Here's a question for you AJ, Dingo, Pipemajor et al.
Who said, "there's no place like home"? And why has it got nothing to do with the Chiefs?

Walker,
I know nothing about the Chiefs football team, but the phrase, "there's no place like home " originated with the song "Home, sweet home ."
See here
"there's no place like home
One is most comfortable in one's own surroundings. This phrase is a quotation from the song “Home, Sweet Home” (1823), words by John Howard Payne and music by Sir Henry Rowley Bishop, from the opera Clari, introduced at London's Covent Garden."

Well I thought it was the Wizard of Oz. 
I've been to Kansas City many times and I even played it in a jam on Monday. Never been to a Chiefs game, but I do know they got a lot of lovely women there....

Great knowledge Dingo - brilliant!
However, I was just kind of thinking (like Tom) about the line in the Wizard of Oz. I believe Dorothy was referring to Kansas as home. However, the Kansas City Chiefs are actually based in Kansas City, Missouri not Kansas City, Kansas. Feel free to correct me here, but I believe both cities are actually connected together on the border of their respective states.
The only other thing I know about the film is that Toto was a Cairn Terrier, which is a native Scottish dog breed, related to the other Scottish Terriers. Tom did I ever tell you the story of Greyfriars Bobby.

Yup! Dorothy was referring to Kansas. In movie related trivia, the town of Liberal claims to be the same town in the movie even though they never named it in the film. The Chiefs are located in neighboring Missouri (along with the Royals, our baseball team), but every Kansan roots for them anyway. Now, KU vs K-State.... Thats a whole different issueGreat knowledge Dingo - brilliant!

I like how this thread made me look like some sort of football fanatic when really I could care less about sports.

'Over the Rainbow' and 'How Much is that Doggie in the Window?' have both been in my repertoire over the years.
Yes, you did mention Greyfriars Bobby, it was a good story! And, it's true, Kansas City Missouri (to the east) and Kansas City Kansas (to the west) share a common border, which does not follow, except for a short distance, the Missouri River, at which point both cities share a border with the city of North Kansas City. How about them apples? I am not a Kansas City expert by any means, as our friend AccordionJustice is. My daughter lived there for several years so I spent some time there. It's a nice city, but way too hot and humid for yours truly, my accordion leathers would curl unequivocally I fear.Great knowledge Dingo - brilliant!
