"X" is xists

The old man kicks at the tractor tire a time or two, as if irritated it xists. Looks at Ennis.
   Old man:  Where was you raised, bud?
   Ennis:  Ur, Sage    [screenplay]

Round 168!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« Reply #4643 on: July 08, 2006, 02:05:51 am »

A Limerick in Honor of Round 168 of the ABCs of BBM:

Our BBM knowledge we demonstrate
As more and more words we accumulate,
It only gets better
As we add each letter,
So let's red-line it through One-Sixty-Eight!

A...B...C...D...E...F...G...H...I...J...K...L...M...N...O...P...Q...R...S...T...U...V...W...X...Y...Z...

"A" is affecting
« Reply #4644 on: July 08, 2006, 07:01:58 am »
 “Ennis’s and Jack’s acute emotions — yearning, loneliness, disappointment, loss, love and, yes, lust — are affecting because they are universal.”  [Frank Rich - The New York Times]

Oops, Robert didn't write limericks, though.

"B" is barren
« Reply #4645 on: July 08, 2006, 07:42:11 am »
The OLD MAN points to a long, barren mountain to the north, its upper reaches miles away, reaching well above the tree line.
 From the screenplay - man pointing out Brokeback to Ennis.

"C" is code

Larry McMurtry, who wrote the screenplay for BBM with Diana Ossana, defied the dress code at the 78th Academy Awards by wearing his usual jeans and cowboy boots.

"D" is dungarees
« Reply #4647 on: July 08, 2006, 08:35:44 am »
Ennis and Jack wore dungarees throughout the entire move and so did Larry McMurty at the Academy Awards.

=comment=
Jeans were called dungarees in the Sixties, at least where I grew up.

Love the limerick.

"E" is elemental
« Reply #4648 on: July 08, 2006, 08:42:33 am »
Jack would cast furtive looks at Ennis and his face revealed a love and longing for him of the most elemental kind–without guile or artifice–but childlike and innocent.

"F" is feeling

"He stopped at the side of the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up.  He felt about as bad as he ever had, and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off."   [short story]
