I never knew anyone who could understand the name he yells out into the storm. I always thought it had three syllables, actually. But just now I sent the link to my friend who loves the book and the movie, and read the book (in German) before seeing the movie, and he was all confused to find out that most people don't know her name.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
husband's insistence that everyone instantly recognize the quote about the Montgolfier Brothers going up in their first ballon.
WTF? I've never heard about this.
Ok, The Empress is going to die unless Atreyu (hot Plains People boy) finds her a new name. In reading the story, Bastian realizes that he's got to name her or Fantasia is going to explode go boom. He yells it out of the window of the attic, but it's all stormy and no one understands it. Turns out, it's "Moonchild", which is dumb.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Most of that sounds familiar. I just had never heard the "Moonchild" thing. Bee-zar.

Seriously? Seriously, seriously?
I saw that movie a bunch, and while I never quite understood what Bastian (wow, a whole family of dumb names...) was saying, I never thought it was something like frelling Moonchild.

I believe the whole line is, "Moonchild, my mom!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dick Cheney told Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself. On the Senate floor. I mean, he said it on the Senate floor, not that that's where he wanted the Senator to do it.

"Go fuck yourself on the Senate floor!" Yeah, that would be puzzling.

Yeah, that's the incident. I was too lazy to look up specifics, and I knew Jesse would come along and give correct details.
Or, you know, somebody...
But yeah, presumably, Cheney started to say something along the lines of "He must be a friend of Patrick Leahy's" before what passes for a brain in that man kicked in and said NOOOOOOOO! DON'T SAY THAAAT!

Though, I must admit, I would've laughed had Cheney said that.
