newcomer from HBO with some questions!

Hi--I suppose Ennis hadn't the time, inclination or maybe even the money to get his headlight fixed. There was a game played in northern California about 1953--when two people were out on a date, and one saw a one-light car, he/she/he would try to say "Pedille!" before the other, and was supposed to be rewarded with a kiss.
How irrelevant can you get?
yeah, 1953...I'm 71.

Sounds sorta like the game we played while driving when I was a kid called "Punch Bug." Anybody heard of that one? Whenever you saw a VW bug, whoever yelled "Punch Bug!" first got to punch the other person in the arm. I grew up with some mighty bruised arms.

Welcome to BetterMost Kallyn! :D
Barb, I remember that game. But we didn't punch each other in the arm. We simply counted the number of VW bettles we saw. It was very easy to do. Back then there were so many of them. It seemed as if every other person on the road was driving a VW beetle. Because of this we would sometimes choose a certain color of beetle to count instead. It was a great way to help pass the time during our many trips from Indianapolis to Cincinnati. 2 hours can be a very long time to a 10 year old stuck in the back seat of a car.

First of all, WELCOME ABOARD! :D
Wow! I was just thinking about Ennis and that truck with the burnt out headlamp today!
I'm not sure if it was intentional or not. I can almost here the property master telling Ang Lee that there is a delay in filming because the lamp was burned out, then Ang shouts :" NO! that is perfect! It shows how poor Ennis is."
Or perhaps Ang Lee was using the one lamp to represent that Ennis was going thru life with one eye closed????
