"B" is backbreaking

Rodeoing, which Jack did, was backbreaking work.

You haven't lived until you've been flying down the highway, steering with your left hand, while your right hand is busy writing words down like "vivisection" and "zither" for the ABCs game!!!

O Captain, my Captain! None of this would be possible without our esteemed Mayor, Kemo Sabe, and originator, the original and one-and-only Will-ABC!!!!!!!!!

"C" is for Canmore
« Reply #5534 on: August 02, 2006, 10:34:26 pm »
The cast and crew stayed in Canmore for a portion of the filming of the movie.  Additionally, the best views of the Three Sisters (one of the mountains making up Brokeback) are from Canmore.

200 rounds!!!!  Unbelievable.  Thanks to Will-U for this awesome place and game and for the opportunity to play along  :)  So proud to be a part of the game!!!!  Way to go everyone.  I never get tired of reading all of your answers and expanding my vocabulary  ;D

"D" is disposition
« Reply #5535 on: August 02, 2006, 10:56:38 pm »
"Ennis del Mar:  about twenty but nonetheless compelling, not light or frivolous in disposition, appearance or manner, uncommonly quick reflexes -- a high-school drop-out country boy with no prospects, brought up to hard work and privation, rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life."  [screenplay]

As we move through our 200th round,
what an accomplishment for anyone who ever
posted an ABCs answer!

From yet another appearance of the BBM train,
it seems you're exchanging your "Captain" title for
"Engineer."  Could it be?

"E" is erase

Time can’t erase Jack and Ennis' connection, and over the next 20 years they meet sporadically, simultaneously accepting and denying what began on Brokeback Mountain.

Ennis del Mar wore faded blue jeans. Boy, did they fit him well!

"G" is gamely
« Reply #5538 on: August 03, 2006, 02:07:57 am »
Ennis & Jack were quite gamely with many of their activities such as their wrestling with each other on the mountain (ask Aguirre) -- and the boyz were also quite gamely at the Siesta Motel!!  ;D  :laugh:

Gamely,
Will-U

"H" is hemorrhaging
« Reply #5539 on: August 03, 2006, 04:45:59 am »
Ennis's nose was bleeding, - and just then he felt as if his heart was hemorrhaging too.




Congratulations on the 200 rounds, Will, players and mods!

What a wonderful achievement!

 :) :) :)
