You know how sometimes you don't understand the lyrics to songs and you just kind of make up something that's fits? Curtis is notorious for doing this. When we got married he actually thought the title of "Caribbean Queen" by Billy Ocean was "Baraview Queen". There's no such place as "Baraview" that I know of. Another song he had all wrong was "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong". The first time I heard him sing along with it he sang "Hey, little miss, little miss, little miss Tenderoni".
?
I can't even understand the thought process that led him to that conclusion. These two songs are by no means all-inclusive. I could go on and on, regaling you with silly, non-sensical lyrics.
Anyhow, I digress. Back to the subject at hand.
The kids got the movie "The Princess Bride" from Santa. Last night we all sat down to watch it. After listening to "Fezzik" (Andre the Giant) and his basso voce that only dogs could understand, we decided to turn on the captions so that we could understand what he was saying. Later in the movie when Buttercup realizes who the Dread Pirate Roberts is, she calls him by the name of her long-lost beloved. She calls him "Westley".
Westley with a "T" in the middle. Here I have gone my entire life (almost) thinking that his name was simply "Wesley". No "T". Am I the only person with this huge misconception? Am I now in the ranks of *gasp* Curtis, who makes up the craziest substitutions? Am I going to start changing lyrics and words willy-nilly?
Heaven help me, what is this world coming to?

We too got the Princess Bride and I also put the closed caption on. I have always thought that his name was Wesley. Who knew that it was Westley. I told Clint that we should have named our Wesley Westley. He didn't like that.
No, I never knew that either! Although I don't mind the T though, it's kind of nice. Sadly, I am not familiar with the songs Curtis misquoted, so I am not able to join in the chuckling at his expense...
I can't believe how old I am that I know those songs and you do not!
