Stuart: We should get a hamster and call it Atreyu.
Krissa: and name its wheel Artax?
Stuart: Maybe.
Stuart: Then get a wire-haired terrier and call it Falkor.
Stuart: We could tape Atreyu to its back
Stuart: to give him rides.
Krissa: you are SUCH a strange person.
Krissa: and i am so blessed to be married to you.
Stuart: You know…the easy-off tape.
Stuart: Otherwise it’d be wrong.
Yeah. The tape is what’s wrong with this picture.

Bless you for having conversations like this. Now it doesn’t seem so weird that my husband and I sometimes act out parts of that movie.
“All that is left of my vast empire …”
Please do this! A hamster named Atreyu would cure the world of its ills.
(We like to squeal at each other “Bastian! Pleeeeease! Say my name!”)
I should point out that the ‘hamster named Atreyu’ thought wasn’t entirely original.

Actually I’m loving this idea.
if you do this i’ll name my kid Bastian Balthazar Bux.
Oh, I got one better:
My friend and her boyfriend bonded over Never Ending Story when they met. The movie has very special meaning to them.
So they just had a baby late last year… and named him Atreyu.
try this:
sing the chorus of that movie out-loud and see how many days it loops in your head before dissipating.
I *know* that you did NOT just have this conversation and neglect to mention it to ME, your FRIEND who just so HAPPENS to have a TATTOO of the AURYN on his ARM which is PERMANENT and ETERNAL and will TALK about this movie at ANY opportunity from HERE until the very end of TIME. Because THAT, Krissa. THAT. Would be a CRIME.
HAHAHAHHA Biscuit, you missed the point in the conversation beforehand where Stuart couldn’t remember the Luckdragon’s name and I told him never to tell you that had happened because you’d have him summarily executed for high treason.
I’m a dead man.
