"U" is unlucky

If forty-two unlucky sheep were zapped in an electric lightning storm, they would give off an odor that would almost asphyxiate their herder.

=aside= Sandy

"A" is Angelenos

If Annie Proulx were to critique the Academy Awards, she would refer to the local Angelenos as "somewhat dim".

"B" is bemoan
« Reply #19604 on: April 22, 2009, 11:35:04 pm »
If bombarded with a torrent of "pornish" Brokeback fan fiction, Annie Proulx would bemoan the fact that some people just "don't get the message that if you can't fix it, you've got to stand it."

=congrats=
800!  Who woulda thunk it?

"C" is countless

If Annie Proulx were to write about Brokeback fan fiction, she would say, "There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story."

=congrats= players
On 800 challenging, fun-filled, mind-boggling, beautiful rounds.

"D" is divisiveness
« Reply #19606 on: April 23, 2009, 08:51:56 am »
If Annie were asked about why people were hungry for a story such as "Brokeback Mountain", she would reply: 

"Because it's a love story and there's hardly much love around these days. I think people are sick of divisiveness, hate-mongering, disasters, war, loss; and need and want a reminder that sometimes love comes along that is strong and permanent, and that it can happen to anyone."

"E" is essay

If she had to vent after her Brokeback Mountain Oscar hopes were dashed by Crash, Annie Proulx would write an essay entitled "Blood on the red carpet."

If Annie were to critique the Academy Awards, she would refer to the statuettes as "magic gold-coated gelded godlings".
