"Q" is quidnunc

Alma must have seemed like a quidnunc to Ennis when she started asking him if he still went fishing with Jack Twist. Def: A nosy person; a busybody

We're going through this round like gangbusters.

"R" is rearview
« Reply #5271 on: July 30, 2006, 08:12:22 pm »

In 1963 Jack sized up Ennis at least twice in his rearview mirror. 

His longing for the man had only increased at the end of the summer.

"S" is summer

Jack and Ennis spent only one summer together on Brokeback.

=compliment= Prowl
Another one that I can't believe wasn't used. Jack and Ennis were the true "Boys of Summer".

Jack and Ennis held a slowburning torch for each other throughout the years.

"U" is understanding

Jack and Ennis came to an understanding on the mountainside that this would be a one-shot thing.

Ennis had instuctions to pass over the keys of the ranch, and vacate his trailer at the beginning of Annie Proulx's short story–then he would spend some time with his daughter, until another job showed up.

"W" is who
« Reply #5276 on: July 30, 2006, 10:31:22 pm »
This would be all right, Jack would answer, had to answer.
But he did not.
It was Lureen and she said who? who is this? and when he told her again she said in a level voice yes, Jack was pumping up a flat on the truck out on a back road when the tire blew up.   [short story]

Congrats on Post 700.

Lashawn yacked her way through dinner, through her dance with Jack, and was still at it as she and Lureen exited the club–did Randal ever get any peace? Can’t blame him for wanting to fish with Jack.

=comment=
I wouldn't mind "fishing" with Jack myself.   ;D

L.D. and Fayette Newsome visited Bobby Twist shortly after his zeroth birthday.

zeroth - Preceding even the first.

701 and I'm not done.
Thanks Everyone that played in this round.
We sailed through tonight.

It really was an outstanding round at lightning speed. We definitely made up for the one before it.
