I got her an inflatable horsie she can bounce on. Fun!
You're trying to turn her into a cowgirl, aren't you? Admit it!!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
As an uncle, it's my *job* to corrupt them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now I want a t-shirt with the two cowboys from Broken Back Mountain, with a caption that says, "I caught the gay from the Hollywood Liberal Elite!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"I went to Brokeback Mountain, and all I got was this stupid t-shirt and Teh Gay."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
If only this movie were capable of turning people gay—there are a couple of guys who would be on my list to drag to it at earliest opportunity.

I'm saying that's either parody or a fictional entry created to stir shit.

Here's a cheery bit of statistical trivia:
Calculations based on the amount of barley used for brewing in Conventry during the 1520s indicate that the average consumption of ale was 17 pints of strong ale a week for every man, woman, and child in the town. Statistics for English consumption of beer late in the seventeenth century indicate an annual consumption per person of 832 pints. To put this figure in context, in 1976 the amount was only 209 pints, one fourth the earlier figure.

Here's the original (as far as I can tell) Brokeback post: [link]
It's not even posted by a Meghan Thompson. It's posted by a guy from West Hollywood, named JonMark (profile): [link] .
I'm much more firmly in the parody corner, now.

This one predates that, Cindy. If it's a hoax, it's an awfully elaborate one.
[eta: On closer read, my link isn't exactly the same story as the other one. My guess is that the latter one is an exaggerated parody of the original.]

I saw that whenever it first went around here, Jess. That's a different issue. That's someone who did identify as gay, and who no longer does, talking about what he interprets as the film's agenda, and claiming he got a phone call from someone.
It's a far cry from a wife posting, "The movie made my husband catch Teh gay."
The limb I'm out on, is the one betting money that JonMark at The Tribe may have created Meghan Thompson as a parody in response to that paragraph in the Bennett article, where Bennett claims to have gotten the phone call.
xposty goodness--I started responding before you edited.
