Happy Birthday to all my fellow Tremblayans. Anyone remember "the moonie" thread? (I started that one.) Cowboy etiquette? What a year it has been...

What a year it's been! Full of fun, heartache and love. I'm still not over the great caring that went into inviting us here (thanks Phillip!), the strong emotions we all felt when we finally exited our old embattled home and arrived safe and bedraggled in spirit here. So glad to still be here and glad you are, too!
Yes, I will finally donate, once a check I just got clears.
A big :-* to everyone!!! We are home.

I don't know why y'all stuck it out so long over on PT, nearly the whole month a March when it was getting weirder and weirder. I joined BetterMost March 8 and divided my time but it sure felt great when we all came in from the cold and received Phillip and John's shelter from the storm. Remember how we crashed the little intimate party they were having with our loud and chatty behavior, our 24/7 swooning, our exhortations of Heath! Heath! Jake! Jake! like a big flock of Canadian geese descending en masse on a quiet pond way out in the middle of nowhere. Everybody has always been very accommodating and joining in till the paint brands were all wore off and we ceased to Tremblay and even forgot how those wily coyote trolls could cause such a fuss! So it's a very good thing to pause and celebrate and dust off the ol treasure cache, turn towards Wyoming and recite a solemn yee-haw three times!

Lee said it so well!!

bottoms up ! - oops!

Quick, folks! What's the longest running thread on this page?? I can't wait for your guesses! It's
Brokeback Through the Looking Glass (The Malaysian Subtitles Thread) (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,478.0.html)
by our own Sheyne of Australia, one of the original Tremblayans!! Sheyne used to be known as hungry_hungry_hippos (a reference to Donnie Darko).
Yea, Sheyne!! You have achieved Internet immortality!! Now, can you guess the second longest running thread on this page? No fair peeking!

Personal note:

Leslie: I've never heard of the moonie thread, but I remember the cowboy etiquette :laugh:
The moonie thread was one I started (on IMDb). I figured out all the dates of the full moons and other celestial sightings in the spring and summer of 1963. There were lots of good responses and discussion. I managed to save a fragment of it in the troll wars but it is on another computer which I don't turn on daily, so I don't have it immediately at my fingertips.
cowboy etiquette, John's first post:
Doffed hats should be worn on the knee away from the fire.
Sauteed elk should be served well salted. Who knew?

I went into the archives and found this, my very very first post here at Bettermost:
Glad you saved this--the original messages have gone off our original board.
I am hoping this site works...we really need a new home. I don't feel safe at IMDb anymore. A post of Courtney's got deleted a little while ago.

No day like March 30, 2006 will ever be forgotten by me. I remember it incredibly well, watching a site explode with activity that afternoon as the CT ship arrived. For those who were the earliest, you'll remember CT started as one of those "child boards" with the tiny print and it was attached to another forum here. But within the first hour or so, it broke out into its own forum. Of course, the biggest challenge we had was just getting CT folks to step foot out of their own forum and explore the rest of the site! CT was a California freeway compared to the backroads on the rest of the site!
I also remember very well the extreme concern that the trolls would follow CT folks over here, but after a joint effort by all the great people on this site, we stomped any attempts literally minutes after they arrived. And I'll never forget the pleasure I had in tracking down one troll right down to his dorm room, and filed a complaint with the college in Binghamton. That sent a message.
I was a CT member on IMDb, but not the most prolific poster because I was trying to build BetterMost at the time. But I'll never forget the CT refuge from the wild rapids that was the IMDb Brokeback Mountain Forum. It was almost impossible to keep up with anything in there.
One bittersweet thing I am now noticing is some nostalgia for the older days (yeah, a year ago is the older days) when everything was all-Brokeback, all the time. A lot of the passion from the obsession has now become acceptance and me wondering if it's okay that I am not as obsessed with the film as I was last year at this time. It's amazing how the passion seems to be coming and going in waves right now.
Year two will be, for me, an exploration of new things that have radiated out from Brokeback which I didn't have time to contemplate too much last year, but now can use this year to keep the passion alive. I find I want to know more and more about the mountain west, what life is like there, seeing it, breathing it, touching it, interacting with people living it. I know what Jack and Ennis did, but now I have this hunger to fill in the blanks about the things the film and story never covered.
Another year, another journey!

Bon anniversaire, Chez Tremblay! So glad all you wonderful, gifted, and resourceful people made this my safe online berth, for all things Brokeback, and so much more.
I raise my imaginary whiskey bottle to you all! :)

Happy Birthday all my friends! Today, for the first time in many many days, I have CT open on my desk at work feeling much of the same excitement I felt a year ago when we moved to our new home. This year will certainly go down in history for me as one of the most important of my life. I found the movie that is, and will always be, the cinematic high point for me; two characters, Ennis delMar and Jack Twist, that live in me and are on my mind every day; realizing that I may not be the shy, withdrawn person I've always imaged myself to be-maybe I can get an amen from you Brokies that now know me ;D; suffered some incredible sadness and loss here but more than mitigated by the happiness that you bring me.
I don't know that I will ever recapture the excitement of of those early days but the mellow happiness that remains is good enough for me.
You bring me joy

( 4 years ago I treated myself to a new car. I bought a red 2003 Honda CR-V and named it Ruby. I wanted it to be gender neutral so I changed the spelling to Roux (red)b=Ruby. Rouxb Calvina to be exact. The nickname became mine as well for a few friends and thus was the I that is me born.

I guess Bettermost has become the proverbial long term partner for us all - the intial lust period we all experience goes but the love has grown to just part of our lives - our normal routine goes on but if our partner was snatched from us we would find it extremely hard to cope and our hearts would be broken.
(was that just a little cheesy!? ;D It's true though - my metaphor for the day!!!)

-maybe I can get an amen from you Brokies that now know me ;D;
Amen, girlfriend!
Shy? Withdrawn?
I don't think so...
Love you, RouxB
Cheers for a great year,
Paul

Paul, if I were in Boston I'd be smooching you up something fierce!

I seriously miss you, girl. Are you coming to Denver? Do I have to come up to Alberta to
slap see you?
