Title: How far will you go for a couple of high-altitude Fks?
Post by: dissident on Feb 22, 2006, 09:29 PM: This is kind of an obsessive thing to do. Here are driving directions and a map from Childress, TX to Riverton, WY. I sooo would've done it, too. There probably wasn't even a good set of interstate highways back then, so imagine the time it took. There had to be so much more than "a couple of high-altitude f#cks."

Plane tickets at those times were an arm and a leg.

Post by: Rod on Feb 26, 2006, 12:37 PM: i knew exactly how Jack felt tho....i drove from Ceres, Ca. to Fort Hood Texas to see my "Ennis". It was his first three day pass after being drafted. Since I knew how shy he was I wanted to give him the chance to be straight if that is what he wanted, (when u really love someone ya gotta think of them first), so I brought a willing female with me for him. At a certain time I retreated to the bathroom with a six pack of beer so they could have some privacy....later when he knocked on the door, he said he couldn't "get off" and amazingly we had the first tent scene in the bed next to hers....wow...until this movie I had not thought of this in years....

Post by: Hermes1 on Mar 01, 2006, 11:24 PM: I flew from Houston to Paris once, searching for someone I had had a severe infatuation with. Had a crazy idea that I would just accidentally "find him" somewhere in Europe during that summer 15 years ago! What a joke! Eventually caught up with him in Mexico City when he returned to the Americas a year later.

Post by: jack123 on Apr 09, 2012, 10:56 PM: I live in Canada and my lover lives in Germany.I can't drive there that means a lot of air miles.She would do the same from Germany to Canada if that was possible the relationship is complicated.We could always be on the same plane and join the mile high club,Don't I wish >:D

Post by: yuddy on Apr 09, 2012, 11:20 PM: I live in Taiwan, and my husband in US. How about that? But you know what, we couldn't have done it if this was a secret relationship with little hope of ever progressing anywhere. And I believe that's what made Jack's effort so heart-breaking and great at the same time.
