Tin Can Man

The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005) (TV)
Tin Thing: Welcome to the Total Intelligence Network, T.I.N. for short.

Toto: What in the name of all that is holy are you, okay?
Tin Thing: Oh, I'm a T.I.N. thing, a fully robotic information gathering device for the Wicked Witch of the West. And I can answer any question in the universe. Anything.
Toto: I got one. Why are the women so confusing, okay?
Tin Thing: Let me process that.
[holds his breath as an antenna sprouts from the top of his tin head]
Tin Thing: [releases deep breath] It only seems that way because men are so simple.

Scarecrow: You know, I'd give my stuffed flipper for only half of your brain.
Tin Thing: Take it from me, brains don't make you happy.

I found this little can fella in a yard in Byrnes Down neighborhood and thought he was pretty cute.

Don't let me forget that I am supposed to be in Columbia in the morning.

    1. Thanks! You may see more. It looks like I might have a contract on my house so I need to figure out where I can live. I've been walking all the possibilities, Riverland Terrace, Byrnes Downs, Hampton Park. Gotta spare bedroom? :)

  3. Sure! and if you're exploring the neighborhood and see us out on the porch under our bright tin roof, stop by for a cocktail! We'll give you the hard sell on Byrnes Downs, though I can see the appeal of living within walking distance of the Terrace... But speaking as one who moved from the peninsula a few years ago, I can say that wherever you land you're not going to believe how quiet it is at night!
