Break out the Andrew Sullivan, kids, because we're getting all college and shit with a little Dark Side of Oz action - you know, when you play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon over The Wizard of Oz for a little psychedelic synchronization.

If you're going to do this at home, remember two things: first, start the album on the second MGM lion's roar and don't forget to play the album on repeat, otherwise it'll stop in the middle of the movie and totally ruin your buzz.

(Just for your reference, the video features "Money".)

Last month we wrote about a heterosexual couple who fly the rainbow flag outside their Bed and Breakfast in rural Meade, Kansas. They say they did not raise it as a symbol of gay rights, but because their 12-year-old son sent it as a gift and they wanted to be reminded of him.

Yes, the story is bizarre, but it has caused an uproar in the small town, and someone cut the flag down over the weekend. J.R. Knight and his wife Robin (pictured), the owners, are determined to fly the flag, because if they took it down then it would "send the wrong message" to their son, so they have ordered two replacements for the one cut down.

We feel that we aren't getting all the facts in this story. A 12-year-old boy living in California most certainly knows what the rainbow flag means, though he is on the record as saying he bought it as a souvenir from "Dorothy's House," a Wizard of Oz theme park because it reminded him of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

If any of you readers know more about this story, please email us. We're fascinated, but also confused and a bit suspicious.
