XXX - foreman
« Reply #2433 on: May 25, 2006, 07:36:51 pm »
While updating the Answer List, I discovered that "foreman" was already played in Round 69 by me. 

We need a replacement "F" word.
The next letter after that is "I".

"F" is flowery
« Reply #2434 on: May 25, 2006, 07:55:29 pm »
"F" is to replace "F" Fran's "f" foregone "F" foreman (a.k.a. Mr. XXX).

"Ennis and Jack.... out above the tree line into the great flowery meadows." [story, p. 8]


Note:  Next letter is "I", e.g., ignorant azz!

Proulx describes Ennis in the first tent scene:  "...nothing he'd done before but no instruction manual needed."

It was difficult for Alma to be jannock when Jack entered their apartment.

"K" is knee-jerk

Ennis got into so many fist fights, that throwing the first punch was nearly a knee-jerk reaction for him.

Ennis to Alma as he leaves for his "fishing" trip:  "See you Sunday, latest."

"M" is magazine

Jack's bedroom:  An ancient magazine photograph of some dark-haired movie star was taped to the wall beside the bed, the skin tone gone magenta.
