It was after Bobby made a pert reply to his mother that Jack took matters into his own hands and turned off the TV.

"S" is setting

Jack tried a Carl Perkins song, bawling "what I say-ay-ay," but he favored a sad hymn, "Water-Walking Jesus," learned from his mother who believed in the Pentecost, that he sang at dirge slowness, setting off distant coyote yips.

"T" is trickled

"I made three fuckin thousand dollars that year.  Fuckin starved."  said Jack, proving  that precious little money had trickled down to him from the well-to-do of the rodeo circuit.

Ennis found it unthinkable that two men could have a permanent life together.

Thank you. This should be fun - but no frantic pace.

"V" is veneered

It is clear that Jack and Ennis lived a thinly veneered heterosexual life this side of the mountains.

"W" is whaled

Enraged over the fact that his three- or four-year-old son had missed the toilet yet again, OMT whaled on him furiously and then did something even more unthinkable.

"X" is xtra-needy

Jack got into an xtra-needy state of mind when he realized that he had misunderstood Ennis's reasons for sending the card about the divorce.

"A" is antithetical
« Reply #16278 on: January 12, 2008, 02:59:10 pm »


avoring the idea of a life together with Jack was a lovely fantasy for Ennis, but he believed it antithetical to what was possible in real life.

=special wishes=Sandy
Hope you have a Mementous birthday today!  :-*
