The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[memento]

After ingesting Thanksgiving dinner, Ennis bit the hand that fed him.

[Fran]

Monroe, Alma, Ennis, and the girls feasted on one of the legions of turkeys slaughtered for the Thanksgiving holiday.

While Ennis told about his saddle bronc career, a milk-drinking Alma was seething.

[memento]

Monroe's electric carving knife was a novelty item that provided some comic relief.

[Fran]

Rectangular tableclothes covered Monroe and Alma's oval dining room table.

[southendmd]

Once she had him in the kitchen, Alma called Ennis on his years of prevarications concerning his fishing trips.

[memento]

Alma thought she had rested her case about Ennis and his "fishing trips"; Ennis just wanted her to give it a rest.

[Fran]

"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. Always said you caught plenty. So one time I got your creel case open the night before you went on one a your little trips -- price tag still on it after five years -- and I tied a note on the end of the line. It said, hello Ennis, bring some fish home, love, Alma. And then you come back and said you'd caught a bunch a browns and ate them up. Remember? I looked in the case when I got a chance and there was my note still tied there and that line hadn't touched water in its life." As though the word "water" had called out its domestic cousin she twisted the faucet, sluiced the plates.

[Meryl]

After dessert, Alma got Ennis in the kitchen, sluiced the plates and trotted out the old line so often used by ex-wives: "You ought to get married again."

After being tongue-lashed by Jack, LD unnervingly sat his ignorant ass down.
