He’s only mostly dead 9/9/2023 Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS #theprincessbride

I’m currently reading As You Wish by Cary Elwes aka Farmboy / Westley / Dread Pirate Roberts / Man in Black. With the writing assistance of Jay Layden, Cary Elwes recounts the behind the scenes stories of the making of the movie The Princess Bride. The stories are delightful.

Since I have The Princess Bride on my mind, and today’s stream of consciousness prompt is to use “mostly”, here’s the ‘he’s only mostly dead’ scene with Billy Crystal as Miracle Max explaining why the Man in Black is only mostly dead.
