Round 434 !!!!

Round 434
Let It Pour.

Ennis and Jack, the dogs, horses and mules,
a thousand ewes and their lambs
flowed up the trail like dirty water through the timber
and out above the tree line
into the great flowery meadows
and the coursing, endless wind.

"A" is assignments

Jack and Ennis have received their very detailed assignments, and head off up the mountain for "the journey of a lifetime."     [JPWagoneer]

"B" is baggage

Ennis carried up his few possessions in a paper bag, but he couldn't leave his emotional baggage behind.

"C" is curmudgeonly
« Reply #11693 on: March 08, 2007, 09:31:52 pm »
Jack and Ennis were glad to trade the curmudgeonly rumblings of Joe Aguirre for the gentle bleating of a thousand ewes.

"D" is directed

Jack and Ennis set up base camp as directed and spent the first night there, but - according to Annie Proulx - Jack was "already bitching about Joe Aguirre's sleep-with-the-sheep-and-no-fire order," even though he hadn't tried out the pissy pup-tent yet.

Brokeback Mountain was directed by Ang Lee.

"E" is edified

While being lonely and leading lives of frustration the majority of the time, both Ennis and Jack were edified during their infrequent meetings.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

A good portion of Brokeback Mountain is forested land.

Jack and Ennis could be said to have had a real highland fling up on Brokeback.

Joe Aguirre used paint brands to identify his sheep.
