marcicat | next week let’s skip Monday

Once upon a long time ago, my family watched what I can only assume was some kind of Lassie retrospective (probably the ABC special ‘Lassie Unleashed’), which showed clips of Lassie being sent to fetch a C-clamp, and — anyway, here’s the description I dug up online:

Ruth, taking a woods shortcut on her way to a Grange supper and having to replace a flat tire, is caught in a trap set by a state hunter to catch a marauding cougar. [...] When caught in the trap, she shouts for help, then sensibly assesses the situation, tries a few ways to get free, then concentrates on keeping warm and alive. When Lassie shows up, she takes the risk and sends the dog for the “C” clamp. Although in pain, when Lassie shows up with the cheese slicer instead, she’s very patient and tries again.
(from Lassie Episode Guide)

Today? It was the freakin’ cheese cutter, ALL DAY LONG. (I wouldn’t necessarily use the word “patient” to describe my reaction, but my coworkers aren’t as cute as Lassie, either.)
