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

[Toast]

Aguirre "Them camps can be 3 or 4 miles from where we pasture the woolies."

[movie]


=question= Toast
Do they really spell "wool-l-ies" w/ an extra "l"?
This word was used in 1st ABCs game as "woolies".
Will-ABC

good question
Jack rides the woolies as a kid in the novella (one l)

but in the screenplay 2003, and subtitles, Aguirre talks about the woollies. (two ls)
Ruling?

=reply=
I've now made it "woolies" since that's how Annie Proulx did it originally. (Thanks for finding "woolies" in the novella, Toast.)  Maybe it's spelled "woollies" in the screenplay to emphasize Joe Aguirre's pronunciation of that second "L":  wool lees as opposed to wool ees.

XXX: Ellemeno's "quid" in this round 50.
Note: Word, player and round must always be cited.

"Quid pro quo" is so totally inapplicable at BBM.  It usually involves something under-handed and perhaps illegal.  Frequently, it refers to swapping political favors.  In fact, "quid pro quo" is the diametrically opposed opposite here.  It means an unwritten and unmoneyed exchange.  It never involves money; never a job.  These boyz were (a) hired for a job and (b) paid a salary.  There was posilutely no "quid" and no "squid"!!

Vanna, we need the letter "Q" asap.

From the screenplay:

JACK, flattered by the attention of the rodeo queen and trying to show off, hangs on to a tough, spinning bull, actually makes a fine ride. 

(Toast, thanks for finding the reference.)

=comment= FGH
Isn't "rodeo queen" said in BBM movie, too?
I just can't believe that no one used "queen"!?

Next letter: "X"

[Will-U]

The xact cause of Jack's death is not known: tire rim or tire iron?

Joe Aguirre's hiring of summer help to herd sheep is a yearly event.

The zestful expression on Ennis' face when Jack Twist finally arrives in Riverton shows his heartfelt emotions.

Another milestone!!!

Thanks to all the players and the mods for keeping this game alive and well.

Once their passions were ignited, their ardor could not be controlled, in the first tent scene nor in the reunion 4 years later.

Thanks for posting, Victoria. I've enjoyed reading your travelogue.

Jack said he was doing all right but he missed Ennis bad enough sometimes to make him whip babies.

Cassie was wearing cutoffs and a tube top when she  practically accosted Ennis and wouldn't even let him go to the bathroom.
