I have to watch The Princess Bride again

Friday, September 23, 2022


Yesterday I was playing Jeopardy on my Amazon Echo device like I do on days when I remember to and don’t worry about how dumb it’s going to make me feel when I only get 2 or less out of 6 answers right. 

A clue came up about Princess Bride. I was immediately feeling confident because this movie is one of my all-time favorites and I can almost literally recite every line. 

Of course you probably already know what happened. I missed the question. Wtf?!? Omg, I was horrified at myself. I let out a pretty loud F-bomb when I ran out of time to say the question. 

The answer was something along the lines of “I was the name of the princess in The Princess Bride.” 

Who is Buttercup!?! Duh!

It came to me about 5 seconds late. I was legit mad at myself for not knowing that in time. Like really?!? There are MUCH harder Jeopardy clues about that movie than that one. C’mon Nick!

Anyway, it’s the next day and I’m STILL reeling about getting that wrong so the only way to solve the problem is to watch the movie again and try to feel better about myself.  

Have a great weekend! Have fun storming the castle!
