h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Why does the Princess Bride keep popping up all over the place??

We're all "Columbo" fans?

That's about the biggest stretch I've ever heard. Not that I don't like Peter Falk too, but he's certainly not the reason I love tPB.

I have to admit something... I've never seen tPB.
i had never heard of the entire film before I sniffed this group.
You seem to be full of it indeed .
I just read a lot about it here, deducted that it must have a lot of Italian names in it and used it in my Mascarpone entry. Neat huh.
But erm... why is it such a good film? When was it made?
Should I still rent it? Will it be my friend?

As you wish

... not that gorgonzola isn't a truely exquisite product among all things dairy and mouldy... oh exalted and pungent one...

That's enough grovelling...
The Princess Bride (1987) is a superb comedy, and is quite definately a film to see. IMDB rate it in the top 100 films of all time!!!

So buy it, rent it, own it, quote it - join the world!

So I SHOULD go see it then.
If that's what you're telling me.
And I do believe that's what you're telling me.
If that's NOT what you're telling me,
please tell me what you ARE telling me.

I'm telling you many things - like the Beatles are good for you, that you should never be cruel to a cheese, and that Yes, you should see TPB.

Never be mean to a cheese
'cause a cheese is another cheeses' mother
They sit in the dark on dank shelves
quietly discussing curdled milk to themselves.


Too cute to put on brownbread, actually.

Sometimes it is best
To forget about those twerps
Who ate all your cheese

And if, in a moment of starvation,
You are forced to eat your only cheese -
Forgive yourself, for it is better for you to survive,
Than the cheese.

And write it a requim.

i would rather die than eat fred

And so you shouldn't - afterall, Fred is no ordinary Cheese.

If you did, not only would we have to find a Roasted Amoeba called Fred, we'd have to search for another Cheese.

exactly, besides in his absense who knows what would happen, the basi fabric of the universe (denim, or possibly flanelet) could be badly effected, and the fridge would seem very empty too

I know the feeling of an empty fridge - it brings tears to my eyes every time... I would never be able to part with a cheese. I always have some cheddar.

indeed, but anyway cheese strings, a good or a bad thing?

You can't sandwhich them.

What worries me is that Fred the Roasted Amoeba is out there somewhere, at this very moment, possibly starving... and who knows WHAT would happen if he were to die? I can't bear to think of it.

Sob... sob...

I'm sure someone is looking after him, don't worry.
Is he your brother?
