The single greatest Dope post I read last year was...

Well, that’ll vary by poster, obviously. But I’ll nominate this gem from Captain Amazing, in a thread I started called “Let’s psychoanalyze the hell out fo the Wizard of Oz.” Here’s the first paragraph:

@Captain_Amazing

As soon as Dorothy gets to Oz, the first thing that happens is that she kills the Wicked Witch of the East. This is clearly a reference to her mother, who died in childbirth bearing Dorothy. For further proof of that, note that she first lands in Munchkintown…the Munchkins, with their diminutive stature, clearly represent infants. Further, after the witch is killed, her slippers wind up on Dorothy’s feet…this is Dorothy’s “inheritance”, so to speak. Her protests to Glinda and the Munchkins that “I didn’t mean to kill her”, shows her residual guilt at her mother’s death.

**Amazing **earned his rank with that one.

Anybody else have a better post from 2009?
