If you're going to wrestle and roughhouse with each other, always chose a scenic slope because it just looks so tousled and appealing when you roll and tumble down a hill and all over each other with all those denim legs and boots flying. Fighting...the cowboy foreplay.

When entering the tent of your new-found cowboy lover, it is polite to cover your bulging groin with your hat so as not to poke his eye out. (did anyone else notice this in that scene?)

Yes, it was a multi-purpose gesture to suggest humility/contrition and create a sense of mystery and expectation.

mmm. VERY interesting point. Firstly Monroe uses an electric knife, then he watches the figure skating, then he's useless in defending Alma when Ennis screams at her in the kitchen.

I wouldn't go so far as to call him 'gay' though. I mean, Ennis displayed none of the above characteristics did he? Ennis is the complete opposite of Monroe, maybe that's way Alma went for him.

I'd rather call Monroe a wuss/wimp/twat.

A punch in the face says "I love you." Try it.

Pictures taken in the 80s were clear, sharp, and bright. When you're mourning a departed loved one, take time to think about this.

Starboard is talking about the scene where Ennis in his truck roars into the parking lot of the laundry, which is his driveway... just missing a pedestrian who is moseying along on the sidewalk. He then goes into the apartment where Alma tells him he recieced a postcard from someone named "Jack".

A 30-30 is the only acceptable rifle for the modern cowboy. One must always check to make sure it is loaded before mounting a horse. Also, one must always make sure the hammer is not cocked, as an accidental discharge would ruin the leather carrying case that is always on the side of the horse facing the camera.

When you've just woken up from stemming the rose of your cowboy buddy for the first time, its ok to be cocking your rifle as your bud approaches. He'll never feel threatened like you are about to shoot him.


Also, if you decide to have a little tete-a-tete with your cowboy buddy after a day spent alone in introspection, its perfectly ok to approach your buddy with your loaded rifle and to casually point it at the ground. Again he'll have no thoughts of you wanting to shoot him.

Yeah -- where did that friggin' "pissant" line come from? It's not in the short story. Was this some harbinger of Jack's eventual fate? (I've never heard 'pissant' used as a euphemism for gay or qu**r before.)

"It was [Ennis's] own plaid shirt ... stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack's own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one." (from the short story)

OK, this is by far the best message board for (a) treating severe acute addiction to the movie (I'm an addict and have no desire to recover from it) and (b) forgetting the SAG awards fiasco Sunday night (yeah, I've read the posts on that forum, too -- I'm still p*ssed at Ledger and Gyllenhaal's performance, their apologists in that threat notwithstanding, but I'm even more p*ssed at the SAG).

If your Daddy looks kinda mad about something, even though you know he's probably not mad at you and your sister...when he asks you if you need a push on the swingset, just say no. He's pretty strong and centrifugal force is not something to test without the helmets that kids of the future will be wearing.

If you are a cowboy's wife, it is perfectly acceptable to ask, "You know someone by the name of Jack?" without specifying a last name and without taking into account that EVERYONE knows someone by the name of Jack.

When getting into a fight with your lover about his other sexual relationships, it is not necessary to specify that you know he seeks out prostitutes. The phrase "what they got in Mexico for boys like you" is understood by everyone.

If you are a cowboy's beard, it is not unusual to assume that his teeenage daughter is qualified to know whether you are the one that her father ought to marry.

First-time sex with a male lover is not allowed to be sweet or gentle. You must do it as roughly and quickly as possible to prove that you are manly; once you have proved this fact, you may kiss slowly and whisper to each other the next time.

If you feel like having a snuggly in broad daylight with your coworker, watch out for suspicious old men who might be watching. Suspicious old men need love too, and seldom have gorgeous cowboy lovers of their own. Pity them.

when dancing with a cowboy, talking non stop will not get you a date with him, but might get your husband a date; throwing your hair wildly from side to side will get you a few dates but will not get him to the alter; looking into his eyes and smiling confidently might get him to marry you, but only if you have sex with him faster than he can think.

In addition to "guns goin' off" (Jack, in the short story's version of the first love scene), McMurtry and Ossana should've also included "I sure wrang it out a hunderd times thinkin about you" (Ennis to Jack, in the short story's motel scene). These are great lines that add significantly to those scenes.

when a gay cowboy checks to see if the coffee is hot in the pot always use the top of the hand. this will keep the palms in top shape, which will be appreciated later.

Cowboy wives should wait until after they are divorced and remarried to accuse their former husbands of doing the "nasty" with a male friend. A major holiday is preferred for such confrontations.

1. It is perfectly acceptable, nay expected, to passionatly grab and tounge wrestle with a lover you haven't seen or heard from in 4 years. They will not only not take offence, but will in fact return this gesture vigorously!!!!

2.Don't forget to wipe your mouth and tuck your shirt back in when returning to the house with him to meet the wife after said tounge wrestling session!

3. When leaving for a "fishing trip" with your lover, it is ok to barely speak to your wife and even make stupid comments to avoid any questions. Eye contact should be avoided.

4. After pi!!ing, your cowboy buddy will be looking in your crotch area. Remember to show off your belt buckle!

5. When suddenly waking up surrounded by snow that wasn't there the night before, grab a blanket and run around stupified and confused

6. If you want cowboy love interest to notice you, bathe naked as close to him as possible. He will continue to peel potatoes and will try to sneak a glance at your goodies.

7. Never accept any offer of help when injured.

8. If you try to help an injured collegue, it will either be rejected or result in a black eye on your part!

9. When wife accuses you of not going on fishing trips to fish, it is perfectly ok to take your anger out on someone who nearly runs you over!!! You will probably end up getting the s!it kicked out of you though so BEWARE!

10. Always rub the sweaty, dirty feet of any woman who plonks them in your lap!

11. Flirting with rodeo clowns can be dangerous. They may take great offence and even talk about you behind your back!

12. When arguing with cowboy lover, it is best not to mention you have been sleeping with male prostitutes in mexico. This can only make the argument worse.

13. Drink and smoke ALL the time! Any cowboy who doesn't, isn't a man!

14. Singing badly will always get you a tin pot percussion from cowboy colleague.

15. If advances aren't working, subtly suggest to cowboy collegue that you "haven't had chance to sin". That'll get his motor running!!!

16. Never discard even broken musical instruments. The off key playing will only make your love interest more in love with you!

Anyone think of anymore???

I really really really love this thread!!!

1. Asking a cold colleague into your tent, will certainly lead to both of you being warmed up!!

2. After a night of rough sex, never speak or even look at your lover.

3. When unhappy, the manly cowboy will sit on the hill alone and sulk.

4. Never say anything when a look or gesture will do. At most say "huh" or "hmm"

5. Always drink out of a cup your fellow cowboy has used to shave in

6. Always stick your foot, completly in the fire.

7. When cowboy colleague successfully shoots an elk, a rough punch and push is expected.

8. Sheep should always be carried whenever possible. If you can't, dragging by hind legs is acceptable.

9. Arguements in front of children should always be followed by a kind gesture towards them such as "you girls need a push" if they are on swings for example.

10. Kick things when you are annoyed. It helps and it makes you look manly!!

11. After night of rough sex, the modern cowboy will lie all night with his trousers round his knees and all other clothes on (including boots). Only pull said trousers up in the morning when leaving.

When your moustache disappears and then reappears, the conscious cowboy will hold up a sign saying "I'm having a flashback now" so that the average viewer will know this is a flashback, and not an editing error or other such goof.

So true - the first time I saw BBM that's exactly what I thought - editing goof. Big one! I did not realize that was a flashback. Don't ask me why. Lack of sideburns in flashback scene should have tipped me off....
But now, 4 viewings later (that's a total of 5), and many many many (SO mnay) visits to this board later, I know the truth!

Some of my favorites:

Color of cowboy hat and horse should differ lest one appear too 'matchy.' Black hat with palomino, or white hat with roan mare are acceptable.

Brush up on weird ass jargon like "stemming the rose" and "on the QT" and "pair of deuces" before applying for a job.

Be careful to enunciate clearly so that "goin' fishin'" doesn't come out "goin' *beep* .

Objects in your sideview mirror may appear smaller,farther away and much sadder than you could ever imagine.

leave no doubt about the heterosexuality of producers, script writers, director, and principal actors by having spurned gay cowboy, played by gorgeous hollywood leading male star, hook-up with troll-like mexican prostitute and actually get rejected by troll-like rodeo clown.


cowboys with moles on their faces are gay. the one with the fewest moles will top the other.


when a gay cowboy knows that sexual congress with his beard is imminent, it is advisable to sit on the edge of the bed feigning exhaustion while showing a little butt cleavage, with the eyes closed. listen to beard's demands to up scale living quarters and engage in foreplay to deflect those demands, with the eyes closed. turn off the lights when it becomes impossible to further delay proving avowed heterosexuality, with the eyes closed. ignore beard’s entreaties to "come here", flip her over and perform "coitus in ano" with the eyes closed. at this point a jump cut with suggestive commentary will occur: "let her rip and snort boys." the gay cowboy will be instantly transported back to a tent on a mountain in wyoming that is really in alberta with male beloved's face burned into his mind. at this point it is safe to open the eyes. this will ensure the gay cowboy will not "whip babies" between fishing trips.

I have a question about some cowboy stuff. Hopefully somebody can answer it. I read the story before the film and neither it nor the film answered it.

Why is it necessary to take sheep (or any animal) up into the mountains when they could do just as well sitting on a farm? I assume this is a common practice.

Acceptable forms of address include "Cowboy," "Friend," and "Bud."
For women, your choices are more limited, and usually restricted to a simple "ma'am."

Free food. They keep moving the sheep while the weather is good enough and grass is growing, always moving to fresh food. Keeping them penned in means bringing (bought, usually) food to them.

sheep are extremely destructive to the grass they graze. there have been major wars in the past between cattlemen and sheep farmers. sheep eat down into the root and it takes a very long time for the grass to recover. sheep may even kill the grass they graze. cattle do not do this, they eat only the stalk and not the roots so the grass recovers quickly. where cattle ranching is long established it is hard for sheep farmers to get the best pasture and they will quite often end up on distant and inhospitable range disdained by cattle ranchers.

Always situate your kids' swing-set directly in the exhaust path of laundromat gas dryers. The carbon monoxide will keep them playing quietly, immune from trauma caused by screaming arguments with the wife, and eliminate any need for your assistance with their playtime activities.

This thread is one of my all-time favorites. Because I can never think of any myself, I'm re-posting a few more I love:

When your moustache disappears and then reappears, the conscious cowboy will hold up a sign saying "I'm having a flashback now" so that the average viewer will know this is a flashback, and not an editing error or other such goof.

If your Daddy looks kinda mad about something, even though you know he's probably not mad at you and your sister...when he asks you if you need a push on the swingset, just say no. He's pretty strong and centrifugal force is not something to test without the helmets that kids of the future will be wearing.

When a stranger visits your home, decides to rummage through a family member's closet and take an item of clothing without permission, it is expected that you should offer a paper bag for him to take said item home.

Bartenders, when asked by a patron to identify a young lady who has been shooting come-hither glances at said patron all night, will thoughtfully furnish not only the young lady's name, but also her daddy's financial status.

"Fishing" is a unviersally understood, gay cowboy code word for sex. This code word works in both Texas and Wyoming. Occasionally "hunting" may be understood to mean the same thing.

When propositioning a new cowboy acquaintance, it is considered more refined to build up to suggestions of "fishing" with talk of whiskey and crawpey houses, whatever they may be.

When, deep down, you suspect your cowboy husband is having an affair with another man, avoid facing the issue by diving headlong into book-keeping and accounting. This is the cowboy wife equivalent to drowning one's sorrows in drink. Caveat: this requires a certain financial stability, ideally springing from a successful family business in farm machinery.

If you happen to be a poor Wyoming cowboy wife, it's best to strangle on your hurt and anger for at least 8 years, before taking action, such as filing for divorce. An additional two years are adviseable before confronting said husband about his gay love affair.

Younger children may disappear fromsecond half of film. Expect no explanation, as none will be given. The occasional mention of the absent child's name will suffice to indicate her continued existence. Male children may not be grant4ed this courtesy.

Thanksgiving is the preferred time to invite your ex-husband over and out him in your kitchen.

Taking creative liberties with your ex-husband's lover's name is appreciated (i.e. Jack Nasty instead of Jack Twist), especially when your ex-husband takes similar liberties with his lover's name (i.e. Jack *beep* Twist).

When hearing screaming, crying, and general commotion in your kitchen, where your wife and her ex are doing the dishes, it is best to ignore the situation. Don't get up and see what is going on, and above all, do not go make sure that your wife is alright. Instead, remain seated in living room, smoking a cigar and drinking brandy. Feign attentiveness only when wife's violent ex-husband storms out of house. This polite overlooking of the situation - and of your wife's well being - will be much appreciated.

When you discover your husband is having an affair with another cowboy, the prudent cowboy wife will wait at least 10 years to confront said husband. Remember to allow a minimum of two years between divorcing your husband and confronting him about his affair and his homosexuality. This will give you time to collect your thoughts, and prepare what to say.

There are some amazing posts on this thread! Thanks for the laugh!

I'll attempt a few:

- Jumping up and down ridiculously while mimicking a drunken rodeo clown will definitely fetch you some brownie points; it will definitely ensure that the cowboy object of your affections is looking and smiling at you for a good few minutes.

- When replying to postcards from a lover you havent seen for few years, it is best to follow the 'no more than 2 or 3 words' rule - it is a sure way to keep them wondering about you and wanting more!

- When going on fishing trips with a secret cowboy lover, please please please, whatever you do, dont forget your fishing net and creel case in front of your wife!!

When greeting or bidding your two daughters goodbye, you may kiss only one of them. Choose wisely.

When leaving on "fishing trips," it is perfectly acceptable not to kiss your wife goodbye, or even say "See you later." It's best to just ignore her as much as possible. She'll repay your adherence to this rule of cowboy ettiquette by helpfully reminding you to take along your creel case, which you have forgotten in your eagerness to leave and meet your lover.

Ministers conducting wedding ceremonies are expected to make lame jokes, which will be politely tittered at by those in attendance.

The typical cowboy honeymoon consists of 1 day of sledding down a snowy mountain with your bride.

The only time it is permissible for a cowboy to wear headgear other than a cowboy hat is when shoveling asphalt, in which case a baseball cap is considered the proper topper.

When ending a relationship with a girlfriend, the best modus operandi is to simply drop off the face of the earth. A good ways to accomplish this include ignoring any notes and messages she leaves for you. Whatever you do, do not tell her you are leaving. Eventually she will get the hint, and hook up with a rebound beau who "even talks." Good for her.

Should your spurned girlfriend confront you, place the blame on her, alluding to her rebound beau and telling her you "got the hint." Do not acknowledge the fact that it was you who terminated the relationship.

Be circumspect when answering questions about your recent whereabouts. "Here and there" is the most suitable reply to questions like "Where ya been?"

If your marriage ends because you have been cheating on your wife with your cowboy lover, and because you have been generally unattentive and sullen, it is adviseable to act as though you were the injured party, and lay blame for the dissolution of the marriage on your wife. If said (ex-)wife inquires whether you intend to remarry, you may reply in the negative, explaining, "once burned." After all, she divorced you. And you can't imagine why.

OK - Lucise - you've inspired me! I'll give it a try!

- When going on a fishing trip, the considerate cowboy actually removes the price tag from his rod and creel case, reads wife's note, and acknowledges note to wife upon return. If no fishing occurs on the said trip, cowboy stops at market and brings home some 'brownies' (trouts) for wife and girls, who he knows loves them.

- When eating Thanksgiving dinner with the ex-wife and her whimpy new husband, the polite cowboy refrains from intentionally making the new husband look even less manly by commenting on the electric carving knife or ice skating on tv.

How about another? Ok, why the hell not :)

When expecting a visit from long-lost cowboy lover, get 3 packets of ciggies and as many cases of beer as you can carry; sit by an open window and smoke/drink to your nervous heart's content, then pass out on the couch completely surrounded by empty beer bottles. WHen said cowboy lover arrives and french kisses you, trust me, the beer taste in your mouth will be the sweetest honey he ever tasted!

EnnisLovesJack - you and Lucise are on a roll!

- While it's typically considered polite to groom oneself in private, it is permissable for a cowboy to shave out of a cup, using a side-mirror to see, when applying for a job herding sheep.

- Any glaces at fellow cowboys applying for said job should be sideways and barely noticable except to the camera viewing audience. Fellow cowboy should keep his hat low and eyes averted so as not to see he's being watched.

Ok..what the heck, I cant stop thinking of more of these things :)

- After enjoying a summer of sheep-herding and 'intense couplings' with your cowboy lover, the best way to deal with the situation is by turning down all offers for financial assistance he makes, sulking up a hill and punching said-lover's lights out when he tries to show you some affection. This is a sure way to try to separate yourself from him forever. (NOT!)

- Whatever you do, wherever you go, no matter how desperate you are: DO NOT (I repeat, DON'T) hit on a sinister-looking, bizarro terd of a rodeo clown! That will be lower than hitting rock bottom, especially when you are still pining for your unavailable yet handsome, 'strong-silent-type', macho cowboy lover.

- If you have a neighbor called Joe or Aguirre who owns a pair of binoculars, CALL THE POLICe!

We (all of crazy Brokies) are going to have to rent a huge theater somewhere, and watch it together, first in quiet, respectful, silence and sobbing, and then a second time, where everyone says every line of the dialogue right along with the movie!

And yes, you can dress like your favorite character (of course). You can also bring props (cowboy hats, belt buckles, whisky bottles, etc.), but actual sheep or livestock of any kind are forbidden.

One more try here -

- The polite cowboy will never refuse the offer to rub the tired, smelly feet of his waitress. Since the stoic cowboy spends his mornings castrating calves and is thus used to unpleasant odors and body parts, he is hardly fazed by such bizarre request.

Whilst kneeling by a stream, your cowboy lover may, from time to time, query you as to how “relations” are with your missus. He may then express insecurity that his homosexuality may have been discovered by others. It is prudent NOT to point out the obvious: that said lover grabbed you and frenched you on the street in broad-daylight years ago and that the odds of nobody seeing (other than his wife) were remote and that, furthermore, 10 to 12 years is probably an acceptable time for the gossip to have been passed on.

When seducing your friend who, you’re not even sure is gay, grabbing his hand and putting it onto your erect appendage, really ought to be enough to do the trick.

When having a moment of tenderness and seducing him again the following night, it helps the proceedings immensely if you are shirtless and have enormous baby-blue eyes and are bathed in an attractive, flattering yellowy-glow.

Whispering between hesitant cowboys is very sexy, because it ignites mass discussion on the internet about what was ACTUALLY said.

And I like the idea of watching it again immediately following the first viewing. Think how soothing and comforting it'd be to go from crying for Jack and Ennis, to watching them fall in love all over again. Yum.

And yes, you can dress like your favorite character (of course). You can also bring props (cowboy hats, belt buckles, whisky bottles, etc.), but actual sheep or livestock of any kind are forbidden.

I must admit, since Brokeback Mountain I have an insatiable craving for cowboy boots. Too bad I can't afford them right now. But someday, they will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.
Also kind of want a cowboy hat, though not sure how I'd look in one.

You know it would be awesome to have the equivalent of an IMDB board Brokies (or, heck, all Brokies) family reunion! 'Course we'd all be meeting for the first time.

When having a moment of tenderness and seducing him again the following night, it helps the proceedings immensely if you are shirtless and have enormous baby-blue eyes...
Whispering between hesitant cowboys is very sexy, because it ignites mass discussion on the internet about what was ACTUALLY said.
Chattering your teeth on a cold night may just lead to getting laid.

Sheyne, love these. LOL. Whispering between cowboys is sexy, period.

I have had a longing for cowboy boots before BBM..and now, I actually have 5 pairs! :D The other day, I went to the theatre to watch BBM and I was wearing my deadly black cowboy boots. I was sitting outside, waiting to enter the theatre, then this guy sitting beside me commented on how hot these boots were, and then he said - "lemme guess, you are going to watch brokeback mountain?!"..what a proud brokie i was at that moment.

But I digress, this is a cool thread, everyone should check it out!

Before BBM, I had 4 pairs, and after BBM, I actually had to go get another pair I had been eyeing for a while. I was in Europe last December and I bought 2 pairs in Amsterdam! I live in the prairies in Canada, so there is no shortage of boots here either :D

When your wife obliquely questions your sexual orientation, the proper response is to punish yourself in some dramatic way. Dancing with an overtalkative neighbor lady, though possibly boring, does not make as strong a statement as getting someone to beat you up.

* When faced with a difficult situation, or when confronting someone, or when you are just plain p!ssed off, NEVER use the words: "this is a godd!mn b!tch of an unsatisfactory situation"; unless you wish to - a)feel completely self-conscious or b)start giggling and risk looking like an imbecile.

* If you have a cowboy lover, try not to 'put the blocks' on any barmaids (or waitresses in general), no matter how eager they are, especially when you are only interested in your cigarette when she is dancing with you.

A couple more:

When cleaning a shirt in a stream, it is important to be nude, save for your boots. And three smacks with a small sodden stick is all the cleaning a shirt requires.

When undertaking an illicit gay affair in the mountains, let discretion be the better part of valour. Simply put, don't jump your shirtless lover's bones OUTSIDE the tent, lest your homophobic employer happens to be spying on you through the binoculars.

When washing your privates out in the open where your partner can see you, always keep your cowboy hat on.

When entering a tent where your partner is already lying down, good manners dictate that you remove your hat and cover any bulge that might be showing in the crotch area of your jeans.

When a foreman picks up his phone halfway and just stares at you, it means you're dismissed from his trailer.

Improving your horse-riding skills will result in better lovemaking skills

When you suspect your cowboy husband is being unfaithful, don't throw away or tear up the postcards he keeps getting from his secret lover.

When kicking back on the sofa, prop your bare feet up on the coffee table for maximum comfort.

To best seduce a drunk cowboy in a bar, force him to watch you dance. Hair-whippage is a plus.

When streaking out the door with boyfriend, it is most cordial to offer wife some smokes
More like: Always have an extra pack of smokes ready for the misses. lol

An ungrateful woolie may give a fair imitation of 'The Worm' breakdance on the back of a cowboy's head as he carries it to safety. This can be embarassing. However, a good cowboy will never drop said ungrateful woolie on its head in the river.

Your whiskey bottle will disappear into thin air during impromptu rodeo demonstrations. Just hold tight because it always reappears at a later time.

Even the horse with a high startle point will be startled by half-naked, sexy cowboys chasing and wrestling each other to the ground. The horse with the low startle point will be totally freaked out and want to leave immediately.

If you suspect that your 'ranch stiffs' are 'stemming the rose' on your time, squint your eyes a lot when you speak to either of them, but never just burst out with what you know straight away. Save it for much later. Ditto for a cowboy's wife.

Under no circumstance should you approach a stranger and introduce yourself if you find yourselves waiting in the same employment line. This is especially important if said stranger looks exactly like you in age, build, dress, etc. The appropriate behavior is to hide behind your hat brim. If you later find yourself feeling friendly towards said stranger, the appropriate way to express yourself is to make fun of his harmonica playing and marksmanship. If all else fails, pick a fight and deck the guy while he is trying to nurse your nosebleed.

Women in Wyoming and Texas have absolutely NO gaydar. Hence they frequently marry gay cowboys, unawares.

If you are an attractive, gay, big-blue-eyed cowboy, avoid batting your thick black lashes at straight men in bars. They may take offense, refuse offered drinks, and sass you.

If your bar-room advances are rebuffed, the nearest bartender will step in to distract you from the rejection by suggesting you try a new occupation. Say, calf-ropin'.

When a cowboy sneaks off with his buddy and has to make excuses to suspicious wife, stick a tooth brush in your mouth when lying, making sure to stare at toothbrush. This keeps you from tripping up when giving BS answers to wife.

I was just listening to a song by Big & Rich - "save a horse, ride a cowboy"; and guess what I thought about? You got it!

More nuances of cowboy etiquette, let me see:

- Even though cowboys remove their hats when jumping over cliffs in the nude and skinny deeping in a lake...they however reserve the right to keep hats ON while bathing infront of potential lovers (as long as their eyes are hidden, who cares what else is exposed?)

- Thanks to Jack and Ennis, Fishermen everywhere will have NO job credibility for a long, long time to come!

Lets hear some more folks! :D

> Its perfectly acceptable to have sex fully clothed, just slip down pants a little. Keep boots on all the time.

- However, if sex, bathing, or other activity has taken place in the nude, the cowboy hat always goes on first when dressing.

- When teasing a fellow herder in the process of said dressing, always run off with his shirt, never the hat.

- You are free to cuss out any bartender who second-guesses your career choice (or sexual preference).

"All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned On Brokeback Mountain"

By: Robert Fulgham, Larry McMurtry & John F. Kennedy

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Wyoming. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain but at the top of Brokeback Mountain. These are the things I learned..

Share everything, including your sleeping bag.
Play fair, you don’t always get to be on top.
Texans don't drink coffee.
Don't hit people unless they keep turning the damn game on during dinner.
If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it.
Don't read things that aren't yours.
Say sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat, especially if you just spit on them.
You can't make it on a coupla high-altitude *beep* once or twice a year.
Flush & leave the seat up.
What you can't change, you've just got to ride out.
Warm beans and cold whiskey are good for you.
Take a nap every afternoon, let the dogs watch the sheep.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we if we get caught.
There ain't never enough time, never enough.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world had whiskey and beans about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down in our sleeping bags for a nap. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others. So, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

When herding woolies, make sure you sleep with the sheep, 100%.

When wrangling a herd of sheep, be sure to carry at least one, token sheep, while the others walk. You may carry said sheep in your arms, over your shoulders, or stow it in your saddle bag.

After parting with your reticent new cowboy lover, allow up to four years before attempting contact. Lest you seem too eager.

If possible, marry and have a child first.


"Uh...it's too late to go back to the sheep...up there."

When your straight and gay worlds are about to collide, tuck the back of your shirt firmly into your pants, to regain composure and "batten down the hatches".



(Thanks to latjoremekeed's brilliant insight, the source for this bit of ettiqutte wisdom. See his inspired explanation of Ennis's compulsive shirt tucking habit on the thread "Ennis and his shirt habbit," which can be found at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/board/flat/37654969?d=37733161#37733161 )

Keep on' bumpin, cowboys!

I apologise in advance if these are crude: :D

* If you are the wife of a cowboy who loves 'to fish', make sure that his main 'fishing buddy':
- Does NOT have the ability to mysteriously incite bouts of heavy-breathing in your husband; and
- Does NOT look like sex on legs; and
- Does NOT look like Jack f---ing Twist for that matter!

* Although high-altitude f--ks are highly recommended for hot rodeo cowboys, they must however be administered in large numbers for complete satisfaction. (talk about sexual healing for cowboys!) ;)

If your red hot cowboy lover offers lifetime committment, find excuses.

When your little girl has left your place, after telling you she is getting married, and leaves her sweater behind, look out the door to see if you can catch her to give it to her even if she left so long ago that she is probably *miles* away by now...

Not crude at all. I love these, Lucise. I thought the heavy breathing Ennis&Alma scene was kinda funny, too. She's practically orgasming over trying to seduce him into moving to town, oblivious to the fact that her feminine charms are futile with Ennis.

I also dig your high-altitude *beep* prescription. Take as needed, take often.

If you can't sleep at night, repeat these words over and over:
I'm sorry, S'alright, Ennis, c'mere...

Whenever I watch that scene, I keep thinking 'He is probably thinking about Jack at that very moment, wishing it was Jack caressing his neck like that'...
Poor Alma! :)

...Oh and yes...Jack Nasty IS sex on legs!! :^D

Bumpety bump.

Mountain ranges must have funny names. Brokeback, the Grand Tetons, and the Big Horns are examples of acceptable mountain monikers.

* When assigned to the domestic duties in a cowboy camp for two, it's in your responsibility to ensure a balanced nutrition for your fellow cowboy. A strict vegetarian diet with a predominance of pulse (e.g. beans) is to be avoided as it might lead to increased airpressure that will eventually make it’s way out of diverse orifices of the body. This, in combination with musical instruments unprofessionally applied to said orifices, is very likely to cause everybody involved immense pain.

* Younger cowboys who are still in their growth are known to be very very hungry after they come back from sheep herding. The caring camp tender will make sure that some meat is served at least once in a while. Doing so, he should by all means avoid to appear petty. Cowboy: don't make do with a small animal. Rabbits and sheep are for Sissies. Be sure to come up with something more impressive, ideally an elk! We want some leftovers for the next day, don’t we?

* Elk-meat ist best served fresh. If his friend is a critical consumer the responsible cowboy will let him take part in the preparation process, starting with the killing, in order to assure him of the quality of the used products.

* With elk meat, no side dishes are needed. Avoid excessive seasoning (= be sparing with condiments). Serve with butt-warm whiskey.

* Some parsley as decoration would be desirable, yet is not obligatory. The lack of it can be made up for with some extra-attention for the guest after dinner.

Bon Apetit!

* When planning to have sex with his buddy in the middle of nowhere, the dutiful cowboy is expected to choose the location for this carefully. Note: there should be enough room for at least one camera crew, even if we are dealing with confined spaces such as tents. To make things easier for said crew, pay attention to the lighting! There should be at least a camp fire or a full moon. Be prepared to repeat things when the film people didn't like your performance.

* When jumping on each other in the open nature, cowboys should make sure to be well visible from all directions. Remember: older beer-bellied men might be sitting somewhere in the woods with their binoculars. It would be very unkind indeed to deprive them of their well earned diversion, especially when they are the cowboys' employers.

Talk directly into the whiskey bottle: "Never taught me a thing, never once come to see me ride." "But as far as our marriage goes, we could do it over the phone."
