"A day or two later in the trailhead parking lot, horses loaded into the trailer, Ennis was ready to head back to Signal, Jack up to Lightning Flat to see the old man."  [story]

Riveting is the scene where Del Mar heaves up his loss and his plight, spurning the assistance of a startled passerby.     Quiet mastery .. JWR.

Tammy's song "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" is playing on the juke box in one of Cassie's scenes.  That's Miss Wynette, of course.

Jack and Ennis met rather unspectacularly while seeking work with Farm and Ranch Employment.

"V" is vegetable

The vegetable of choice on Brokeback Mountain seems to have been the potato.   Carefully peeled and fried spuds was one recipe.

Rufus Wainwright's moving song "The Maker Makes" closes the final minutes of the credits of the film.

One more post I make,
To hit the one thousand mark,
One more thanks to the Modz I make,
For keeping the ABCz spark.

Get along, little stogies...

Congrats King of the Road - Paul

Congrats Paul


King of the Road

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...bangor, maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found 
Short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means by no means
King of the road.
[Only from Stockbridge to Boston]

"X" is xamined

While waiting outside Aguirre's office, Jack xamined Ennis in his side-view mirror. 

=aside=
If he didn't like what he saw, he would have needed to have his head xamined, and I know the perfect person, who just hit 1000 posts, for the job.

"Y" is Yellowstone's

Ennis was born in the south-west corner of Wyoming.
Jack was born in the north-east corner of the same state.
They met up, near the center of the state; but many of their travels take place around Yellowstone National Park - in the north-west corner - both inside and outside Yellowstone's boundaries.

"When Crash upset Brokeback Mountain at the Academy Awards, the media and entertainment blog Gawker added fuel to the anti-Crash fire by claiming, 'Google Can't Hide Its Oscar Disappointment.'  They point out that searching with Google for 'i'm really glad crash won' prompts the question 'Did you mean: "i'm really glad trash won"?'  At first this might seem like a case of Googlebombing, where a group of people (say, in this case, bitter Brokeback fans) try to skew Google's search returns by linking to pages with particular keywords.  But Googlebombing only affects the ranking of pages, not the search engine's 'Did you mean...' suggestions."
