"U" is underpinnings

From the get-go, the boys formed the underpinnings that led to their long relationship.

"V" is vaudeville
« Reply #6412 on: August 21, 2006, 01:34:10 pm »
In fact, “Brokeback Mountain” is like vaudeville where whites wore black face. Hollywood makes gays “acceptable” to the mainstream by ensuring only heterosexual actors play gay characters. Brokeback Mountain would've been better if Danny Pinatauro or Jonathan Taylor Thomas, male actors who have had virtually no career since coming out, had played these men struggling with sexual identity.     Bare-Back Mountain, analysis of sexual minstrelsy

"X" is xerophytes
« Reply #6414 on: August 21, 2006, 02:46:31 pm »
Botanists customarily classify coniferae -- a group of trees and shrubs which includes the lodgepole pines Proulx mentioned in Brokeback Mountain -- as xerophytes.

"Since the leaf-structure is markedly xerophilous in respect of thickened cuticle, sunken stomata, etc., it has been customary to regard the whole tree or shrub bearing these leaves as a 'xerophyte.'" 
-- R. H. Compton, "Xerophily in the Coniferae and Microphylly"

"Y" is yoking
« Reply #6415 on: August 21, 2006, 02:53:09 pm »
Watching the preview trailer of Brokeback Mountain - after enjoying the movie multiple times - is an excellent review of the yoking of Jack and Ennis.

def.  To join securely as if with a yoke; bind: partners who were yoked together for life.

"Drs." Twist and delMar had to contend with thorns stuck in sheeps' hooves and other forms of zoopathology.

"After the pie Alma got him off in the kitchen, scraped the plates and said she worried about him and he ought to get married again.  He saw she was pregnant, about four, five months, he guessed."  [story]

"B" is boiling

“The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward.”
