You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

we are all, i'm sure, familiar with the classic character of inigo montoya from the princess bride, portrayed by mandy patinkin. inigo, of course, seeks revenge for the death of his father, killed by count rugen (played by christopher guest).

inigo tells us that he was only 11 when rugen murdered his father. but it occurred to me that mandy patinkin and christopher guest look to be around the same age, both in real life and the movie. and, indeed, guest is only 4 years older than patinkin.

what that means is inigo's father, who was supposed to be some kick-ass bladesmith and sword fighter, got his ass handed to him by someone with a fucking learner's permit. i'm sorry, but maybe instead of focusing on REVENGEREVENGEREVENGE you should come to terms with the fact that your dad got bitchmade. just tell people he drowned in a rafting accident or something less humiliating.
