    It's because you're always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

    Those are all great. You know the chorus of Sing, too. This is because the word Sing over and over again comprises ~80% of it, which means I've just taught it you. You're welcome.

    So apparently when the Princess Bride was first being adapted, they wanted Andre the Giant to play Fezzik, but he was a little out of their price range at the time.

    So they settled and hired...Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    However, the movie was in developmental hell for so long that he left the project and by the time they were finally ready to start filming, Arnold was now out of their price range. However, fortunately Andre was now affordable and he was the one they wanted anyways even if his back wouldn't let him do many of the stunts at this point in his life.

    Also, Mandy Patinkin (Indigo) sometimes had trouble understanding Andre's lines, and so he would respond by slapping him to get him to concentrate.

    When asked about his favorite part of filming the movie, Andre would remark that it was that nobody looked at him strangely, he was treated as equal to everyone else despite his size.

    As a side note, Buttercup is occasionally referred to as a princess in the movie, despite being a farm girl who has not yet married the prince. This plot hole is actually solved in the book where Humperdinck cannot marry a commoner so he makes her the princess of a fictional country before announcing their engagement.

    Isn't she a princess in the movie too? I could have sworn she was. That's how her and Wesley meet, isn't it? She's the princess and he's her farm boy?

    She was raised on the farm, landed gentry, and Wesley worked on the farm, Farm Boy.

    I think it's been thoroughly documented that there are few things SE++ loves more than retard-fencing.

    That reminds me, we need a cool new "Happenstance and Ribaldry" image for 2012.

    If they ever release those photos of Osama bin Laden with a hole in his head, that should be the image for 2011.

    I nominate this image.

    Get one of them artsy types to wrap things up, we're going out for scotch whiskey and whores.

    PS- seriously, that picture's pretty great.

    I don't know why it popped into my head, but it is just too perfect.

    Bar's pretty high, people.

    Don't just stand there lollygagging (gaggy-lolling?), you're not going to beat that if you dither about all night.

    Every time I see someone post that I pause for a second thinking it's about me. Only to see that it isn't and that I can't feed off the attention to sustain myself.
