Munchkins?

Postby Racetyme » Wed Mar 14, 2007 4:55 pm

This term has been everywhere recently, and I can infer a meaning, but where the hell did it come from?

I had to look it up, too. Here:

I thought the munchkins in Oz were very good roleplayers.

*sigh* Sorry but there are no lollipops in Cantr for there to be a lollipop guild - nor do we really need the services of a lullaby league - there are enough sleepers already . :wink:


We represent the Lullaby League, The Lullaby League, The Lullaby League
And in the name of the Lullaby League,
We wish to welcome you to Munchkinland
