The Brokie Connection (a game)

[Ellemeno]

I was thinking Roberta Maxwell as the Judge.  But that's more for the six degrees game. 

Wow, I didn't know that.  I saw it so many years ago.

Next: a paper clip

A paper clip can be twisted and torqued back to its original shape, just like a wire hanger.

Thus, a paper clip is Brokieish.

Next:  Queen Victoria

My guess was Michelle Williams' recent interview:

"Brokeback Mountain was an unrepeatable moment in time, a very charmed time in my life," she tells Vogue. "I was in love. I was in a movie I was proud to be a part of, and with a beautiful brand-new baby. Everything was good in that moment.”

When he died, she struggled to cope.

"I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter," she says. "I didn’t know if I could keep it all together… You console yourself by saying it’s all a deepening process. But it’s wired. After the first year, the pain is less intense -- it’s less immediate. But the magical thinking goes away too. And that’s a whole new reckoning."

I didn't have a plan for "paper clip."  Wanted to see what you all would come up with.  Good one, both a ya's.

Queen Victoria:


Queen Elizabeth II is the daughter of King George VI, who was the son of George V, who was the son of Edward VII, who was the son of Queen Victoria; hence, Elizabeth II is descended from Queen Victoria's son Edward VII.

Elizabeth's mother (the Queen Mother Elizabeth)  drank a lot. She was known as "Gin Lizzie"

thusly, Queen Victoria is Brokeish in a roundabout convoluted way.

Next:  Elton John

Elaboration, from Wikipedia

The Yule Goat is one of the oldest Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbols and traditions. Yule Goat originally denoted the goat that was slaughtered around Yule, but it may also indicate a goat figure made out of straw. It is also used about the custom of going door-to-door singing carols and getting food and drinks in return, often fruit, cakes and sweets. "Going Yule Goat" is similar to the British custom wassailing, both with heathen roots.

I am a fan of Heath Ledger, a/k/a "Heathen"

So the Yule Goat is very Brokeish.

LOL! That's pretty good too, John!!

Just one thing.
Wiki describes it as if people do this door-to-door going nowadays.
That's NOT the case!!!

It's an old rural tradition, at least from the 1800s.

Good!  I was thinking of the Alberta connection.

Elton John's famous song "Candle in the Wind" is about Marilyn Monroe, who Michelle is reportedly considering playing in a new film.

Very good!!  I was thinkin' of the Bernie Taupin connection.

Only thing I can think of offhand about Cher is her never-ending farewell tour which is like our never-ending forum discussions about Brokeback.

That is not my answer though ^^^

Of course!  Duh!

You can do better than that!

^^^^^ sorry. I'm at work

Let's see...


Cher's daughter wants a sex change operation (Doctors say it should be an easy one since they actually thought at first she wanted to change into a woman), and in an unpublished version of Brokeback Mountain, Alma Jr. undergoes sexual reassignment surgery.

I give up.
