Not one but two (nearly identical) references to "The Princess Bride" have been flagkilled. I understand not wanting to devolve into reddit, but is HN really so humorless? This is life imitating art, people. In this context, such references are 100% on-point.
He wasn't the real Dread Pirate Roberts either. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia.

- jndsn402 12y agoThis. Thank you. And if I may digress into some meta-HN analysis, the original comment received about 7 upvotes in the few minutes after it was posted (i.e. when it was near the top). But when newer comments came in and it was near the bottom, that's when the downvoting started.
- Dylan16807 12y agoInteresting. Now stop calling your own comment 'awesome', please. And you have very lax standards for 'timely'.
- lexcorvus 12y agois HN really so humorless? The verdict is in: yes, HN really is so humorless. Such a pity.
