How has "The Princess Bride" affected your life today?

[jobycom]

I've referenced it twice in posts this morning. Wait, no, now three times.

[Hugin]

1. That's a deep and resounding question...

I must reflect on it.

[Jokerman]

2. It's inconceivable...

I stay the hell away from that forest with the giant rats, that's for damn sure!

[malmapus]

25. You keep using that word

I do not think it means what you think it means.

[miss_american_pie]

3. I mentioned it in a blog entry.

:shrug:

[Divameow77]

4. Inconceivable!

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Now I have referenced it too.

[jobycom]

That was one of them!

5. I read the book sometime between 1982 and 1986

while in undergrad school... I realized immediately that it was a rare find, and managed to spread the reading of it over two weeks, instead of the usual day. Surprisingly, the movie was just as good as the book (rare). I like the quote " I don't think that word means what you think it means".

6. Makes me feel like saying:

"Hello. My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

[jobycom]

11. Wasn't that sort of Bush's rationale for invading Iraq, except of course

that Hussein didn't actually kill his father?

[AtomicKitten]

14. you know, now that you mention it, Bush clearly plagiarized Princess Bride

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I was reading something about Andre The Giant earlier.

[underpants]

8. Same as yesterday I walked into my boss's office and threatened him

with "to the pain" He doesn't mess with me if I remind him of it every day.

[jobycom]

9. Good strategy. You are a true disciple.

[Tikki]

10. Sometimes I search the movie....

databases looking for movies with Robin Wright Penn.

and I will look again, today....I think she is a great actress.

12. Yeah, but

Message in a Bottle had the worst ending! Not her fault, though.

[leftofthedial]

13. Is this a kissing thread?

you tricked me.

[kay1864]

15. Helped me meet my wife...

I used it in my "favorite movie quotes" in my profile:
"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die."

(the others were from Raising Arizona and Babe)

16. I bought it a while back and watched it for the first time since I was

a kid! Still a GREAT movie!

[kick-ass-bob]

17. I said "he's only mostly dead"

just this morning.

:crazy:

[Shell Beau]

18. Well I'll be!

:P

[kick-ass-bob]

19. how've you been?

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

22. Good!! Totaled my car though!!

But I'm good! And you?

:hi:

[kick-ass-bob]

23. Replaced the water pump on our car

$350 I wasn't expecting to have to pay. There goes the tax refund! :crazy:

I'm good - a little cross-eyed from what I have to do today, but it's mindless crap for once.

[Shell Beau]

24. Yeah, my tax refund said bye-bye too!

I am in Alabama this week. In a very small and strange little town! Big change from Jackson/Brandon!!!

[WillParkinson]

20. Well, I served Mandy Patinkin...

I loved the movie. I thought it'd be nice to serve him. Went way over and above normal service and he didn't tip (though there was 15% on the check) anything for the extra nice service.

[Ryano42]

21. Iocaine...

Scared to death of it.

Looking desperately for a Holocaust Cloak on Ebay! :dunce:

"Someone has beaten a giant..."

[malmapus]

26. Almost referenced a good MLT in the BLT thread

Asking if the BLT is not the best breakfast sandwhich.

I was <-> close to praising a good MLT where the mutton is nice and lean, just melts in your mouth.

[jobycom]

27. That's what inspired this thread!!! I was way ahead of you!

[malmapus]

28. Hah! didn't even see it till now!

What I get for not reading the entire thread lol. Glad someone did :D

[petronius]

29. I learned not to casually dismiss the existence of ROUSs.

just 'cause you don't see the danger at first doesn't mean it isn't there...

[jobycom]

32. Oh yeah.

Republicans Of Unusual Sycophancy--definitely creatures to avoid!

[petronius]

33. LOL!

Unfortunately, "unusual" is becoming less and less meaningful in that context...

[kmla]

30. Sadly, it hasn't.

Why don't you just give me a paper cut, and then pour lemon juice on it?

[jobycom]

31. It has now. nt.
