An article in the February 24, 2006, Taipei Times:

'Brokeback Mountain' sets good example, Chen says
By Chang Yun-ping, Staff Reporter

President Chen Shui-bian yesterday used the Oscar nominated movie Brokeback Mountain as an analogy to describe relations between the US and Taiwan, stressing the importance of both sides seeking ways to reconcile and cooperate with one another to reach the common pursuit of a "great new world."

L.D. Newsome is pompous and arrogant, but has an underwhelming personality.

The next letter is "Z".

"Z" is zigzaggedness
« Reply #6892 on: August 31, 2006, 10:43:24 pm »
Annie Proulx listed the mountains visited by Ennis and Jack, showing the zigzaggedness of their trips around Wyoming.

"A" is aversion
« Reply #6894 on: August 31, 2006, 11:07:55 pm »
Ennis loved Jack and certainly enjoyed spending time with him, but he had a strong aversion concerning letting his sexual preference become known.

"B" is burner
« Reply #6895 on: August 31, 2006, 11:12:57 pm »
"Ennis del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames.  The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft.  He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan; the flame swathes it in blue."  [story]

"C" is catching
« Reply #6896 on: August 31, 2006, 11:15:45 pm »
From then on, Del Mar and Twist return to the mountain every few months, pretending to fish and hunt but catching only themselves.       Quiet mastery .. JWR.

"D" is diminished

Though Jack's tolerance for cold weather diminished with time, his love for Ennis did not.

"E" is era
« Reply #6898 on: September 01, 2006, 12:35:10 am »
"Set in an era before AIDS, support groups or that Jerry Springer episode, 'My Husband Has a Gay Cowboy Lover,' when Ennis' wife (Michelle Williams) discovers his secret, she represses it, heartsick for years, with no point of social reference to base any decisions on. The isolation worked both ways, as the two lovers were just as bereft of support."

"F" is forgotten

Scene:  Higgins Gift Shop

Linda Higgins (U know her, don'tcha) had forgotten to order more postcards of Brokeback Mountain -- until Ennis del Mar appeared and inquired about it.  "That Gyrl" threw out that Mr. Coffee filter in the trash so fast, hopped behind the counter and used her place-an-order pen lickety split!


=aside= DeeDee :laugh:
Thanx 4 the call & thanx 4 the laugh.
At least U know ur outfit color: red!
Dre asked "Shouldn't it be black"?
He said that U are a "B" like me.
I told him: U oughta know "B"!
Honey Babe, he luvs his "B"s!
Meanwhile he laughed krazy!
