Thanks for the moviethread lightheartedness!
"The Random Elves of Chocolate Land" (apogees to Doug)
The elves of Pixietex were transported to the Land of Chocolate by way of a freak website accident when each of them simultaneously pushed "post my reply" on a reply containing the word "chocolate".
The speed of light was brought into play by this seemingly random act (photons being notoriously mischievous and slippery fellows), when the resulting combination of 1s and 0s dialed the unpublished cell phone number of the local deity. Always a fan of any joke with the punchline "chaos", it created The Land of Chocolate in the twinkling of its eye.

Glad to see everyone's enjoying my fun thread! Also good to note that all of you have such good taste in movies. Lots of mention of the Princess Bride -- I love that movie! Also the book. It's on my short list too. Anyways, now I must make a spontaneous trip to the movie store.
