The Princess Bride? What is that?

So I was at work the other day and I quoted "The Princess Bride" because it totally fit into the conversation.  My friend was so confused, so naturally, I began to quote the rest of the movie, starting with the most memorable quotes ("No more rhymes now I mean it!  Anybody want a peanut?" and "My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.").  She still didn't know what it was!  This baffled me!  Who doesn't know who the Princess Bride is?





Some other people came into the conversation and then I quoted the movie again, but again, no one knew what I was talking about.  I was quite baffled.  Then Chrissy told me that it was a white person's movie.  I highly doubted it, but then we started taking a poll.  We asked at least 10 people.  Here are the results: ONLY white people had even heard of the movie.  Not everyone had seen it in the last 10 years, but they recognized the name.  People of color had never heard of the movie.  This is now quite a big joke.  I lent Chrissy the movie, and her family enjoyed it.  The whole situation was "inconceivable"!

Utah trip

I spent some time in Utah for Christmas.  It was a lot of fun, and I admit that I miss being close to my family and I miss the mountains.  It was awesome to see everybody after so long an absence.  We threw a frisbee around, made "gingerbread" houses, shot skeet, and went bowling.

Elmina shot the 410 shotgun for the first time.  Turns out she's left eyed like some of us.
