Title: 123's of BBM game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 02, 2006, 10:43:21 pm
Hey everyone,

Here's a new game to play that takes its cue from both the ABCs game started by Will-U and our own BBM quiz game started by Ellemeno. There are dozens and dozens of lines in either the movie or the story that mention or show numbers. Lets see if we can name them all!

The rules:

1) Some one throws out a number that appears in the book or story. In most cases it will be a spoken line of dialogue. But in a few cases it may be a visual, rather than spoken, number (like a number on a postcard, for example).

2) Another person must quote the line (if it's heard) or describe the scene (if it's a visual) that shows that number.

3) That person must then put out a different number to keep the game going. Take turns so you are not the only one answering all the questions!
NOTE: If you think someone's answer is incorrect, quote their answer and explain, but you also need to answer the number being currently asked about, and put out a new number.

NOTE: Acceptable variants of numbers include things like once, twice, first, second, third, etc.

ALSO dates can be numbers. The month, date, and year count for their own separate numbers. So, if January 13th, 1982 were part of the story/movie, you could use January for 1, 13th for 13, and 1982 also could be a number to ask about. If the year is written or spoken like two digits, for example '99 for 1999, that would count as "99" officially.

SOME lines/visuals include two or more numbers, so they can be used multiple times, one time for each of the numbers.

FINALLY, don't forget fractions, numbers with decimals, and percentages!!


If possible, try to go in order of numbers ( a 1, then a 2, then a 3, etc). There are a lot of numbers in the first 10 (including some numbers smaller than 1!), so it is fine to come back with a new round and start over again with the ones we missed. Or, if you want to you can stay on a certain number for a while and see how many people can come up with.

But let's not get too fussy about the order, especially with fractions and percentages. if the order thing seems way too hard, forget it and just throw out numbers. I'll throw out ones if no-one else is...but I am working some in the tee shop tonight, so you may have to PM me to get me over there!

Remember, some things are in the book, but not the movie, and vice versa. By my count there are over 60 mentions of numbers, so we should be good for a while.

Me and Surf and Amy played a version of this game when we went drinking the other night. Hopefully they won't hog the game!!

So, to start us off, I'll put out one in word form:

#: Half

Oh yeah, your're right, sorry Mandy! You picked such a hard one! It's a visual am I right?

I'm thinking we should start off easy.

Post by: newyearsday on April 03, 2006, 12:32:36 am
For the record, yes, there are at least  SIX (edit: make that EIGHT) other 2's in the book/movie!!  

And at least seven 1's  also.


and yes, there is another 17. it's kind of early on....

I'm a goin a bed! see if you can guess the million one! It's a good one! give em' a hint if they need it Spooky.

Jenny

PS: Actually Mandy, I think Ennis says "If I was lucky that harmonica woulda broke too" not in two

I thought of another two. Should I say it?

I heard "in two" for the harmonica... not positive though

still not sure about the million or 17

Another two: "...Custody of the two minor children"

Jenny: in the screenplay it says "broke in two" but maybe you're right, maybe in the movie he actually says "too". *shrugs*

Post by: dmmb_Mandy on April 03, 2006, 12:43:14 am
"Hell, it's the most I've spoken in the last two years" - has anybody said that "two" yet?


[edit:] Sh*it, yeah that's what I mean, when Jack says "two weeks"

And Mandy, about the 17, I don't think that's what he says. I think he says: "Me and my brother got work on a ranch up near Worland until I was nineteen. He got married last month. no room for me. That's how come me to end up here..."

LOL yeah I think you are right about the 17 Mandy, I knew that was wrong, but i also knew he said some number there.... this is going to drive me insane until I get it. Have I ever told you guys that I get slightly obsessive about games like this?? LOL that's why i spent so much time on the subtitles thread...

Hey shirts, is 129 on the ELKS building when Ennis is driving up to the Riverton apartment? Or is that 124? It seems like people can't agree on that....
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 03, 2006, 01:24:11 am
Okay so I am still up!!! bad news....guess there's nothin I can do about it...

So, Mandy (or Courtney?) I keep seeing other two's you guys are mentioning!! It's amazing. I don't know about 10 more than we've already mentioned, but there are a lot of them. When we're done I'll have to make a record of it all in order.

That "17 and 2" is a very good one!!!

Quote
is the 17 "then my brother got married when i was 17 and that's how come you end up here"... that could be really really wrong...

that 17 I was thinking of is really close to what LG Mandy said...I think it's something like "When I was 17 my sis met a rough neck, moved to Casper, so me an my brother got ourselves some work on a ranch, till I was 19, and then he got married, so...no more room for me...."

It is 129 for the Elks building...

 (and good one on the half the night lookin for coyotes, Courtney! I didn't catch that one, but there's one more half, for later)

So, here's my last one! for the night!

it's a bit hard....10

Post by: dmmb_Mandy on April 03, 2006, 01:38:12 am
Jenny, I meant that there were 10 more at the time that you said there were 8 more, not 10 more NOW after all the two's that have been said! lol, sorry, I'm tired and being confusing!

Anyway, I really don't think he says 17 there, I think he just says: "My sis left, married a roughneck, moved to Casper. Me and my brother went and got ourselves some work on a ranch up near Worland until I was 19.."

*still pondering the 10*

And the 10, isn't it a 10 dollar bill that Jack puts on the bar after talking to the Rodeo Clown?

Getting back to the twos for a second, there is a 2 on the door of the apartment above the laundry, and I think Jack's address on the "Deceased" postcard is R.F.D. 2.

Hey, wow, you guys are havin' some fun, huh!!! Holy hell (as mancityjinx used to say) there are a ton a twos in this thing!!

I'm gonna post all the ones we have already used for TWO later on tonight when I get home. Sheesh. Waaaay more than I thought.

1.49, huh? with a red dot emphasizing the "point." I bet it's something that the rodeo announcer says, but that would be a quick ride! It's either that or something that comes over the radio when Ennis is about to leave.

Or hey, is it what Lureen is saying to herself as she is doing the adding machine before Jack leaves in the "Honey, have you seen my blue parka?" scene???

Give us a hint!!!

Hehe, Meryl, there are a few fours, I believe!

Most obvious: Jack: "Damn.4 years." Ennis repeats "4 years. Didn't think I'd hear from you..."
& Jack again: "ever' 4 fuckin' years?!"

ANd, Announcer: "A fine ride for Mr. Twist. 4 seconds for him."

Anyone know any mour fours?

Post by: newyearsday on April 04, 2006, 12:24:22 am
Hey 2 bloody shirts, (what's your name by the way?)

I think we were on the "thirties" one but no one knows it (including me). We are sort of on 4, but those two that Courtney posted a while ago were done a while back already. As was the "I'm commutin' four hours a day!" and "4 seconds, a fine ride by Mr. Twist."

So here is another 4: "4  of Ennis' stone biscuits" (that Jack ate at camp)

and now I'll throw a new one out: 8 (Hint: it's not the "8 seconds, that sure looked like the winning ride to me, folks" and it's not "I got a boy. 8 months old. Smiles a lot." Thems already been done.)

but I gotta go to bed! so good luck and I'll check in tomorrow. Sorry I didn't post all the twos yet. There are still a bunch of them left!!

Oh, my name is Grace.  It's in my signature.

For the 8, I will cheat a little...I think.  When Jack is dancing with LaShawn there is a banner that reads, "1978 Benefit Dinner".

Okay, my suggestion is 0.

Three 3's:

Aguirre: "Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woolies"

Ennis (to Alma): "If I had 3 hands I could."

& Lureen: "Still don't seem fair, you drvin' 2 or 3 times a year..."

by the way, another 14 not mentioned earlier: Jack: "Gotta go, got 14 hours of drvin' ahead of me."

How about 25, has it been done yet?

Well, in 1962, Aguirre claimed he had near 25% loss of sheep on Brokeback Mtn. That would mean 250 sheep! I think he was exagerating--notice how he looked accusingly at Jack at that point.

Yeah Mandy, don't take all the best answers!

 I have an idea: when there's multiple answers for a certain number, you have to have a specific instance in mind, and give some little tiny hint, like, is it said outdoors or indoors? early side of the movie or later side? said by a male character or a female? etc. Just one hint.

And people can only have one guess before it's the next person's turn to guess, unless there are only two people playing, in which case it can go back and forth.


So, here, let's try it with a double three  I'm thinking of:

Each is said in back to back scenes in the movie, on the later side.

GO!

Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 05, 2006, 12:26:06 am
I mean one "three" in each scene. They are back-to-back scenes though, set maybe 2/3 of the way through the movie. The back-to-back scenes are very different, but have something pretty big in common between them, too.

That's enough hintin'!

Okay,

Next number: 1 (and there are a lot of em, so here's a hint: Jack. early)

Arg, sorry Jenny, my bf is friggin' with our wireless router and I lost my internet connection there for a min., lol. BTW, I PMed you.

There are so many 1's. I'll just give one as to not hog the game  :)

Next number Lee? If it's a one or a # with a lot of examples, give us a TINY hint, as I suggested above in the new rule. That way you get to think of a specific one and we have to guess it.

Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!

Okay, here's a number: 4s
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 05, 2006, 05:55:05 pm
well, I think we've covered the obvious ones...like "4 years." and  "yeah, four years" and,
"every four fuckin' years?" and "I'm commutin four hours a day!" and "4 seconds, a fine ride, by Mr. Twist." and even, "4 of Ennis' stone biscuits" from the story (that Jack eats).


Is there another one you are thinking of that you can thow out a small wee hint about--like said indoors vs out, male or female utterance, etc?

I will be out for the next three hours (wahhh!!)

so you may have to rustle up some other players! Good luck!

What comes in fours? Well, seasons jumps to mind...so do wheels on a car or truck. And table legs usually...

Not an utterance. I'll have to check the story when I get home! We need to get this game picked up again by Mandy B and others!

Oooh, I think I know:

from the story: "Ennis jerked his hand away as though he'd touched fire, got to his knees, unbuckled his belt, shoved his pants down, hauled Jack onto all fours..."

Is that right, Front?

Alright, find for me double 10's (close to eachother) (hint: in the short story)
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: Ellemeno on April 06, 2006, 07:35:52 pm
Two 10s in one sentence!

Joe Aguirre had watched them through  his 10x42 binoculars for ten minutes one day

I'll be right back with a question for you - though I'm still hopin someone will come up with "thirties".  It's in the movie on the radio.
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: Ellemeno on April 06, 2006, 07:38:10 pm
Okay, there's another half in the short story, before they even go up the mountain.  I don't think it's been done.
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: dmmb_Mandy on April 06, 2006, 08:03:13 pm
*still can't think of the thirties*

Is this the half you're talking about: "...showed Ennis how to pack the mules, two packs and a riding load on each animal ring-lashed with double diamonds and secured with half hitches..."

How about: a thousand (from the short story, not the movie, early on)
Title: Re: the 123's of BBM--a new game!
Post by: Ellemeno on April 06, 2006, 08:07:24 pm
Yes, that's the one.  Is this yours?  I've loved this line -

a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water

Next: none, from the short story, in reference to one of the boys' children.

How about: third (in the second half of the short story)

Post by: Ellemeno on April 06, 2006, 08:18:22 pm
On the third morning there were the clouds Ennis had expected

Next: Very, very close to that, a sentence that has two different numbers in it.

Post by: dmmb_Mandy on April 06, 2006, 08:26:46 pm
"Good enough place," looking at the level bench above the river, two or three fire-rings from old hunting camps...

Elle, hmmm, well do you mean: "Ennis put his arm around Jack, pulled him close, said he saw his girls about once a month, Alma Jr. a shy 17 year old with his beanpole length..."?

Well, I may as well confess that that was my two number example that I was talking about in my last post. But, I actually meant the 17 and then the 15 in the next sentence: "he was worried about his boy who was, no doubt about it, dyslexic or something, couldn't get anything right, 15 years old..."

Anyway, I may as well come up with a new one for ya, how about: 12 (in the short story)

But you know what, that still wasn't the two numbers in one sentence I had in mind!  Jack says it, on one of their fishin trips.  And when he does, it's hot!

Mandy, you are comin up with more than I ever realized were there!  But that isn't very hot when he says it.  It's unhot and sad.  The one I'm thinking of is probably the hottest thing Jack says in the story.  Or one of.

Hi everyone! Wow, I went away like, two days ago from this game and now I come back and find all your great posts! I feel like my little baby is all grown up and out there on her own...I wish so much I could be there to watch her take each new step (and play a little with her/you all) but it's so cool to see it's kept on going without anything from me.

I can't think of the .99 cents one....It must be a visual? Give us a little hint, sparkle!

And as for the elusive "thirties" I am guessing it has to be mentioned in the scene where Lureen and Jack are about to make out--where the car is being driven and stopped, and the radio is still on. But I gotta check the DVD today to find out. (I'm scared to put on my DVD like that--for reference purposes only! It truely feels like something sacreligious, so maybe I'll let someone else do the honors.) There's a slew of other numbers we haven't touched on yet in the book.

Nyope.  But it is on a vehicle radio.  More hint - the radio announcer is talking about how the temperature's going to go down into the thirties tomorrow.  And it's right after the future got very sad and cold.

Do we hear the radio when Ennis is driving to Lightening Flat? I don't think so, but isn't that the only vehicle from post-divorce to the end? (Besides Junior's car, but that's playing music.)

Hmm. It's not in the diner scene is it?

Gah, can't remember!

Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 13, 2006, 12:20:51 am
I think we've already covered 17--there's the mailbox numbers, and the "17 and 2" which is the time yelled out for the woman who rides just after Lureen in the rodeo..then in the story there is the sentence where Ennis describes Alma Jr being a shy 17-year-old, when they are talking at the last camping trip.

So is it one of those? If so, I'll get us started on another number: Actually it's a combo: find and name where this series of numbers are in the book, spread over two paragraphs back to back--2, 2, 4, 4.
Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!
Post by: cmr107 on April 13, 2006, 01:17:34 am
Jack...drank his two bottles of beer...ate two bowls of stew, four of Ennis's stone biscuits...(next paragraph) "I'm commutin four hours a day"

Good one Jenny!

Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!

Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 14, 2006, 08:46:42 pm
"Shot a coyote just first light....I bet he'd took a few lambs."

and

"...Ennis had a good raspy voice; a few nights they mangled their way through some songs."

and

"Jack said he'd had a thing going with the wife of a rancher down the road in Childress and for the last few months he'd slank around expecting to get shot by Lureen or the husband..."

and the last one I'll do, though there may be more...

"He stepped back and looked at the ensemble through a few stinging tears."

So, next question (getting harder now...): find the place in the story where this set of numbers appear in one paragraph: 8, 10, 4, 2, 2.
Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!
Post by: Ellemeno on April 15, 2006, 01:23:06 am
Excellando, Jenny!  I found your paragraph -

The road to Lightning Flat went through desolate country past a dozen abandoned  ranches distributed over the plain at eight- and ten-mile intervals, houses sitting  blank-eyed in the weeds, corral fences down. The mailbox read John C. Twist. The  ranch was a meagre little place, leafy spurge taking over. The stock was too far distant  for him to see their condition, only that they were black baldies. A porch stretched  across the front of the tiny brown stucco house, four rooms, two down, two up.    

Are we almost out of numbers?  What's next - letters?  LOL.  Colors?  Verbs?  Emotions?  Some kind of MadLibs?  Did you ever play that?  That might be cute.
Title: Re: 123's of BBM -- a new game!
Post by: newyearsday on April 15, 2006, 03:05:24 pm
No we are NOT out of numbers yet! There are a LOT of twos left. A LOT. Especially in the story. Also I think a five is left, and maybe a 12, and some numbers up in the 60s--90s, maybe more. What I ought to do is go back through the thread and list all the twos that we have done already, so we can know for sure what has been done.

But till that is completed here is the next assignment in this S L O W moving but still fun (to me) game:

Name at least 6 instances that variant of the number 1 comes up in the lake scene, book and/or movie.

Wow! Very good Ellemeno for getting the last three ones I had in mind, and Julie, a big standing ovation for getting an eighth one out of that scene!!! You deserve a prize.

So, there's a missing thirty huh? And it's not the one from the radio where it's talking about the temp getting into the thirties, which Ellemeno stumped us with? *Jenny rubs her chin, looks up, frowns a little* ......

I am going to take a wild guess that it's something we see, like a number on a door, or a highway sign....any hints appreciated,

and DeeDee, I have no idea about your seven! Agh! There are so many numbers we haven't yet done! Which I love! It's kinda cool to have a slow moving game that way, since we aren't missing too much if we don't play for a while. Let's see how long we can stretch it out.
