XXX - quid pro quo
« Reply #5830 on: August 08, 2006, 04:12:16 pm »
The rules specify one-word answers.  The word "quid" was played in Round 114 by Memento (Sandy), and the word "quo" was played in Round 137 by ThePirateBride.

We need a new "Q" word.

"Q" is quids
« Reply #5831 on: August 08, 2006, 04:20:26 pm »
The boys exchanged quids pro quo: Ennis tried ordering soup instead of beans, and offered to sleep in the cat-piss tent; Jack was entertaining and taught Ennis in the ways of love.

(dictionary.com lists quids pro quo as alternative plural)

=comment= Playerz
Next up is "Z".

Being together was the be-all and end-all for Jack and Ennis.

=aside= Paul
Thanks for the stats. We redlined it all the way.
Second place isn't exactly chopped liver.

"C" is camera
« Reply #5837 on: August 08, 2006, 06:25:55 pm »

Rodrigo Prieto - Cinematographer Brokeback Mountain

From the opening sequence, Rodrigo Prieto’s camera wordlessly sets the scene of Signal, Wyoming; its spectacular backdrop of state-owned mountains being used illegally as summer pasture for sheep, are the perfect metaphor for the twin notions of “following the rules we like” and “just don’t get caught.”      Quiet mastery .. JWR.

"The mountain boiled with demonic energy, glazed with flickering broken-cloud light..."
(From the short story)
