Wow !!!  300 rounds of 26 letters.
7800 Different Words!!!

Let's thank:

• Annie, Diana, Larry, Ang, Heath and Jake ... for creating Brokeback and giving us Ennis and Jack.
• All our Mods, especially Fran and Sandy, for keeping our board clean and neat.
• All our Posterz.
• Google, and all the online/printed dictionaries, reviews and articles that we could find.

I am proud of what we have all done here at the ABCs.  It has been a trial by alphabet.  And we came through with flying phrases.

Brokeback Mountain  is the apotheosis of the literature of love, loss and longing.

Round 300
of the "ABCz of BBM"!!!

What a thrill to see our "not-so-little obsession"
grow and grow and grow!

In the words of Jack: 
"This ain't no little thing that's happenin' here."

Players, you continue to impress me with your dedication to the ABCs.  I'm more than convinced that a few of you love this game as much as I do.  Thanks for your first-rate answerz, your good gamesmanship, and your seemingly endless supply of "Q", "Y", and "Z" wordz.

Thank you, Sandy, for sharing the load here.  I couldn't ask for a better mod.

Thank you, Phillip, for giving the ABCs game the room it needs to grow here at BetterMost.

Toast, Paul and Fran,
You certainly are hard acts to follow.

It's been my pleasure sharing the load with you, Fran, and playing the game with you creative, witty, and inspirational playerz of the ABCz. You had me at "A".

It's a wonder Jack and Ennis didn't go crazy from the boredom in the those early days of one staying in camp and one staying with the sheep.

Wow Congratulations to all the ABC Players!  No BOREDOM here  Thanks for letting me play along.  300 rounds!  That's a lot of words and a lot of fun!.

Annie Proulx described Ennis's constructive abandonment in his marriage with Alma Beers:
"his propensity to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed".

def. Constructive Abandonment - the refusal of one spouse to engage in sexual relations with the other spouse. In some states and provinces this is considered grounds for divorce if lasting for a certain length of time.

=aside= Paul, Fran, Sandy, Dot, et al
Let's continue to be constructive.

Happy 300^th.

When Jack and Ennis were together, they were dreading the time of their parting.

Focus Features, which presented Brokeback Mountain, is the specialty films division of Universal Pictures, a division of NBC Universal, the U.S.-based film, television and recreation subsidiary of General Electric.

As plaintiff, Alma was the one who filed for divorce from Ennis.

[Front-Ranger]

The scene in the little court room was grim (in fact it was described that way in the screenplay).
