This has become our NYE movie. #hatm

Sorry, #hatm, the “shortage of perfect breasts” line is so so gross.

I go home to Milwaukee all the time but the spices set off airport scanners so I get put aside while they inspect every bottle.

So, #hatm, what does this movie say about 1987ish?

My wife loves it. #hatm

❤️❤️❤️Penzy’s #hatm

Of course it’s from Penzy’s because they have a soul. #hatm

#hatm, they had to bring in a dummy for Cary Elwes during the Miracle Max scenes

Mandy bruised a rib trying to hold back laughter.

My wife: “she can’t pick up a sword and fight the ROUS??”

Everyone gets to have fun except Robin Wright.

This is so good. 😂😂

Cary Elwes says in his memoir that the movie was received as not-so-special until it became available on home video so people could show their kids. #hatm

My wife says that her grandparents usually skipped this part for her, so she never saw it until she was an adult. #hatm

I got to know Cary Elwes as Robin Hood via Mel Brooks and came to this afterward.

He’s truly awesome as an art thief con-man in Psych, a show my wife and I watch yearly. #hatm

#HATM, they perfected this swordfight choreography so well that the final cut was like two minutes. Rob Reiner couldn’t let the greatest swordfight in history be so short. They went back and choreographed more.

#HATM, Cary Elwes sprained his ankle pretty seriously riding Andre’s ATV. He did the “greatest swordfight” in history on this bum ankle.

#HATM, Wallace Shawn assumed he was going to get fired.

Andre the Giant was always in so much back pain that he had an ATV to get around and drank a bottle of cognac a night to “ease” his pain.

#HATM, hard to believe this was the more famous Sarandon at one time.

Wallace Shawn also hated his performance. He complained he couldn’t do Sicilian. Rob Reiner assured him that, funny enough, this Sicilian sounds “just like you.”

1) This one, Princess Bride
2) Duck, Apples, Sweet Potatoes for pre #HATM dinner.

We can ask @ugapress.bsky.social about that!!

It’s true! Thank you @herberthistory.bsky.social and the entire #HATM community for your early and enthusiastic support for this book.

Thanks for sharing!

If you love this #hatm movie, you should check out the audiobook by Cary Elwes on the making and legacy of this film. Truly beautiful.

Found it!!

Is anyone out there live-posting the final voyage of the #EdmundFitzgerald?

This is effectively the point of Bart Elmore’s work on Coca Cola. We all effectively subsidize the business model.

Smoked Chicken, Chicken Brissil

The crowd gathered for the lunch and talk.

A Newspaper Article. “One of the favorite outdoor sports in Greenville now is chicken brissil,” says Birmingham News in 1930

Newspapers from Greenville Advocate in Alabama in 1910 and 1913

Do you chicken brissil? If you are from Greenville in Butler County, Alabama, you do.

It’s a smoked chicken with an emphasis on a tangy vinegar sauce.

I was so glad to talk on Alabama barbecue to the Butler County Historical and Genealogical Society. It was such a great audience!

Boooooooo
