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

Jack was very disappointed when Ennis gave him the brush-off after his divorce.

"The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light; the wind combed the grass and drew from the damaged krummholz and slit rock a bestial drone."  [story]

Cassie was a flirty flinger of hair, but she didn't fall in love with fun.

And what's the image of the real America through (Ennis' trailer) window? Why it's flat. It's a dreary rural wheatscape, if you will, with no features to interest the eye, no textures to assuage the soul. There's nothing interesting to it. It expresses someone's idea of repressed America, where gay men are forced to bury their personalities and violent conformism is the rule of the day.
To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, there's no there there.

"There were only the two of them on the mountain, flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours."  [story]

Jack was completely emotionally invested in Ennis.

Thanks for your good wishes on my 1000 posts. We're all batting a thousand right now.

Ennis and Jack went journeying all over Wyoming, looking for something they had never lost.

=aside= Fran
This post makes me think of our journeying from the ABCs.
And what always brought us all back.
It was/is someone we really appreciate (most of the time).
And a person we better not take for granted.
What keeps this game rolling is you Fran and your love for the game and for us.
Sometimes we resent that there are rules, but we could not reach 272 without a code of rules and a knowledgable "girl" to keep us on the straight and narrow.
Thank You Fran from my Toasty little heart.

Pre-Oscar buzz:

"Brokeback won the Producer's Guild award Sunday night.  Another kudo is a season of acclaim for Ang Lee's latest.  But might we, and the Academy, be ready to 'quit' on the gay cowboy romance?  Is Brokeback becoming a foregone conclusion, too early for its own good?"

Jack and Ennis tussled with a tangle of limbs.

Gyllenhaal and Ledger are both magnificent. Their scenes of passion have a masculine brute force, pent-up repression unleashed, passion unrestrained. Love Story by R Shulman

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy.
Your first 1000 is a magnificent thing.
I still have a cuban cigar.  Oops you're a lady though.
We eagerly await more of your double entendres.
This is my hand, my wine and a Labrador toast to you, my friend.
