The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Fran]

Brokeback Mountain won four Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture - Drama.

Jack looked hopeful (how sad) when he asked Ennis if he was coming back next summer.

At Jack & Lureen Twists' house at that Thanksgiving Day dinner, obnoxious and rude L.D. Newsome was also acting like a total imbecile.

I apologize for being behind, but I started a new job this week that has cut into my screwing-around-online-time in a major way!  On to the main topics:

1.  1,000 posts:  You playerz are all the best!  You rock, and I love you all!

2.  Lightning vs. lightnin':  This one's more tough.  I will always lean toward having a more liberal interpretation of the rulez unless something is grossly out of line or irrelevant, because, hell, to me it just makes the game more fun because it allows playerz to use and show off their creative juices.  I understand the proper noun argument and meaning-of-the-word argument, but I've been playing under the guise that a word is a word is a word, regardless of whether it has two diferent meanings.   The example that was previously used and that I'm remembering is "Lee" -- whether it's Ang Lee or Lee press-on nails, it's still "Lee" and can only be used once.  That's how I've been playing. 

So is darlin' the same as darling?  I don't care which way we roll, but I do think we should be consistent, and if we can't agree then I say leave it up to the player to self-moderate and decide whether it's a word worth playing. 

Probably not the answer everyone is looking for, but it's the best I got right now.

Brokeback Mountain was produced by Diana Ossana and James Schamus.

[Pipedream]

When Jack pulls up with his truck in the reunion scene and Ennis rushes out on the landing to greet him it’s like a knight coming to fetch his bride.

 

[Will-U]

"L" Lashawn has what's known as loose lips, meaning talks too much!

...the hidden shirts were a memento of happier times, and the handle of one of our esteemed playerz

[DeeDee]

Ennis was just nine years old when his father showed him what happened to poor dead Earl.

[Front-Ranger]

Jack's horse wasn't the only ornery character in this film.

[memento]

Ennis said he was sending up a prayer of thanks for Jack not brining
his harmonica.

One final thought on the Lightning/lightnin' issue. It comes down to the same word being used as both a proper noun and a common noun. Dictionaries always have separate entries for proper and common nouns, such as Nice-the city in France, and nice-kind; Champagne-the region in France, and champagne-the beverage.
I think we have to decide on a rule for the ABC's as to whether proper and common nouns of the same word can have double listings.
