"L" is liquoring-up
« Reply #14040 on: July 14, 2007, 02:50:22 pm »
After the night in the tent, Jack and Ennis did not seem to need the liquoring-up stage before becoming involved with each other:

They never talked about the sex, let it happen, at first only in the tent at night, then in the full daylight with the hot sun striking down, and at evening in the fire glow, quick, rough, laughing and snorting, no lack of noises, but saying not a goddamn word except once Ennis said, "I'm not no queer," and Jack jumped in with "Me neither. A one-shot thing. Nobody's business but ours."     [Proulx]

=reply= Paul
Mmmm.
Old Ennis Owen Whiskey from 1918 and millenial bubbles.
Cool!!

Like old whiskey, Jack and Ennis mellowed a bit with age.

"N" is nip

After drinking some whiskey, Jack brought up the idea of a sweet life together which Ennis tried to nip in the bud.

"O" is obfuscation
« Reply #14043 on: July 15, 2007, 01:27:19 am »
Way too much whiskey plus sleepiness contributed to the obfuscation of Ennis's speech, making "What are you doing?" come out more like "Wuhrr yudoon?"

"P" is Proulx's
« Reply #14044 on: July 15, 2007, 07:08:55 am »
In Proulx's prose, whiskey figures prominently:
  • and the way they bloated, the need for plenty of whiskey up there.
  • fried potatoes and a quart of whiskey on shares,
  • bought a bottle of whiskey and within twenty minutes were in the Motel Siesta jouncing a bed.
  • The room stank of semen and smoke and sweat and whiskey,
  • Jack broke the seal on a bottle of whiskey, took a long, hot swallow, exhaled forcefully, said, "That's one a the two things I need right now,"
  • " ... where the bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring."
  • " ... Drink whiskey up there. He drank a lot."

"S" is soused

Getting soused help Ennis and Jack forget about their spouses.

"T" is temperamental

Ennis' actions concerning his relationship with Jack indicated he was a bit temperamental about the situation.

"U" is unbarred
« Reply #14048 on: July 15, 2007, 11:16:18 am »
Ennis's inhibitions and fears became unbarred by alcohol, and he succumbed to his deeper desires.

"V" is vertiginously
« Reply #14049 on: July 15, 2007, 11:29:03 am »
Cold and drunk, Ennis vertiginously loped toward Jack's tent where he may well have lost his virginity.
