All of my college friends got it. The older folks were a little befuddled. It was great to see their faces. It was too bad that he felt the need to explain what he did and why. :rolleyes:

Miracle Max: Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world... Except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich - where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. [smacks lips] They're so perky, I love that.

When ill health forced Andre to largely quit wrestling in the late ‘80s, he accepted the role of Fezzik in Rob Reiner’s movie The Princess Bride. Everyone on the set loved the big man, with the possible exception of Reiner himself. Ever the sociable fellow, he kept fellow cast members Mandy Patinkin and Carey Elwes out night after night, drinking and otherwise goofing around. The actors were incapable of matching Andre’s intake, but certainly gave it a serious try. As a result, they often showed up on set still loaded or suffering from the sort of hangovers that make death seem a pleasant alternative. Reiner tried to get Andre to leave the actors alone, but Andre could only be Andre, and the other cast members continued to pay the price.

The shooting schedule required Andre to be in England for about a month. When his part wrapped, Andre checked out of his suite at the Hyatt in London and flew back to his ranch in North Carolina. His bar bill for the month-long stay?

Just a shade over $40,000.

OK, I seen it now. That Buttercup was a wuss.

...and they should have wrapped the miracle pill in bacon, then chocolate-coated it.
