The great thing was that if you didn't know what it was, then you'd just think it was a pretty wedding quote. I think about half the guests got it - probably the same half that realized that the recessional music was in fact an instrumental "Code Monkey."
I love my geek friends.

Re: Man commits suicide by jumping off Disneyland parking structure
It must be the "other things" that makes it special because the princess bride doesn't do it for me. It could be because I have never seen "the princess Bride", I guess.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:amoung other things, it's also a quote from "the princess bride"
I"ll just plead ignorance and let it go. Carry on without me.

Re: Man commits suicide by jumping off Disneyland parking structure
Back to the suicide topic...
There was a jumper from the Disneyland Hotel in the past year, right? It's kind of a thing.
I completely agree with the idea that people gravitate towards a place that makes them feel comfortable or understood when they think about suicide. I believe that, sometimes, they seek these situations for help, and when it doesn't work, they turn to suicide. Which is sad.
If you think about it, the suicide rate skyrockets immediately after the holidays. For some people, that's all they have left, and when Christmas doesn't bring them out of a dark place...
My thoughts go out to this man's family.

Legend: Alligators dwell in the sewers beneath Disneyland.
Truth: There are no sewers below Disneyland, and therefore no alligators in them. The secret tunnels are infested with mutant rats, however.

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."
"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Guilty...I haven't had the time to be geeky as of late. I am retiring soon that should give me the time to catch up. Sometimes it's hard to fit in. :(

Re: Man commits suicide by jumping off Disneyland parking structure
Amphigory - LOVE IT!!! I have one of the quotes on my FB page. "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect"....that about sums me up. I can't wait to get home and tell my husband about the wedding program.
