now listen folks, when I said "Dupree will be showing up with a female" it was not to start the Mystery Theater wheels turning.  What's the matter, have I put you through so many twists and turns plotwise that every unintentionally ambiguous comment I make in LJ turns into a Major Plot Speculation?

 :-\

Yes!
 ;D ;) ;D

SPOILER...














It was suggested that I try to find some of those compromising photos of Amos Marigold for the gallery...I did a quick search and folks...I don't want to go there. I think I'll pass on this assignment, if it is okay with you. LOL

"Always willing to look at a hot guy but Amos in undies...I don't think so...."

Yes Leslie, that is definitely okay with me!

Oops I forgot to welcome any lurking fans - welcome! 

De-lurk if you want, it's fun!

Does anyone feel up for making a top ten moments between E and E list?

I'll start: one of my all time faves is the 'look of lust' and ensuing interchange between Ennis and Ellery at the Rose Hotel as they look for the ring that Pete lost. 

It was great how they all flashed back to the beginning tonight.

Oh, I forgot Louise asked about offensive pet names... well, I used to live in a town where the was a street named Lumpkin, so I don't mind that one.

Honestly, none of them are really offensive... just sorta take some getting used to...  One of my good friends and her husband call each other Pookie.  Personally, I'm a honey, sweety, babe kinda person.  And lately, I've been using the word 'bud' a lot.

In a word, Yes!!!   :D
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)
