"P" is plucked

“It begins so simply.  A plucked guitar string.  A mountain range.  Forests.  Clouds dotting an enormous sky, blue as the ocean.  Birds.  Wind.  And then: a wordless exchange of glances between two cowhands.” 
-- Gabriel Shanks, Mixed Reviews    [review]

Although Brokeback Mountain was produced in the present Quaternary Period, according to the Geologic Timetable, the mountains it was filmed in were created in the Cretaceous Period.

Ennis looked up to see a tiny Jack on his horse riding along the rocky ridge of the mountain.

Alma started talking turkey at Thanksgiving dinner when she brought up Ennis' "fishing trips" and Jack Nasty.

The xigencies of the boys' rural life required hard work and privation.

Wonder bread makes me think of Toast...
Although, he is much more substantial.
