Lovecraft Historical Society, natch).  The links above it were provided by Tim CushingScott GreenfieldBrooke MagnantiPopehatMistress Matisse, and Jesse Walker.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Two days before the last Links column posted, author and screenwriter William Goldman, best known for The Princess Bride and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid passed away.  But I wasn’t about to elbow that news into the same column as Stan Lee’s obituary; losing two master storytellers in one week was already bad enough without cheating one of them of his proper respect.  The links above the video (which I think you’ll agree is an appropriate choice) were provided by Mike SiegelPhoenix CalidaFranklin HarrisThaddeus RussellDavid Ley, and Kevin Wilson, in that order.
