I wish the avatar were a little larger. People probably can't make it out from the picture, but I'm sort of making a visual pun: In the photograph I'm holding an antique Civil War rife; hence, "Gun's goin' off!" ::)

I didn't notice the gun. What a crack up! ;D

LOL, oh man... the famous "wrang" it out debate! What thread was that from? Does anyone remember? It was at the very least, quite entertaining.
:laugh:

Well, as far as I know, I'm the first one to introduce that possibility, and even I can't remember where I first mentioned it. I'll admit that the reaction to my suggestion was decidedly mixed. But to me, Ennis looking all perky as he reads the postcard and then immediately striding quickly out of the kitchen as he dries his hands (and remembering the "wrang it out line" in the story, figuring it logically must apply to Movie Ennis, too, but not seeing it dramatized anywhere else in the movie) just suggests that interpretation. But it's one of those cute little moments that you could just easily think mean absolutely nothing.
It's kind of like, as I was saying yesterday, the old Cowboy Etiquette joke about Ennis parking in the back lot, directly under the "Laundromat Entrance in Front," to show what entrance he REALLY likes using. Doesn't it seem at least remotely possible that that was deliberate?
:laugh:

He coulda been hurrying off to go get his pen, so he could redline it to the post offfice to write the YOU BET postcard.
(That sentence reminds me of when I was a kid, my friends and I would crack up at the written sentence "The PEN IS on the table.")
