I don't know if you can buy them here, but I've never seen one. A 'normal' European truck would look something like this:



In fact, when I saw one of those big 'American' trucks in Canada last year I couldn't help but take a picture.  ;D




look at the signage on the building behind. the "loose moose" next to "jack astors". somehow that sounds brokebackish. is this pic taken in Canada? perhaps in Calgary?   ;D

It was taken in Toronto. And I only now realized that Jack Astor's was next door.  :o I like the name 'the loose moose'. Pitty it wasn't 'elk' though. :)

exactly correct, bel.  :)

I know the answer to your question, but I am going to let someone else answer. I've already been an eager student showing off my brokie trivia obsessions.

a- Brooklyn - Annie Proulx granddaughter, named Brooklyn plays one of the Delmar girls.

q- does the particular sorority that Lashawn Malone belonged to at SMU have a certain "reputation"? and is the film making a further comment on LaShawn in that brief interaction with Lureen at the table of the 1978 charity dance?  any ex sorority women out there who know what I am talking about, esp anyone who attended university here in TX?

Brooklyn is correct.  However, I thought I read somewhere that Brooklyn Proulx was no relation to Annie.  Do you have the real skinny?

A:  Just a guess, based on my own sorority experience:  Tri Delt (Delta Delta Delta) most likely had the "party girls" and Kappa Phi the more well-to-do girls who liked to lay claim to a bit more sophistication.  Depending on your priorities, both were good houses to be a member of.  Lureen most likely had the edge in the competition, though.  It's very likely not an accident that those two sororities were chosen by our detail-conscious screenwriters and director.

Q:  Who supplied Alma's wedding dress?
