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

[Meryl]

In the backseat with Jack, Lureen whipped off her brassiere and got down to business. 

[Fran]

Lee, "yU" was played by me all the way back in Round 12.  (See reply #342.)

We need a replacement "Y" word.

[Fran]

"The cold air sweetened, banded pebbles and crumbs of soil cast sudden pencil-long shadows, and the rearing lodgepole pines below them massed in slabs of somber malachite."  [story]

Lureen was decked out in fancy clothes and jewels for the charity dance.

From an early debate on BBM’s box-office potential:

"Romances just do not do reliable business, at all, so what you guys really have to ask yourself is:  what kind of yardsticks are you using to measure the success of 'Brokeback Mountain'?   I mean, when easy-to-sell straight romantic comedies like 'Must Love Dogs' or 'Love Actually' can barely crack $50 million, then what can we reasonably expect from 'Brokeback Mountain'?"  [link]

[This is the replacement "Y" word.]

[Meryl]

Snow was falling outside in big, heavy flakes as Ennis and Alma argued in the kitchen on Thanksgiving.

[memento]

LaShawn had the gift of gab.

[Fran]

"Brokeback Mountain  is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center."

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop {closed Sept. 11th}

Only after being prompted by Linda was Ennis inquiring into a postcard of Brokeback Mountain.  (Inquiring minds wanna know!)


=transition= Victoria
Former ABCz player (and so much more) has departed the BBM Board!   Vicky Kay was a longtime player and good for our "graveyard" shift.  Will miss Miss Vicky's fun graphix.  Y, I even got her 2 change her "vkm" moniker.   She was 1 of my many perennial students of spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, syntax, etc. -- which I continue to offer free-of-charge in the better interest of and presentation on the ABCz Board.

Jack was prone to the pronouncement of jeremiads.

def = laments, complaints, named after the prophet Jeremiah.
