Poll question: What's the matter, Lassie? What is it girl?

1. “One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle”

[Bossy Monkey]

2. All these years later, I laughed and snorted out loud

"Our first weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear!..."

5. This is Uncle Ted in front of the house

(rip)

This is Uncle Ted at the back of the house.

(rip)

And this is Uncle Ted at the side of the house.

(rip)

This is Uncle Ted, back again at the front of the house, but you can see the side of the house.

(rip)

And this is Uncle Ted even nearer the side of the house, but you can still see the front.

(rip)

This is the back of the house, with Uncle Ted coming round the side to the front.

(rip)

And this is the Spanish Inquisition hiding behind the coal shed.

6. How am I not remembering this? They must have left it off the record

(I got into Monty Python mostly because my roommate, also American, had a lot of their stuff on (audio) tape during junior year abroad, ironically, in England.)

8. 'Spanish Inquisition' was on their second album

"Another Monty Python Record," but it didn't include the bit I quoted above. That was added to episode 15 as a link.

4. 'Well, what on Earth does that mean??'

3. Call me anal-retentive, but even with only two votes I still need a tie-breaker

:P

7. It always did bug me

that they used a male collie and pretended he was a girl.

9. Pal, his sons and grandsons were probably a little chafed about it, too.

Anyway, I always thought girl dogs were easier to train. Whadda I know, though.

"Lassie! Quit trying to hump the stand-in dog!"

10. I thought it had to do with shedding,

Males shed less, I was told. (Definitely not true of cats.)

11. That's what Lassie says on her- er- his- er her blog

http://lassiebarker.blogspot.com/2007/08/is-lassie-boy-or-girl.html
So it's come to this: Lassie has a blog. Anyway, thanks for the info; I'd have never guessed, nor thought to look for Lassie's (snort) blog.:toast:

[BurtWorm]

13. Damn, that dog is smart.

:patriot:

[Bossy Monkey]

16. Had I known about it, I could have made it a poll response:

"Hey, why don'tcha just read my blog, buttmunch?"

[Dr. Strange]

12. And the Monkees didn't write their own songs!

And Jason of Star Command was a shitty pilot!

:cry:
