Yeah I know but since Annie P. refers to him as Basque in the short story, I figured they did the same in the movie. But as far as I'm concerned is not an actual name. I took it as a nickname or something. David Trimble is dressed as a Basque in the movie, so I thought the character was of basque heritage, and everyone called him Basque. Basque names, and especially surnames, are sometimes hard to pronounce. They don't speak Spanish, well they do, but it is not the original Basque Country language. It's euskera.

Basque isnt a name, it's a nationality.  He is "the" Basque.  Though he might have been called "Basque", I decided to name him Pedro!

There are a lot of Basque shepherds in the northern Rocky Mountains. My son in law was born and grew up near Boise, Idaho, where the largest concentration of Basques in North America live. Occasionally the name of the nationality is seen as a given name, but it usually has a Spanish spelling, as in the name, Vasco.

absolutely stunning suits.

Chapter 82 of Shelter from the Storm, Ryan.  Thanks for doing that - are you posting it at BB Slash?  I think your last fan art posting there brought in at least one new reader!

Wonderful pic of the two of them together. No wonder the photographer thought they were the best looking guys there.

That picture made my day, Quiplash!  Thank you! ;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)
