Ed and Hank

Hello old friend… It’s really good to see you once again…

Disclaimer: Hank told their story to Annie Proulx. Jack and Ennis are all hers. Ed and Hank belong only to each other. Rating: G $$: Nope.

oh for crying out loud I'll put another log on the fire for em :D

Why did Ed's father destroy all the other soldiers? That seemed silly. I am glad he was able to save that one soldier so he could watch over Hank and Ed's tree

happy holidays guys

[myeyesaintblue]

LOL! Thanks, Ed and Hank appreciate the offer and will give you a call the next time they're going back and forth about who has to get up and put another log on the fire, (which I better warn you is pretty much every time they have a fire going).

And as to why Ed's pa destroyed those toy soldiers, Hank doesn't know the details and he never likes to press Ed about stuff like that, he just knows Ed had a real bad childhood and Christmas decorations, (except for a nativity scene), and most toys weren't allowed in their house. Hank does remember Ed saying that one of his father's oft-used expressions was "idle hands are the devil's playthings".

oy boy a bible thumper. I feel bad for Ed. good thing he has nothing but good memories with Hank :D he makes sure Ed has a good life and visa versa

:D happy new year to you and Ed and Hank! (and the dogs and cats too)

Re: Awww...

Yep. Both Ed's folks were big ol' bible thumpers. Which is part of the reason Hank's so vocal about bible thumpers, (knowing how bad Ed was treated as a kid makes Hank crazy). And yeah, it really is a visa versa kinda thing.

Happy new year to you and yours too!

Awwwwww! ::sniffles:: I am all teary-eyed from reading about that single ornament. This was great, thank you so much for sharing it.

[myeyesaintblue]

Yeah, Hank's just glad that one ornament survived Ed's childhood (and that Ed did too!). And, thanks, I'm glad you could spend a bit of your holiday with Ed and Hank.

'Blue,

Just don't let them get near that soldier as they put the log on the fire. He's special, like you and Ed and Hank and all.

Tell Iris I hope she gets better soon!

This was a lovely Christmas Eve gift. Thanks, dumbass!
Merry Christmas!

That's so sweet of you to say, as are all of you as well. And I will definitely make sure that Hank doesn't mistakenly toss that wooden soldier onto the fire in a fit of extreme laziness.

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas this year! (You all surely earned it!)

Okay, okay, I'll stop calling you Shirley.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year's and new year, Dumbass!

'Blue

Just wonderful to hear Ed and Hank's voices on Christmas Eve. You are a generous and thoughtful gift-giver. Three years tomorrow since I first saw Brokeback and was feeling a bit sad about it... Heath and all. Thank you for continuing this pitch-perfect series.

All the best to you in the New Year.

Glad you could stop by for a Christmas visit. I can understand you feeling sad about Heath, it's hard to believe it's been almost a year. I'm just glad he we have some amazing movies to remember him with, especially Brokeback. It's also hard to believe it's been three whole years since Brokeback came out. Wow.

Awww...

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

Re: Awww...

Hope you had a very merry Christmas! We didn't realize you were a (former?) Chicagoan. Thanks for the name of the mayor, Hank was too lazy to look it up. ;D And Hank LOVES going to Chicago and wishes he could get Ed there more often than once in a blue moon. So Hank's busy trying to talk Ed into going there to visit Iris while Ed's trying to talk Iris into coming here instead.

And yeah, Ed was definitely kept on short rations way too long, (something that makes Hank crazy to think about) so Hank does lazy best to make up for it. Oops, I meant level best. And being cheap and easy definitely does help. (At least so far as Ed's concerned.)

Thanks for the video, it's great! And each and every one of us is daring to hope that 2009 will be the start of something big too!

Ooops, that should be "his lazy best".
