Memorial Brick
« on: July 18, 2006, 12:34:06 pm »
I posted this in my blog already, but wanted to put it out in the mainstream as well:

I have an opportunity to buy one of those fundraisng bricks for a museum near my office. I was wanting to come up with something BBM related to say with it.

Right now I am leaning toward:  "Ennis & Jack
                                          'We was good friends'"

Have had some good suggestions as well, and am open for more. Anyone?

Usually those bricks have a limit on number of letters/characters. Do you know...so we can come up with something that will fit in the limit? I have given a couple of these, myself, for different causes. Nothing BBM, though (yet?).

Awww.  Your suggestion is very sweet.  I hope it fits!  It's a really good idea to sponsor a Brokie brick in a memeorial like that.

Hi Shakes......your suggestion is fine, and I think it is fabulous what you are doing...

One suggestion I saw somewhere else......Ennis and Jack
                                                          Brokeback sure got us good..

That not only refers to our boys, but also to all the people like us....

Well done mate, let us know what you decide.

      -Ennis


or if you want to get romantic

Jack, I swear...
      -love Ennis

Speaking with the museum this morning I learned I could get a Jumbo Brick with 78 characters on it. I don't think I will need one that large. Have  had amny wonderful suggestions, that I hope will be used by anyone anywhere to put a bick someplace.

So here is what I have finally decided to put:

                       ENNIS & JACK
              "Ole Brokeback got us good"

Wonderful, Tru.  Hope we'll see a picture when it's in place.

Any possibility of two bricks, side by side?  One Jack, one Ennis?
