I set up Google Alerts to notify me anytime the search engine runs across the name “RandomPokes.” In that way, I learn about places that are linking or referring to my commercial site or to this blog.
Today, I was informed about a bulletin board post by “RandomPokes” in a discussion of the movie “Brokeback Mountain.” If my parents stumbled across this (or, heaven forbid, my coworkers or any number of United Brethren ministers and laypersons), they might be a bit concerned. Here’s what I found, amidst a rather long discussion of the film:

A close friend of mine recommended the film awhile back so yeah I’ve seen it. It was alright but the first romantic scene was way too sudden and graphic. A kiss would’ve just worked out first jeez…
Heh I had to pause the movie every five minutes to make sure my dad wasn’t listening in. (he’s homophobic, but knows my best friend is gay >_>)
I did cry at the end, however, so it was still good good movie imo.
So, Mom and Dad–I’ve not seen the movie, and if I did, I doubt that I would have cried at the end.
