This little quiz is on the back of one of the new books I picked up today at the library, “The Totally Geeky Guide to the Princess Bride” by MaryAnn Johanson:
Are you a Princess Bride fanatic?
Who is the sworn enemy of Florin?
- Rosencranz
- Guildenstern
- Guilder
To avoid the first Classic Blunder, you should:
- Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
- Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
- Never utter a line from The Princess Bride unless you want to be spouting quotes all day.
Name the fencing strategy to counter Bonetti’s Defense.
- Casablanca
- Copernicus
- Capoferro
Finish the sentence: Plato, Aristotle & Socrates are:
- Morons
- Dead
- Philosophers
ANSWERS
“Well, if you don’t know, I’m not going to spoil the movie for you by giving away all the fun. But if you’re thinking, ‘Hey, why don’t you ask what the three terrors of the Fire Swamp are, or why no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Westley, or what “as you wish” means, or what interpersonal institution is considered “a dweam within a dweam?’ then you already know what kind of a fanatic you are.”
The Princess Bride is quite simply my favorite movie of all time & I am so excited to be reading the book this month for my book club, which I hear is quite different from the movie, along with this fun little diddy that came with the book club kit. After all, “when I was your age, television was called books & this is a special book!"
