The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Toast]

Locals and vacationers met on the streets and sidewalks of Juarez that evening, as Jack Twist lowered the bar and raised his spirits.

=thanks= Sandy
I vu your deja vu.
Your post was so good I had to 'borrow' from it.

[memento]

Sitting and drinking in the cantina, Jack was warming up for a hot night.

=aside= Toast
I think I'm having deja vu all over again reading your post.

After being turned away by Ennis, Jack xcogitated a way to get over his desolation:  a trip to Mexico.

def. = to come up with (an idea, plan, explanation, theory, or principle) after a mental effort

[Toast]

Jack yens for time with Ennis Del Mar, who is all tied up with family duties; so Jack heads south.



def - A strong desire or inclination; a yearning or craving.

Ennis's post-divorce rejection of Jack was a real zinger;  that zinger's effect was to send Jack reluctantly Mexico-bound.

Round 362!
We're laying off a few
(letters, that is)
Here's your pink slip

K, Q, Y, Z

[Fran]

=announcement=

As of Round 362, the following alphabet letters are no longer in play:

"K"  "Q"  "Y"  "Z"

These four letters have served the ABCs of BBM game well
by adding a certain degree of difficulty,
but their services are no longer required.

For purposes of the ABCs of BBM game,
the alphabet now has 22 letters: 

A B C D E F G H I J L

M N O P R S T U V W X

 

A complete round consists of 22 letters now, instead of 26;
thus, a round announcement follows the playing of an "X" word.
All other rules remain the same. 

Gamely,
Fran and Sandy

Jack waved back to the bartender on leaving the cantina - his way of saying adiós.

=aside= K, Q, Y, Z
Adiós.

[Fran]

We see Jack blazing along in his pickup trip towards a new destination:  Juarez.

After Ennis's post-divorce rejection, Jack sought to be comforted in Mexico.
