When we first meet Jack and Ennis on Brokeback, Jack is outgoing and friendly, but
Ennis is a quiet, withdrawn enigma.

Both Ennis and Mrs. Twist are forlorn when they meet.

Is it just me or is this not as much fun without Will at the helm? :'(

To some, the sight of drying elk meat was gross.

An ill-mannered John Twist didn't think twice about spitting into his coffee cup in front of company.

At the risk of jeopardizing his family life, Jack, nonetheless would not give up on Ennis.

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

When it came to ranching or cowboying (or sheepboying) Ennis and Jack had the required know-how.

So nice to hear from our Mayor Will! 

Glad to know things are humming along for him, and I eagerly await his return to the board, as I'm sure everyone here does as well.   ;D

"L" is legal
« Reply #2928 on: June 05, 2006, 07:29:12 pm »
The legal drinking age in Wyoming in 1963 was 18 so Jack and Ennis weren't breaking the law.

=aside=
In November 1962, at age twenty-one, Richard Cheney was convicted for the first of two offenses of driving while intoxicated (DWI). According to the docket from the Municipal Court in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Cheney was arrested for drunkenness and "operating motor vehicle while intoxicated." A Cheyenne Police Judge found Cheney guilty of the two charges. Cheney's driving license was suspended for 30 days and he had to forfeit a $150 bond posted at the time of his arrest.

Eight months later, in July 1963, Cheney was arrested in Rock Springs, Wyoming and fined $100 for his second DWI conviction. At the time, it was not possible for the authorities in each area to link the two convictions, which would have resulted in the second offense being viewed much more seriously. Since this arrest, Cheney has had no further convictions.

Sandy, while I'm always happy when anything unflattering about our VP (or is he our President? You decide.) resurfaces, the thought of him being so close in age and proximity to Ennis and Jack's perfect time together on the mountain makes me want to scream!!!  Hopefully if their paths ever did cross, it was at the Wolf Ears or somethin' and Ennis got a couple good punches in.
