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

[Toast]

Ennis' hat is more of a ten-gallon hat than Jack's.

The original Spanish/Mexican hat had as many as ten, possibly more, galones.  "Galón" is the Spanish word for braid.  Instead of "ten galón hats," English speakers heard "ten-gallon hats."  Ennis' hatband is braided while Jack has a solid band on his hat.  One galón for Jack, multi galones for Ennis.

i.e., the "gallons" are a measure of decoration, not a measure of liquid volume.

Very informative post Toast. I, for one, did not know that gallons did not refer to volume.

Thanks for the centering idea.

Although Jack and Ennis loved each other, they had varied ideas regarding the nature and future of their relationship.  Ennis thought he was content with meeting up with Jack "once in a while, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere", while Jack desperately needed the proximity to Ennis that they could achieve by sharing a ranch together.

Jack whistled along to the song playing on the eight-track tape, in this case, "King of the Road."

I remember when eight-track tapes were considered "high tech."  Thanks, Toast, for making me feel OLD!!!!!

Ennis xtrapolated his fear about two men living together from the
horrific death of Earl, which his father put on display for him.

Putting my high-school Spanish to work here:

The Mexican prostitute's shoes are called zapatos.

Happy Mother's Day to the moms of all the Playerz and to the Playerz who are moms!

What a wonderful way to start my Sunday morning:  posting a "Z" and announcing a round!

[Toast]

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Jack said that Ennis would be better off sleeping in the tent. How right he was!
