Why does the back of an Acura remind me of story Ennis?
« on: December 11, 2006, 01:48:51 am »
I was sitting in traffic behind an Acura the other day, and suddenly realized that it very much reminds me of story Ennis.  Can you tell me why? 

You have to know the story real good to get it.  And have to know what you see on the back of an Acura.

Quiz time? I love quizzes  ;D

First of all, you have to know what an Acura is  :)
I didn't know it, but looked it up and these cars are only available in North America, China and Hong Kong.

Since they have different types of cars that look all different, I'd guess it has something to do with the logo of the brand.

Hm. Do you refer to his "long caliper legs"?

Here's a pic of their logo:

Hmm,  was it a used Acura?

Because the earlier ones had model names on the trunks, not letter designations like today.

Perhaps was it an Acura "Legend" ??

There was also an Acura "Vigor" too.  But that would make you think of Jack not Ennis!    LOL.

Maybe Jack and Ennis together in a circle of their love?

To me the current Toyota emblem looks like a phallic symbol.

Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

Chrissi, you got it!  Never heard of an Acura, and STILL able to deduce the answer.  A true Brokie. :)

If you PM me an address, I have a small but cool BBM-related gift for you.  I've sent out a few of them to others here, and they seem to genuinely like them. 

Good work, Watson!!

Nothing is too far-stretched to remind us of our favourite cowboys.  :)

Damn, penthe!  With next to nothing except a car's hind-end as a clue, you nailed it.  That's incredible.
