[southendmd]

After vanquishing the elk, Jack and Ennis satisfy their hunger in the great outdoors, where it's appropriate to wear a hat while dining.

Like two wolves, Jack and Ennis satisfy their hunger in the great outdoors, where it's appropriate to wear a hat while dining.

Jack and Ennis enjoyed an xtra-satisfying elk dinner in the great outdoors, where it's appropriate to wear a hat while dining.

Round 627!

Our New Year Round.

 

Let's have our replies contain the word "new" or "knew".

The summer went on and they moved the herd to new pasture, shifted the camp; the distance between the sheep and the new camp was greater and the night ride longer.

Ennis knew the salty words to "Strawberry Roan."

Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top-grade headache, and Jack butted against him; without saying anything about it both knew how it would go for the rest of the summer, sheep be damned.

Even when the numbers were right Ennis knew the sheep were mixed.

He stopped at the side of the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up.

"Swear to god I didn't know we was goin a get into this again -- yeah, I did. Why I'm here. I fuckin knew it."

"You know," she said, and from her tone he knew something was coming, "I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home."

"I wish I knew how to quit you."

But before he was out of the truck, trying to guess if it was heart attack or the overflow of an incendiary rage, Ennis was back on his feet and somehow, as a coat hanger is straightened to open a locked car and then bent again to its original shape, they torqued things almost to where they had been, for what they'd said was no news.

"I feel awful bad about Jack. Can't begin to say how bad I feel. I knew him a long time."

So now he knew it had been the tire iron.

The window looked down on the gravel road stretching south and it occurred to him that for his growing-up years that was the only road Jack knew.

There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Happy 2008!
May the New Year exceed our expectations.

Ennis tried to attune himself to harmonizing with his new cowboyfriend by showing he knew the salty words to "Strawberry Roan".

[Toast]

Ennis knew his trailer and its contents offered him the barest possible existence, but "Yeah, well, you got nothin', you don't need nothin'."

[Fran]

Ennis knew the salty words to the musical composition "Strawberry Roan."

[southendmd]

Jack dared to tell Ennis the truth at the Motel Siesta: "Swear to god I didn't know we was goin a get into this again -- yeah, I did. Why I'm here. I fuckin' knew it."

[Toast]

Jack and Ennis knew it would be up to each ewe to protect her new lambs while they only had eyes for each other:

Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top-grade headache, and Jack butted against him; without saying anything about it both knew how it would go for the rest of the summer, sheep be damned.

For her wedding, Alma had a new frock from J. C. Penney, and her face shone like a new penny, too.
