I love this thread too, but when I went to see the film again yesterday, they all kept popping in my head (this and the 'lines you won't hear in BBM' thread. Not only did I keep nearly giggling at random moments, it's a good job I've lost my voice or I might have shouted out a few in the cinema. especially the bad news makes chopping wood disappear. i did actually mouth that one, just no sound came out!!

That's funny. I can totally see that.
I find myself mouthing along with several of the lines in the movie, and the chorus to 'quizas' that ends the mexico scene. could probably do most of the movie dialogue by now, if i tried, having seen it 10 times.

We (all of crazy Brokies) are going to have to rent a huge theater somewhere, and watch it together, first in quiet, respectful, silence and sobbing, and then a second time, where everyone says every line of the dialogue right along with the movie!
And yes, you can dress like your favorite character (of course). You can also bring props (cowboy hats, belt buckles, whisky bottles, etc.), but actual sheep or livestock of any kind are forbidden.
One more try here -
- The polite cowboy will never refuse the offer to rub the tired, smelly feet of his waitress. Since the stoic cowboy spends his mornings castrating calves and is thus used to unpleasant odors and body parts, he is hardly fazed by such bizarre request.

Whilst kneeling by a stream, your cowboy lover may, from time to time, query you as to how “relations” are with your missus. He may then express insecurity that his homosexuality may have been discovered by others. It is prudent NOT to point out the obvious: that said lover grabbed you and frenched you on the street in broad-daylight years ago and that the odds of nobody seeing (other than his wife) were remote and that, furthermore, 10 to 12 years is probably an acceptable time for the gossip to have been passed on.
When seducing your friend who, you’re not even sure is gay, grabbing his hand and putting it onto your erect appendage, really ought to be enough to do the trick.
When having a moment of tenderness and seducing him again the following night, it helps the proceedings immensely if you are shirtless and have enormous baby-blue eyes and are bathed in an attractive, flattering yellowy-glow.
Whispering between hesitant cowboys is very sexy, because it ignites mass discussion on the internet about what was ACTUALLY said.

Yes oh yes, please yes!!! That would be a phenomenal experience!!!!!!!!
And I like the idea of watching it again immediately following the first viewing. Think how soothing and comforting it'd be to go from crying for Jack and Ennis, to watching them fall in love all over again. Yum.
And yes, you can dress like your favorite character (of course). You can also bring props (cowboy hats, belt buckles, whisky bottles, etc.), but actual sheep or livestock of any kind are forbidden.
I must admit, since Brokeback Mountain I have an insatiable craving for cowboy boots. Too bad I can't afford them right now. But someday, they will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.
Also kind of want a cowboy hat, though not sure how I'd look in one.
You know it would be awesome to have the equivalent of an IMDB board Brokies (or, heck, all Brokies) family reunion! 'Course we'd all be meeting for the first time.

I have had a longing for cowboy boots before BBM..and now, I actually have 5 pairs! :D The other day, I went to the theatre to watch BBM and I was wearing my deadly black cowboy boots. I was sitting outside, waiting to enter the theatre, then this guy sitting beside me commented on how hot these boots were, and then he said - "lemme guess, you are going to watch brokeback mountain?!"..what a proud brokie i was at that moment.
But I digress, this is a cool thread, everyone should check it out!

When your wife obliquely questions your sexual orientation, the proper response is to punish yourself in some dramatic way. Dancing with an overtalkative neighbor lady, though possibly boring, does not make as strong a statement as getting someone to beat you up.

* When faced with a difficult situation, or when confronting someone, or when you are just plain p!ssed off, NEVER use the words: "this is a godd!mn b!tch of an unsatisfactory situation"; unless you wish to - a)feel completely self-conscious or b)start giggling and risk looking like an imbecile.
* If you have a cowboy lover, try not to 'put the blocks' on any barmaids (or waitresses in general), no matter how eager they are, especially when you are only interested in your cigarette when she is dancing with you.

A couple more:
When cleaning a shirt in a stream, it is important to be nude, save for your boots. And three smacks with a small sodden stick is all the cleaning a shirt requires.
When undertaking an illicit gay affair in the mountains, let discretion be the better part of valour. Simply put, don't jump your shirtless lover's bones OUTSIDE the tent, lest your homophobic employer happens to be spying on you through the binoculars.

When washing your privates out in the open where your partner can see you, always keep your cowboy hat on.
When entering a tent where your partner is already lying down, good manners dictate that you remove your hat and cover any bulge that might be showing in the crotch area of your jeans.

When a foreman picks up his phone halfway and just stares at you, it means you're dismissed from his trailer.
Improving your horse-riding skills will result in better lovemaking skills
When you suspect your cowboy husband is being unfaithful, don't throw away or tear up the postcards he keeps getting from his secret lover.
When kicking back on the sofa, prop your bare feet up on the coffee table for maximum comfort.
To best seduce a drunk cowboy in a bar, force him to watch you dance. Hair-whippage is a plus.

An ungrateful woolie may give a fair imitation of 'The Worm' breakdance on the back of a cowboy's head as he carries it to safety. This can be embarassing. However, a good cowboy will never drop said ungrateful woolie on its head in the river.
Your whiskey bottle will disappear into thin air during impromptu rodeo demonstrations. Just hold tight because it always reappears at a later time.
Even the horse with a high startle point will be startled by half-naked, sexy cowboys chasing and wrestling each other to the ground. The horse with the low startle point will be totally freaked out and want to leave immediately.
If you suspect that your 'ranch stiffs' are 'stemming the rose' on your time, squint your eyes a lot when you speak to either of them, but never just burst out with what you know straight away. Save it for much later. Ditto for a cowboy's wife.

Under no circumstance should you approach a stranger and introduce yourself if you find yourselves waiting in the same employment line. This is especially important if said stranger looks exactly like you in age, build, dress, etc. The appropriate behavior is to hide behind your hat brim. If you later find yourself feeling friendly towards said stranger, the appropriate way to express yourself is to make fun of his harmonica playing and marksmanship. If all else fails, pick a fight and deck the guy while he is trying to nurse your nosebleed.

Women in Wyoming and Texas have absolutely NO gaydar. Hence they frequently marry gay cowboys, unawares.
If you are an attractive, gay, big-blue-eyed cowboy, avoid batting your thick black lashes at straight men in bars. They may take offense, refuse offered drinks, and sass you.
If your bar-room advances are rebuffed, the nearest bartender will step in to distract you from the rejection by suggesting you try a new occupation. Say, calf-ropin'.

I was just listening to a song by Big & Rich - "save a horse, ride a cowboy"; and guess what I thought about? You got it!
More nuances of cowboy etiquette, let me see:
- Even though cowboys remove their hats when jumping over cliffs in the nude and skinny deeping in a lake...they however reserve the right to keep hats ON while bathing infront of potential lovers (as long as their eyes are hidden, who cares what else is exposed?)
- Thanks to Jack and Ennis, Fishermen everywhere will have NO job credibility for a long, long time to come!

> Its perfectly acceptable to have sex fully clothed, just slip down pants a little. Keep boots on all the time.
- However, if sex, bathing, or other activity has taken place in the nude, the cowboy hat always goes on first when dressing.
- When teasing a fellow herder in the process of said dressing, always run off with his shirt, never the hat.

"All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned On Brokeback Mountain"
By: Robert Fulgham, Larry McMurtry & John F. Kennedy
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Wyoming. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain but at the top of Brokeback Mountain. These are the things I learned..
Share everything, including your sleeping bag.
Play fair, you don’t always get to be on top.
Texans don't drink coffee.
Don't hit people unless they keep turning the damn game on during dinner.
If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it.
Don't read things that aren't yours.
Say sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat, especially if you just spit on them.
You can't make it on a coupla high-altitude *beep* once or twice a year.
Flush & leave the seat up.
What you can't change, you've just got to ride out.
Warm beans and cold whiskey are good for you.
Take a nap every afternoon, let the dogs watch the sheep.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we if we get caught.
There ain't never enough time, never enough.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world had whiskey and beans about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down in our sleeping bags for a nap. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others. So, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

People named Alma wear really ugly shirts, particularly if they are a Jr.
I remember every girl in the early 80's had that shirt. i break out my elementary school year book and practically every girl was an Alma Jr.

MasterSidious - thanks for sharing that. I love it. I think I may have to institute a 3 0'clock, warm beans & cold whiskey ritual, followed by a nice nap in a snuggly sleeping bag shared with a handsome cowboy.

When herding woolies, make sure you sleep with the sheep, 100%.
When wrangling a herd of sheep, be sure to carry at least one, token sheep, while the others walk. You may carry said sheep in your arms, over your shoulders, or stow it in your saddle bag.
After parting with your reticent new cowboy lover, allow up to four years before attempting contact. Lest you seem too eager.
If possible, marry and have a child first.

When your straight and gay worlds are about to collide, tuck the back of your shirt firmly into your pants, to regain composure and "batten down the hatches".
(Thanks to latjoremekeed's brilliant insight, the source for this bit of ettiqutte wisdom. See his inspired explanation of Ennis's compulsive shirt tucking habit on the thread "Ennis and his shirt habbit," which can be found at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/board/flat/37654969?d=37733161#37733161 )

I apologise in advance if these are crude: :D
* If you are the wife of a cowboy who loves 'to fish', make sure that his main 'fishing buddy':
- Does NOT have the ability to mysteriously incite bouts of heavy-breathing in your husband; and
- Does NOT look like sex on legs; and
- Does NOT look like Jack f---ing Twist for that matter!
* Although high-altitude f--ks are highly recommended for hot rodeo cowboys, they must however be administered in large numbers for complete satisfaction. (talk about sexual healing for cowboys!) ;)

When your little girl has left your place, after telling you she is getting married, and leaves her sweater behind, look out the door to see if you can catch her to give it to her even if she left so long ago that she is probably *miles* away by now...

Not crude at all. I love these, Lucise. I thought the heavy breathing Ennis&Alma scene was kinda funny, too. She's practically orgasming over trying to seduce him into moving to town, oblivious to the fact that her feminine charms are futile with Ennis.
I also dig your high-altitude *beep* prescription. Take as needed, take often.

If you can't sleep at night, repeat these words over and over:

Whenever I watch that scene, I keep thinking 'He is probably thinking about Jack at that very moment, wishing it was Jack caressing his neck like that'...
Poor Alma! :)

Bumpety bump.
Mountain ranges must have funny names. Brokeback, the Grand Tetons, and the Big Horns are examples of acceptable mountain monikers.

* When assigned to the domestic duties in a cowboy camp for two, it's in your responsibility to ensure a balanced nutrition for your fellow cowboy. A strict vegetarian diet with a predominance of pulse (e.g. beans) is to be avoided as it might lead to increased airpressure that will eventually make it’s way out of diverse orifices of the body. This, in combination with musical instruments unprofessionally applied to said orifices, is very likely to cause everybody involved immense pain.
* Younger cowboys who are still in their growth are known to be very very hungry after they come back from sheep herding. The caring camp tender will make sure that some meat is served at least once in a while. Doing so, he should by all means avoid to appear petty. Cowboy: don't make do with a small animal. Rabbits and sheep are for Sissies. Be sure to come up with something more impressive, ideally an elk! We want some leftovers for the next day, don’t we?
* Elk-meat ist best served fresh. If his friend is a critical consumer the responsible cowboy will let him take part in the preparation process, starting with the killing, in order to assure him of the quality of the used products.
* With elk meat, no side dishes are needed. Avoid excessive seasoning (= be sparing with condiments). Serve with butt-warm whiskey.
* Some parsley as decoration would be desirable, yet is not obligatory. The lack of it can be made up for with some extra-attention for the guest after dinner.
Bon Apetit!

* When planning to have sex with his buddy in the middle of nowhere, the dutiful cowboy is expected to choose the location for this carefully. Note: there should be enough room for at least one camera crew, even if we are dealing with confined spaces such as tents. To make things easier for said crew, pay attention to the lighting! There should be at least a camp fire or a full moon. Be prepared to repeat things when the film people didn't like your performance.
* When jumping on each other in the open nature, cowboys should make sure to be well visible from all directions. Remember: older beer-bellied men might be sitting somewhere in the woods with their binoculars. It would be very unkind indeed to deprive them of their well earned diversion, especially when they are the cowboys' employers.
