Same here.
I like your references to, uh, spanking.
I like your uses.
I like verbal diarrhea. I'm swimming in it!
The Forsytes are great. I really love them.
I don't know if all editions have a family tree as a frontispiece, but mine does, and, while it comes in handy initially, it also reveals some plot turns that I would rather not have known about in advance. It reminds me a little of when I read War and Peace: years before I read it, I had happened upon just the shortest snippet of the movie version, with Audrey Hepburn, and a major plot element had been revealed in just the seconds I saw. I was flipping channels, or it was in a documentary or something. I had forgotten it entirely for years, but then when I got into the book and became attached to the characters whose futures I had inadvertently learned about years before, I had this eerie deja-vu feeling about them. It actually made the experience all the more poignant. Kinda made me love them more because I knew something they didn't know. Sniff. I can imagine having had an eerie forefeeling with Brokeback Mountain, but in fact I didn't.

Guilty, guilty, guilty. I'm a naughty little ferret. No more hijacking threads. I'm taking the Forsytes over to Anything Goes. Earl Gray and cucumber sandwiches will be served.

Hey Ruby (I still think we may be twins!) & all -
I am still obsessed, watching the DVD every week since it came out (bought it as the store opened on 04/04). Somehow I am comforted by it (was in a panic when I thought Brokeback was leaving the theater & thus saw it 3 days straight for 3 weeks in a row!!).
I still post on TOB. It actually took me awhile to move over to here also. But, I do not post as frequently and worry that new topics, views and insights are becoming fewer & fewer.

Personally, my biggest dream for our community is still to have a gathering in Calgary either this summer or next. Meeting together, as many of us as possible--to camp, to watch the movie on some big screen outside, to share some whiskey, coffee, elk meat, beans, and each others’ incredible company (tents or no tents)--would be the ultimate brokie experience for me.

I AGREE completely - and am definitely ready to go in "07 - would love to this year also, but I have already made plans that can not be changed. I hope that someone (Someone?) will get an e-mail list of everyone that wants to travel to Calgary so, even if they fade from this site somewhat, they can be contacted about our reunion.

Just shamelessly bumping my thread...I hope it generates more discussion today. Kinda serious, I know, but put your two cents in about how you are and how we seem to be doing. Things look good today!
