"T" is travelled

In May of 1983 Ennis and Jack travelled around a series of little icebound, no-name high lakes out in the middle of nowhere.

"U" is unnerving

Jack finally got the nerve to express his feelings; however, his tirade was unnerving to Ennis.

"V" is voids

Meeting once in a while in the middle of nowhere helped to fill the voids in Jack and Ennis' lives.

"W" is wanderer
« Reply #13173 on: May 23, 2007, 09:09:00 am »
During their 1983 cold icebound days in the middle of nowhere, each wanderer was stressed:
  Jack had the usual complaints about the cold and having to sneak around out in the middle of nowhere.
  Ennis silently mulled the fact that their next trip would still be in the cold (November) out in the middle of nowhere.

"X" is xponential

By nixing Jack's idea about a little cow-and-calf operation, Ennis denies himself and Jack the opportunity for a future of xponential happiness with each other.

Round 498

Friends are great!
The friendships of Brokeback Mountain.

Some friendships endure, others don't.

"A" is amiably

After checking each other out in Aguirre's trailer, Jack and Ennis amiably shared a few beers in the bar that morning.  It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"B" is boisterously

In a rare father-son scene, Jack boisterously propelled a Versatile farm machine around the lot at Newsome Farm Equipment with his son Bobby sharing in the fun.

"C" is changing

Ennis showed that he was a friend by changing places with Jack on Brokeback.

"D" is druthers

If Jack had had his druthers, he would have been friendly with Ennis a lot more often.
