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

[memento]

aving reconnected after four years, Ennis and Jack decided to rearrange their lives so they could gear up for their "fishing trips" a couple of times a year.

[Fran]

e didn't ask if Ennis had a watch but took a cheap round ticker on a braided cord from a box on a high shelf, wound and set it, tossed it to him as if he weren't worth the reach.

[southendmd]

aving trumped Lashawn's Alpha Phi with her Tri Delt, Lureen was quite pleased with herself.

[memento]

aving received the news of Jack's death via postcard, Ennis phoned Lureen and listened to her unemotional account of the circumstances of his death.

[Fran]

aving just seen his friend knocked unconscious by Ennis's well-timed kick, Biker #2 wisely backed off.

Round 864!

We move along to the letter "I".

Each post will begin with a word
that starts with the letter "I" and,
as usual, include an unplayed word.

We're going to have one of Jack and Ennis's
Brokeback campfires assist us with this round,
so please be sure to include the following
symbol at the beginning of your post:

ntent on amusing Ennis, Jack performed his famous mock-rodeo mating dance.

[memento]

^{t was only minutes after Jack and Ennis reconnected before they engaged in some backstairs intimacy.}

[Fran]

^{"n a profound sense, because of the pressures of the time and place they live in, [Ennis and Jack] are lost whether together or apart, riven by the agonizing longing they feel, by the chances not taken and the choices just out of reach."}

-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times  

[southendmd]

nfluenced by his past, Ennis was destined to a life controlled by fear.
