We see two fake looking snowmen in the honeymoon tobogganing scene.

I am from Canada and I know a damn fake snowman when I see it.

John Twist's attitude toward everyone and everything was tacky.   :D
I just want to celebrate another day of living.

"Z" is zeugmatic
« Reply #2177 on: May 22, 2006, 04:34:43 pm »
Annie Proulx used a zeugmatic construction--one adjective modifying two nouns, when she wrote, "...when Jack, in their contortionistic grappling and wrestling, had slammed Ennis's nose hard with his knee."

=compliment= Front-Ranger

"A" is academic

Ennis' academic career died with the transmission of his pickup, before he could become a sophomore.
