"B" is blameworthy

Jack and Ennis were partly blameworthy for the wrong sheep count.  If they hadn't spent their nights together at camp, they might've been able to avoid the sheep mix-up.

When Jack is spurned one weekend by Ennis after the latter's divorce, Jack suffers almost -- if not -- an emotional breakdown.

In Ennis' mind, Jack did not die from an exploding tire, but from a ferocious beating with tire irons.   :-\

"H" is heterosexual

Do we have any here?  Only, kidding, of course, we do  -- not.  Kidding!  First, we have Dre!  Oh, and Fran.  Ironically, they both spoke w/ each other tonite.

In BBM, the most outrageous heterosexual is Cassie Ann Cartwright: slutting around, dragging guys on the dance floor, flinging her dangerous mane of hair and especially her orders like "Rub my feet"!

Ennis was attracted to Jack's carefree insouciant attitude.

Jute is the material used to make the twine that bound the bales of hay Ennis fed the cattle.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.
