Alma wanted to smarten up and go to the church social but Ennis just wanted to lounge around, drink beer and watch TV. Stood

To keep harmony in his household, Jack had to deal with his father-in-law's treating him like a nonentity.  Stood... until Thanksgiving of 1977!

"P" is pertinacious

Ennis developed ways of ignoring Alma's pertinacious references to his getting a better job, among them mumbling, getting out of the house, and turning over in bed.  Stood!

"R" is regrettably

Regrettably, Jack and Ennis were only able to be together infrequently.  There was "never enough time, never enough."  Stood!

After seeing how much being in love with another man cramped his style, Ennis tried to forget about Jack by getting married. Stood for a while!

Ennis, troubled, in town:

You ever get the feelin'...  ...I don't know...  when you're in town and someone looks at ya?
Suspicious?
Like he knows.
And then you go out on the pavement and everyone's lookin' at ya like they all know, too?

Stood!

"U" is unlawfulness
« Reply #12798 on: April 28, 2007, 01:45:07 pm »
To perform his herding duties to Joe Aguirre's satisfaction, Jack had to engage in unlawfulness by pitching a pup tent on the Q.T. and sleeping with the sheep.  He also had to put up with a smelly tent.  Stood!

Jack couldn't fix LaShawn's squirrel chatter, so he put up with her vapidity and danced.  Stood!
