Lassie Question

[Jon Hodapp]

My officemates and I are 'playing Bud commercial'
(discussing old TV shows) and we are arguing
about Lassie. How many were there, and what sex
were they?

I BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE THREE OR FOUR AND THEY WERE ALL MALES.

I believe that the 6th descendant of the original Lassie (which would make
this Lassie #7) will be seen in a soon-to-be-released movie.

In real life, all the Lassies have been male.

The character played by Lassie has usually been female. I not certain
about the movie's title, but Lassie played a male in _Courage of Lassie_
with a young Elizabeth Taylor. The reason for using male collies is
that they have better coats.

Hope this helps some.

Did anyone else manage to see this monument to crass pop culture? Among the
highlights were Miss Fried-Egg Tit's haunting rendition of "F**k'em in the Ass",
Sherman Hemsley's Whoopi Goldberg, and Stern's merciless taunting of John Wayne
Bobbitt to expose his reconstructed member.

With regard to the latter, I can't tell if Bobbitt was seriously considering
taking $15,000 to show it off, or if this was a rehearsed (and well-acted!)
ploy. Either way, it was extremely creepy.

All in all, I was both amused and appalled. And then I got to thinking...this
broadcast is being sent into space, so in a few years, when the aliens see it, I
suspect they'll put us down like the rotten animals that we are :-)

Happy New Years.
