Strange Brew by John Deering for March 07, 2025

They came for a “wellfare check”.

It seems that Lassie is NOT good at …. “math!!!”

:-O

Timmy was never in a well on the “Lassie” TV show.

Timmy’s ‘fractals’ never seem to end.

Well,well,well.

Lassie was bad at figuring, too.

F*R*actions – I thought you said FACTIONS.

It takes a village…..LOL

Before you declare Lassie a bad dog, see if any of those folks can help you with fractions

Ha! Even Lassie can have a bad day.

After a simple misunderstanding, Timmy deals with the aftermath.

Water you talking about.

Bad dog? Timmy ought to be in traction.

Lassie was a Laddy

What did Lassie hear? Fractures, maybe?

I hope the currency of that knowledge will buy you the thing you need most.

This discussion based on urban legends about the “Lassie” TV show reminded me the other day on Facebook when a guy mentioned “Brokeback Mountain.” It turned out that he had never seem the movie nor even read Annie Proulx’s original story. In her story, the last time Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist were together they made up stories about women they had supposedly dated. In the narrative of the story, their lies went up with the smoke in the campfire. When the guys were herding sheep up on Brokeback and spent a night in the tent, Ennis said, “I ain’t queer” to which Jack replied, “Me neither.” Those lies by the campfire had them saying, “We still ain’t queer.” [I read the original COMPLETE story; but, Larry McMurtry, the co-writer of the screen play read what was in a magazine and it omitted the fact that Ennis’s trailer was on a ranch and not in a trailer park.
