Thanks for this thread, Lee!  I missed a lot of good posts, it seems.  ;D

Here's one from JeffWrangler that I love, originally posted on IMDb, as the Cult was getting started.  Read Daniel's reply as well:

Aww, thanks, Meryl.  :)

OMG, the Thirteenth of October is next Friday, a week from today!  :o  Wish I could take the day off to celebrate properly.

I don't know whether anybody managed to save the threads, but I loved "Cowboy Etiquette," and the one Leslie started, the title of which now escapes me, about cowboys can do things the rest of us can't.

Umm ... I hate to reveal my ignorance, and I'm probably going to have my BetterMost membership rescinded for this, but what is the significance of Oct. 13? (Besides the fact that it's Friday the 13th this year.)

October 13, 1997: Cover date of The New Yorker issue in which "Brokeback Mountain" was first published.

We'll let it slide, but you should review the Cult thread.  ;D

You're mighty welcome, Jeff.  :-*

Maybe we can talk Lee into organizing a chat on the 13th.  My next project is going to be to make up a calendar with all of our high holy days so we can have them ready to hand.  ;D

Many people contributed to making the "buckets" thread the eclectic delight that it is, but one of my early favorites is that of one of our long-time Tremblayans, John Gallagher, who I count as a friend and sympatico person:

One of our founding CT members, now a guest, is rt, and one of his many great topics was "Powerful Film Scenes." All of you contributed so well with your favorites, among you latjoreme, ednbarby, kirkmusic, and several others. Go look at it again, and maybe by now there are new posts to add!
