"Ennis woke in red dawn with his pants around his knees, a top-grade headache, and Jack butted against him; without saying anything about it, both knew how it would go for the rest of the summer, sheep be damned."  [story]

"X" is xcusing

Xcusing the killers of Earl and Jack is an affront to any spiritual view of society.

=comment=
Or more simply:  an affront to humanity, period.

"Brokeback screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana revealed they optioned Annie Proulx’s short story within a week of reading it in The New Yorker, had a script done three months later, then it took seven years to get the controversial picture made, with directors Gus Van Zant and Joel Schumacher attached to it before Lee."
-- Wolf Schneider, Inside Film Online

=clarification=
Gus Van Sant spells the last part of his name with an "S", not a "Z", as it's spelled in the quoted article.

=aside= Toast
Thank you!

=announcement= Players
Toast has used his creative talents to generate captioned photographs for Rounds 240 through 250.  With some editing help from the Mods, his special photos will grace the ABCs of BBM round announcements for these eleven rounds.  Players may still post round announcements, but the Mods will edit in Toast's photos.

Thanks for helping out the Modz here.
It's much appreciated.

"A" is asked
« Reply #6666 on: August 26, 2006, 11:21:56 pm »


Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Linda asked Ennis which postcard he was looking for in the postcard rack.  He replied: Brokeback Mountain! :)

[Note:  This "A" is the replacement for Ms. Toast's XXX'd "atop".]

=comment= BBM postcard
Whoever did that BBM postcard promotion in the visual above (no one from here) is not too brite in language.  They misspelled "Higgins" as "Higgin"! ::)

=aside= Fran
If Linda can't get U the postcard of BBM, then, trust me, her sister Fran will!  Hey, she got me this one to show U all!  Tanx to the Higgins Sisterz!! ;) :-* 

=response= BBM Pix
That's a wonderful announcement that Toast's terrific BBM photographs will adorn the ABCz announcement roundz from 240 to 250.  If U have an extra BBM pic, Linda would like one to hang at her gift shop.

Ennis hoped that calling Lureen would allay his worst fears.
