Now anyone who knows me and/or has read this blog, has surely discovered my deep and abiding interest in "The Princess Bride", and I have read the book as well. I even wrote in for the bit that William Goldman teases about. I think I have the letter folded up inside the book.
But this was my movie in college. As I've said, I wore out two VHS tapes watching it before I got the DVD. Becasue of this, NSM told of a coworker of his (and future coworker of mine) as a teller at Wells Fargo who tried to stump him with a quote. I'm not sure of the quote itself, but it wasn't an altogether obscure one. NSM threw out the countersign with a bit of derision, and asked the guy if he didn't realize how many times I had watched it. NSM would watch it with me, but while he was working on our next game. He picked up a lot on a subconscious level.
