Things that aren't directly connected to BBM and yet are somehow Brokieish
Ellemeno:
This is a great thread.
serious crayons:
Today, my son and I went to pick up a friend of his in an unfamiliar part of the city -- a wealthy neighborhood featuring a small lake surrounded by huge, stately old houses. As we drove, my son and I pointed out which of these houses we particularly liked or disliked. My son's favorite was this especially spectacular contemporary house with lots of glass. After we picked up his friend, my son asked his friend if he knew who lived in that house. I was kind of surprised that my son even asked that question, because why would the kid know that?
But he did.
"Yeah, it's the producer of Brokeback Mountain," the kid said.
It must belong to William Pohlad, president of River Road Entertainment (and son of the late owner of the Twins baseball team).
So from now on, that part of my city will always be Brokieish to me.

Cool story K!
OK, here's mine for tonight (I know that to some this may seem controversial).... James Dean. Several months ago, I bought the complete box set of James Dean movies (consisting of all 3 movies Dean made) only because of BBM. I was going through my DVDs earlier tonight and stumbled across the set... and thought of this thread.
Ellemeno:
Have I already said The New Yorker? Yes, the short story was originally published there, so of course that would make it supremely Brokieish, of course, but for me, even more because I now think of jmmgallagher and Front-Ranger and Jeff Wrangler when I think about the New Yorker.
