Very concerned... I can see how the whole David Bowie thing is confusing, especially since I have been slipping in references to Labyrinth. When either of you *see* the movie,(like you said you would) you'll realize that it is a double reference... It's actually quite funny. Don't worry, I'll laugh for you. Me too. Very concerned…

PAY DIRT!!!!! first entry, i got no futher, no need, is an awesome site entitled, "david bowie's area" complete with a 50 question test to determine if you really have the "balls" to be, or to aspire to be, an aficionado of db's "area"--dba. www.areaology.com/areapure.html i must say dem are some kinda man jewels!!! if you do not think this is one of the funniest sites (other than of course rb nation) you have ever seen, i'm sad to report there is no hope for you and you should drive to the nearest wal-mart, buy a gun and end it now.

I hate to feel left out. And you're right: all of The Princess Bride is worth quoting. I might as well post the whole script.

Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know. Man in Black: And what is that? Inigo Montoya: I... am not left-handed.

Inigo Montoya: Tell me. Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either. Vizzini: Finish him. Finish him, your way. Fezzik: Oh good, my way. Thank you Vizzini... which one's my way? Vizzini: Pick up one of those rocks, get behind a boulder, in a few minutes the man in black will come running around the bend, the minute his head is in view, hit it with the rock. Fezzik: My way's not very sportsman-like. The problem is, the whole movie is worth quoting. (I'm not sure Robin has seen Labyrinth, I keep sneaking in comments and quotes and she misses them all.)

Sadly, I haven't read the book. Will have to remedy that! *g* Favorite scene, I love the sword fight scene hands down, such good dialogue there too. Then when he's on the torture rack. Love it! If my memory wasn't so fogged from the heat I'd try and think of my fave line from the sword fight. Followed the link over from Diana’s blog. Sadly, I haven’t read the book.
