Well, there's our Raggedy, listeners. Thanks, PA for the celeb updates.

My goodness, folks. How could I forget Cary and those men in tights.
Probably because I never saw the movie, perhaps?

I did see The Princess Bride, however, but I can't remember a thing about it except that the bad guy was someone named Zane. He was the no goodnik in Titanic as well.

Raggedy, you are so good at jogging my memory, gal. A picture does often do the trick.

These Europeans have an uncanny way of dropping in and out, right folks? McTag and his "greetings" and so far, not a word from Walter or Francis. Haven't seen nimh since the squid.

Well, Letty must drop out for a spell. Back to the horsepital I go. <smile>

Of course all the very best wishes from here, Letty.

(I'm just in and out since we have guests again, and 14 and 13 years old boys ... well, either they occupy both computers or we are giving them some action :wink: )

Memorable quotes from the classic, "The Princess Bride":


Quote:
Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
Fezzik: Fuss, fuss... I think he like to scream at *us*.
Inigo Montoya: Probably he means no *harm*.
Fezzik: He's really very short on *charm*.
Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Vizzini: Enough of that.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.
Vizzini: No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
Vizzini: DYEEAAHHHHHH.

...

[Fencing]
Inigo Montoya: You are wonderful.
Man in Black: Thank you; I've worked hard to become so.
Inigo Montoya: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know.
Man in Black: And what is that?
Inigo Montoya: I... am not left-handed.
[Moves his sword to his right hand and gains an advantage]
Man in Black: You are amazing.
Inigo Montoya: I ought to be, after 20 years.
Man in Black: Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.
Inigo Montoya: Tell me.
Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either.
[Moves his sword to his right hand and regains his advantage]

...

Vizzini: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
Westley: You're that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Westley: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.

...

Vizzini: Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
..
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny. I switched glasses when your back was turned. Ha-ha, you fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.". Hahahahahah.
[Vizzini falls over dead]

...

Inigo Montoya: My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword. My father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done.
[Shows the Man in Black the sword]
Man in Black: I've never seen its equal.
Inigo Montoya: The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price, my father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these.
[strokes the scars on his cheeks]
Man in Black: How old were you?
Inigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

...

Inigo Montoya: Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die. Now, offer me money.
[slices Count Rugen's cheek]
Count Rugen: Yes.
Inigo Montoya: Power too. Promise me that.
[slices Count Rugen's other cheek]
Count Rugen: All that I have and more. Please...
Inigo Montoya: Offer me everything I ask for.
Count Rugen: Any thing you want.
Inigo Montoya: I want my father back, you son of bitch.
[stabs and kills Count Rugan]

Hey Tico wasn't that a great film? The dialogue was fantastic.

Buttercup: You mock my pain.
Westley: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Buttercup: We'll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

[Vizzini has just cut the rope The Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing up]
Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle.
Valerie: Think it'll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.

Westley: Give us the gate key.
Yellin: I have no gate key.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
Yellin: Oh, you mean *this* gate key.

Funny Signs

At a car dealership:
"The best way to get back on your feet -- miss a car payment."


Outside a muffler shop:
"No appointment necessary. We'll hear you coming."


On a desk in a reception room:
"We shoot every 3rd salesman, and the 2nd one just left."


In a veterinarian's waiting room:
"Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"


In a Beauty Shop:
"Dye now!"





On the side of a garbage truck:
"We've got what it takes to take what you've got."


In a crowded restaurant's window:
"Don't stand there and be hungry, come in and get fed up."


Inside a bowling alley:
"Please be quiet. We need to hear a pin drop."


In a cafeteria:
"Shoes are required to eat in the cafeteria. Socks can eat any place
they want."

Often seen on the backs of dump trucks in these parts: "Jesus won't dump you."

The stars at night
Are big and bright
° ° ° °
Deep in the heart of Europe...


I don't know the rest of that song, sorry

Have you chaps ever heard

I'm a blue toothbrush,
You're a pink toothbrush
Have we met somewhere before?
You're a pink toothbrush
And I think, toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door....

Welcome home hubby to our beloved matriarch.

Q: Why are hurricanes usually named after women?
A: Because when they arrive, they're wet and wild, but
when they go, they take your house and car.
