"C" is crimson

Lureen wore a lurid crimson cowboy hat with a matching band (according to Paul, and he should know!!)

Thanks for joining us yesterday!

Note: I spelled it that way on purpose!

While sitting on her horse, and wearing her hat, and scoping out Jack, Lureen exhibited an air of determinedness.

"E" is ennui
« Reply #8152 on: November 01, 2006, 06:17:40 pm »
Ennis staved off ennui on the mountain by whittling a wooden horse.

def='ennui' is French for 'boredom'; it has been appropriated into the English language as a word to express that concept.

"F" is flagrant

Alma captured Jack and Ennis in flagrant delicto.

def = in the very act of commiting a misdeed, red handed. Literally, while the crime is blazing.

"G" is genuinely

"Brokeback Mountain should be appreciated first and foremost as a heartbreaking romantic epic, a genuinely moving story about repressed desire that transcends any boundaries the various cultural warriors will want to impose on it."

"H" is hoi

Most of the characters of Brokeback Mountain could uncharitably be referred to as the hoi polloi.

"I" is itchy

Jack would get itchy feet if he went too long a period without seeing Ennis.

"J" is jewel

From a customer review of Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay at Amazon.com:

"It is equally marvellous to see how McMurtry and Ossana took this lump of gold and forged it into a jewel of a screenplay (one that laid around in Hollywood desk drawers quite a while as the best unfilmable script around)."

"K" is kissability
« Reply #8158 on: November 01, 2006, 07:04:03 pm »
Jack's kissability factor goes way up when he stands up, retrieves the red hat and slightly stumbles as another horse gallops by.

I am considering becoming even more Taoistic.
But I might have to give up my computer.
As Jack would say, "Shit, that's hard."

"L" is lift

Ennis would always get a big lift from seeing Jack on one of their "fishing trips."
