Telling of the Dangers, Numbering the Hardships
Yes, friends, it's time, once again, for me to be silly. And this particular brand of silliness is brought to you by the letter "L", and by the number "13." In case you haven't guessed by now, I was watching "Labyrinth" (yeah, I know - big shocker) on the night of June 27, 2000 (that's the 14th anniversary of the theatrical premier, for the uninitiated), when I was stuck with inspiration (ouch!). Sarah was performing her "Through dangers untold . . . etc." speech for me for about the millionth time when I got to thinking - *You know, this little twit had an amazing amount of luck to get through the Labyrinth unscathed. There are sooo many things that could have gone horribly, horribly wrong for her that would have resulted in a (sadly) shorter (but, perhaps, oddly satisfying) movie.*
And that, dear friends, is how I came to Number the Hardships.
Now, before we go any further, friends, I must issue a serious warning (Me? Serious? Uh . . . yeah). If you have never before seen the movie "Labyrinth," and are just surfing around, I beg you, please do not start your Labyrinthine education here! I adore this movie, I really do - but my twisted sense of humor does not always display it in the best light. Everything contained herein must be taken with a grain of salt . . . or, sometimes with all the salt in the ocean. So, if you are a newbie, or even a long-time Labyrinthian who cannot stand to see so beautiful a piece of cinematography taken lightly, I urge you to move along. Come back and see me when you're ready for something deranged.
That having been said . . .
Let the Games Begin!
