Oh yes, Deb, know the feeling....i feel the same when i see a mountain peak, a postcard, a blue denim shirt even a dam fishing tackle creole.....
And just you mentioning the tire iron, gave me a feeling of dread...
Nothing was ever going to be the same, once Brokeback got us good....
Delmardeb:
You are so right Katie- "Brokeback got us good!"
I went on a picnic at a lake the other day and the trees that were above the lake looked like a mountain range. You and all of the other Brokies know what my first thought was. It is so strange- the smallest things in life that you never paid attention to in the past, after BBM, you pay attention to them,especially if these things were in the story or the movie.
I wanted to throw that tire iron away- but it is a tool that you need!!
And like you said- nothing is ever going to be the same!

Well, my husband and I were in the kitchen today (we live in Texas) - to our horror we saw a Texas-size spider.....we were both unnerved, and it called for a GDBOUS!
We were able to tag team the death of this critter - Mike with the 20-foot distance Raid spray, and I with the kitchen broom and dustpan. Thus, it turned out to be a very 'satisfactory situation' after all, I am happy to report.

Well as some of you know, I not only have an addiction to Brokeback, but I also am addicted to on line poker (the non cash version)
Anyway, when you play at the poker table, there is a chat section down the side, where you can chat to whoever else is at the table.....
The other day I noticed a player, whose name was "dusty ol cowboy"....so that got my interest straight away.....
He was chatting to someone and next thing i see him answer with "you bet".....wow....i couldnt take my eyes off those two words, they were like a flashing sign....I continued to read his conversation, and soon after he wrote "yes m'am" now i dont even know if that was in the movie but it sure sounded like something Ennis would say...
I couldnt resist any longer, so I asked him where he came from....his answer...."Wyoming".......well, i nearly fell off my chair......so then I asked if he lived anywhere near Riverton, and he answered..."bout two hours drive from Riverton".....
He left the table not long after.....probably to get away from the inquisitive Aussie sheila who was asking him questions......but he made my day, that dusty ol cowboy.....
