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

[memento]

lamming the door behind him after wrenching Alma's wrist, Ennis had outstayed his welcome and headed for the Black and Blue Bar.

nuggled together four years later, Ennis still did not seem penitent about walloping Jack their last day on the mountain.

ean Finnan, Dan Kuzmenko, Evan Godfrey, Cameron Dales, Tyler Flewelling, Mark Gamache, and Naomi Robinson worked as production assistants on the film Brokeback Mountain.

tarting Jack's pickup truck upon leaving Brokeback required Ennis' touch, just like so many other things in Jack's life.

eeing Jimbo's departure for the pool table as potentially threatening, Jack skedaddled from the bar.

teven Stowell's essay on Brokeback Mountain in The Oxonian Review starts off like this:

"Brokeback Mountain, the so-called ‘gay cowboy movie’ directed by Ang Lee, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, and based on the novella by Annie E. Proulx (1997), has been lauded by critics and has won several major awards, including best picture at the Venice International Film Festival, and three Academy Awards. It would be hard to argue that the critical success of the film is unrelated to the current political climate of LGBT issues. As one of the few movies in mainstream American cinema featuring a romance between men, gay rights activists support it for revealing the brutality of homophobia, while religious groups protest the message it promotes. Given the political dimensions of this film, it is relevant to ask whether Brokeback Mountain represents homosexuality positively."

tuck dancing with a wiggly Cassie, Ennis endured the humiliation.

Round 875!

The letter "T" is next.

Each post will begin with a word that starts
with the letter "T" and include an unplayed word.

After his second summer on Brokeback ended, Jack drove
grooves across Texas, rodeoin'. He made "three fuckin'
thousand dollars that year. Fuckin' starved. Had to
borrow everthing but a toothbrush from other guys."

Jack's old toothbrush is going to assist us
with this round, so please be sure to include
the following symbol at the beginning of your post:

[Ellemeno]

he toothbrush in the short story appertains to Jack, the one in the movie, to Ennis.

he brouhaha between Ennis and the slop-bucket-mouthed bikers resulted in Ennis' baring his teeth.
