Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite sure I'm familiar with that phrase.

Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon.

Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.

Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.

Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.

Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.

Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand let's get on with it!

Westley: WRONG! Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child in seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out dear god what is that thing, will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

Soccer double header... twisted my ankle and there is a nice looking bruise on my foot that I am sure is due to someone much bigger than I stepping on it...

that... and I'm a smelly bastard...

The above passage (for those of you who aren't so cool because you should instantly have known from where the passage comes) was from the Princess Bride...

That is hands down and in all other ways my favorite movie...

I find myself laughing and laughing at every scene with Fezzik and saying the lines along with each and every character... Although I own this movie on DVD, for some reason or another, whenever it is on cable, I am strangely drawn to watching it... (don't judge me - there are stranger compulsions out there...)

It just finished, and during the "To the pain" scene I was thinking about the pain of my foot and aching muscles (as I am not a good soccer player [I'm afraid that I'm not even an average one] I am probably more prone to this type of injury - but it could be, perhaps, that really good players aren't cry babies...)

In any case, that scene really had nothing to do with actual physical pain (foot pain included), but more of a suffering pain -- almost like hell, but while you are alive...

but if you can read, you would have gotten that from the passage... (But the fact that you can read is obvious because you got this far into this entry, didn't you?)

[disclaimer]

um... I didn't mean insult anyone that is reading this by implying that you couldn't read... and I certainly did not mean to insult anyone who is reading this that cannot read... although... if they can't read then they would likely be looking at this, and not reading...

[End disclaimer]

So... speaking of compulsions - I am now compelled to jump (but in reality step) into the shower to wash that smell right outta my hair

and the whole of my integumentary system...
