I Hope You’re Happy, Becky

While I’m on vacation, please enjoy this repeat of a top-upvoted post. Keep sending cute links to submissions@cutetropolis.com! — Mike

(So this is what she wants. Some lanky dreamboat with a nice smile and a desk job at some insurance company. What’s he got that I haven’t got? Besides a neck?)

“Mawwage. Mawwage is wot bwings us togeder tooday.”

(Can he give you true freedom? Can he show you the thrill of standing atop a raging waterfall and snatching salmon from the air like a god? Has he ever stared at the stars on a clear forest night and just watched them sparkle like they were there just for us? Have you forgotten, Becky? Didn’t that night mean anything?)

“… Mawwage, that bwessed awaingement, that dweam wiffin a dweam…”

(Well, I hope this makes you happy. I hope you like your cookie-cutter ranch house with your two-point-seven children screaming dusk til dawn while you wait for Prince Charming to come home from a hard day of butt-kissing. Have a good life.)

“And wuv, tru wuv, will fowwow you foweva…”

I give it a year, Andrew Y. (via Mashable)

    And the hits just keep coming! I laughed just as hard at this as when it was posted the first time. The lines from Princess Bride just take it over the top. Poor bear, it really looks like he lost the love of his life.
