Jack faithfully made the 14-hour trip from Texas to Wyoming a few times a year to reunite with Ennis.

"G" is guaranteed

Jack went to Texas to earn some money in the rodeo, but he discovered that he needed money to win money.  A successful liaison with Lureen - and her family - guaranteed that he didn't have to rodeo any more.

Jack told his hard-luck story about nearly starving in Texas, borrowing everything from the other guys except a toothbrush.

Jack's successful liaison with Lureen and her family was implemental in his gaining employment at Newsome Farm Equipment.

The lovely mauve dining room chairs at the Twist home gave the place a certain je ne sais quoi that translated into "We've arrived."

The mauve dining room chairs in the Twist home must be the loveliest in all of Childress, Texas.

You know, you been going up to Wyoming
all these years.  Why can't your buddy come
down here to Texas and fish?

                    JACK
'Cause the Big Horn Mountains ain't
in Texas.  Doubt his pickup would make it this
far anyways.

Jack's successful liaison with Lureen and her family allowed him to enjoy the nicer things in life such as the mauve dining room chairs.

"O" is ostensibility

Lureen's furniture purchases (probably not made in Childress) seemed to be motivated by ostensibility rather than by comfort, durability or good taste.

"P" is periphery

Although they were perhaps on the periphery of good taste, the lovely mauve chairs reflected the American dream as realized in Childress, Texas.
