Let's collect BBM backstories, shall we? My first one is about Old Man Twist (OMT). I got to thinkin about him over a tin cup of whiskey one day, and I decided not to drink Scotch whiskey any more, because OMT is obviously a Scotch/Irish/English skinflint (I can say this because I am a S/I/E skinflint myself) and Jack is so not his child. Even Ennis could tell you that--he didn't see any of Jack in either OMT or his wife, Mary Twist. Jack was actually the child of Mary's brother Harold and a young woman of French/Native American descent. Jack was born during WWII when Harold was off fighting in Europe, and his mother ran off, whereupon Mary took the boy in and raised him as her own (she was a virgin, Mary was, of course). But OMT never accepted the boy, never shared his tricks, never came to see him ride. That's why I'll be drinking bourbon whiskey from now on.
