford]

At length the practice of policemen disguising themselves reached ridiculous proportions. Here we show an officer from Special Branch.

[Archaic]

Frustrated by the inability of Law Enforcement to capture the Ripper,
angry Whitechapel residents adopt an old Iraqi custom of throwing their shoes at effigies of their leaders.

LOL!!!!

[Archaic]

Venus Fly-Trap On Steroids.

[Robert Linford]

The photographs Howard Brown took to accompany the latest reissue of the Sherlock Holmes stories, were rejected by the publisher as "bizarre." Here we see Howard's interpretation of "A Sandal in Bohemia."

Upon its rejection Howard resubmitted it as "The Copper Beeches" (see post 20).

And upon its second rejection, How resubmitted it as "His Last Bough."

Cue Caz.

[How Brown]

The previous post is precisely why I am sending in a few extra dollars on Jon G. Simons' behalf so he wins this week's event either fairly or by the way I used to...er, fairly with a cash incentive..

I gotta caption that I'm saving. Trust me. Its better...more better in fact...than all the combined captions I've seen...except Jon Simons'...which with the $25 I tossed the trailer court Queen's way...should be most triumphant this week.

[Roy Corduroy]

Tie a bunch of sneakers round the old oak tree :yo::bounce::bounce: :violin:

Finally twigging that he was barking up the wrong tree and his creative efforts were putting him out on a limb, How decided to bough out, kick his heels and hang up his trainers.

[tel]

Relations between the shoemaker and the elves became somewhat strained after the explosion.

[Robert Linford]

One-legged people who can't buy shoes singly at half the price, hope their protest will draw attention to their plight.

[tel]

When the squirrels turned carnivorous they began keeping records.

[Robert Linford]

Yes, Howard's nuts are buried under that tree.

[Caroline Morris]

Roadside shrine to St. Servatus, Patron Saint of Bunions and Corns.

...hence the adage: mighty oaks from little corns grow.

[Jon Simons]

Cunning Robin and his Merry Men were always one step ahead of the Sheriff of Nottingham
