Don't Never Order Soup...

(1/7) > >>

Front-Ranger:
Them soup boxes is hard to pack.

Well, I'm not saying never bring certain things up, but just be careful if you do. Take it from a Front-Ranger who's been in plenty of hot water in the past.

First of all, Alma and Lureen are really wonderful, wise women who just want the best for their men, always. Also, Cassie and LaShawn are the finest examples of femininity that you would ever want to come across. Mrs. Twist is always spoken about in reverent tones. She is the madonna. I'm sure Ennis's mom was a swell woman too...she sang to him. You can say any old vile thing about John Twist, L.D. Newsome, the bikers, or pretty much any guy in the movie except of course Jack and Ennis. Even Monroe.

The story, as written by Annie Proulx, is thought of as the gospel by a big chunk of the bean board, whereas there are others who don't think much of the story, but regard the movie as the last word. Be careful not to get caught in the crossfire.

Jake and Heath are the ideal models of male virility and beauty. Don't malign either one, though you can drool as much as you like over one or the other. Oh, they're intelligent and talented too, don't forget.

Jack is wind and air, and maybe water. Unless Alma's water. And Ennis is earth, that much we know. And maybe fire. Unless Lureen is fire. Lureen is red and white, and white stands for death, or purity. But red is death, or perhaps it is passion, or prosperity. But dark red is something else, and blood is red, so red must stand for death. But then what is white? Let's just go on to purple. Purple is blue and red, so it stands for Jack's death. And brown stands for Ennis, also yellow. But yellow and blue make green, so green stands for Ennis and Jack. And orange is Ennis, so the stained glass window in the church stands for Ennis and Ennis+Jack. 'nuff said.

Jack was always a bottom and Ennis was always a top. Never doubt this!

Just trying to help out here.

The "bean board"?

 ???

Lee's tongue is in her cheek, methinks.  At least mostly (methinks).

I'm just glad you didn't list Jimbo on the list of men to revile.  Most people don't like him, it seems, but I think he's just a scared victim of homophobia too.

And colorwise - I think that purple is Jack (blue) + Lureen (red), hence the purple chairs at Thanksgiving, after Jack has deepened his commitment to his Texas life after the post-divorce scene.

And frankly, after reading all these color-meaning threads, today in a restaurant with a variety of cloth napkin colors, I was like, "There's a Jack napkin, there's a false Alma napkin, there's a Ennis+Jack napkin, etc."  If every color means something in BBM symbology, we can be reminded of them all dang day, all dang where.

;D ;D ;D

I was out of town and missed this. I'd been thinking about a "symbols that can be read more than one way" thread, but I think I'll just read this one and laugh.

Front-Ranger:
Enjoy, Mel. And be glad U were out of town! Oh, I have something to add. Even though he never made it to his sophomore year, Ennis is very bright for his age, and a very good reader. You'll notice he completed a post card with "You bet" written very clearly and with no spelling errors, unlike Jack, who said "Say if your there." (But I'm sure Jack is very bright too.) And while we're at it, Lureen, a Tri Delt, was very eloquent and well spoken when she said, "Husbands don't never like to dance with their wives."
