The Brokie Connection (a game)

[BayCityJohn]

Johnny Appleseed was like Ennis, he refused to wear warm clothing in winter, preferring to go around in worn rags and with the minimum of footwear.

NEXT: Man in the Moon

John, loved the reminder of your concert in Bay City!!

Thank you Lee

Man in the Moon was a movie starring Reese Witherspoon.

Reese Witherspoon was unable to make her marriage work, just like Alma and Lureen in Brokeback Mountain.

That makes Man in the Moon Brokeish.

[Penthesilea]

It's an address in Riverton. Major Avenue in Riverton, WY. Thus,43.04°N 108.41°W is Brokieish .


Major Ave is not covered by google street view, so I don't know what exactly you have in mind. On Majoe Ave you can find a vet, a pet store, and Fremont Counseling Service. Wanna send Ennis there, so he'll finally see the light?
Oh, a possible lightbulb moment: is there a laundry with apartments above at that address?


Next: yoga

I was just thinking Riverton in general.

Next: yoga

Most practitioners of yoga have a mantra they repeat over and over to attain serenity.  Ennis's mantra was "If you can't fix it, you've got to stand it." Thus, yoga is Brokieish.

Next: Shakespeare

Interesting connection, friend.  Johnny Appleseed was also a Swedenborgian, like Jake's dad.

Next: Shakespeare

Shakespeare's wife was Anne Hathaway, and thus extremely Brokieish!

Next: "It's true"

[Sason]

Who was the other Brokeish performer at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival that night?

I'm wracking my brain, and can't come up with a connection. 

Hey guys!

Aren't you missing the most obvious??

SATURDAY NIGHT

John Prine
Mountain Heart
Over the Rhine

[Front-Ranger]

It's True! Mate-poaching is preferred to seeking singletons for partners, according to a study reported in New Scientist.

And in Brokeback Mountain, Jack was mate-poaching. Or was Alma? It's hard to say. Clearly, Lureen was.

So, It's True! is Brokeish.

NEXT: Tom Stoppard

Also, "It's True" is the title of Ryan Harrison's new album.  Ryan sang the lead vocals for "Meet Me on the Mountain".

Tom Stoppard wrote "The Invention of Love"--about pot AE Housman's repressed homosexuality (which starred Robert Sean Leonard, Richard Easton and David Harbour!--without the Randall beard), and to Jack and Ennis, love was indeed invented on Brokeback Mountain, and so, Tom Stoppard is at least doubly Brokieish. (I was fortunate to have seen this play on Broadway in 2001.  RSL won the Tony.)


Next:  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

[serious crayons]

Next:  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was different from, and therefore socially excluded by, all the other reindeer -- as Ennis feared he would be, on account of his own differences -- until the love of a good man gave Rudolph a sense of purpose and fulfillment, as it did for Ennis.

Also, elk -- a symbol of Jack's and Ennis' relationship -- and reindeer are both kinds of deer.

So, if you ever saw him, you would even say Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is doubly Brokieish!

Next: Batteries.
