Princess Bride is Twenty Years Old

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

One of my favorite movies (save your jabs for the comments section) Princess Bride is twenty years old. That makes me feel, well, old I guess. I saw this on Digg and the “Then and Now” pictures come via ABC News.

dear sir or madam:

at approximately 00:30 on thursday morning, i was with a friend walking back from a night of drunken revelry when i spotted a pair of crutches leaning against the fence by the tennis courts. you are evidently very tall, as i had to adjust these crutches before i could mockingly, drunkenly use them. i apologize for any inconvenience i caused you and would be more than happy to return your cripple sticks.

please respond at your earliest convenience. tell me what your crutches look like so i don’t give them to a cripple-poser.
