I can go for months without using the can opener or the melon baller in my kitchen, or the drain snake.
Just because you don't use something every day, or even every month, doesn't mean you don't need it.
Okay but do you have a section of your house dedicated to the can opener, including decoration and a table specifically made for the potential tin man you'll use it on, the ONLY thing it could be used for?
I'm only one person.
And who says that the buffer could only be for a Tin Man? There might be a community of giants who favor armor close enough for the buffer to be a necessity.
No one ever freaks out when the foursome shows up; it's a land where magic is common. Who knows how many animate metal folks arrive on a daily basis.
Also, look at Manhattan. It's not that big an island. But even if you only look below 14th Street, you'll find two unused subway stations. If Manhattan can support two unsued subway stations, Oz can support at least a dozen giant buffers.
If tin man is manufactured there must be hundreds of them working as woodsmen. If they are natural, there would be a population of at least thousands to be sustainable. I wonder if tin women lay eggs or have live births?
Live births. Tin Women have an internal, moving assembly line. They are hundreds of times larger than a tin man.
Tin man in the book was made by... not manufacturing. It was upsetting but it's been so long all I remember was "Well these books are vastly different". There was also a village of china dolls.
I remember that the Wicked Witch of the East (the one killed by Dorthy's house) had enchanted the axe of a man who was a woodcutter named Nick Chopper. The axe would randomly dismember his own body when used. Some guy he knew would replace his body part when that happened, eventually replacing everything, which is how he became the tinman.
But nobody ever said "Hey buddy, how about maybe buying a new axe since this one keeps chopping off things?"
I'm also fairly certain someone saved the body parts and made a new not him from them? That was probably a later book though.
Woodcutter of Theseus?
The books got extremely weird!
Wall mounted can openers were a thing, my grandma had one, and it had a decorated back plate too with 60's style orange and brown flowers printed on it.
Scarecrow's table right next to it is identical. Hopefully they put some kind of cushioning on them for clients not made out of tin or straw.
Well, we know that Tik-Tok also exists in Oz, so maybe there are more mechanical beings than you'd expect.
They sang "Whether you're tin or bronze", so this is very likely.
Tik-Tok was amazing.
Are we under the assumption that there is only one Tin man in existence?
Based off wicked....
Oh... Yes wicked... I totally saw that.
Is it so bad as it seems?
spoiler alert gahhl
Hey, I still didn't watch the FNAF movie. It came out in 2023, but I am waiting for the DVD to get cheaper. Other movies are like £3 on Amazon, this one was £15.
I've been meaning to see it ever since it first came out!
...And the fuckin' reaping hooks hanging behind the Scarecrow's station?
That's for cutting the hay they're stuffing into the Scarecrow, from the dispenser.
Yes, but the point is they're apparently already equipped for ambulatory scarecrows. I wonder just how many of those they service in a week.
Who knows what other specialty services them or other spa type shops have
Let’s be honest. If you and I can think of several pleasurable uses for this, so can the citizens of Ox.
"Bender?!"
You think that ass stays shiny all by itself?
Well, no, but I thought it was polished by everyone biting it as they are told to.
