Shane would not have been the first Western with strong sexual undertones. Consider Oklahoma with the silouette ballets and what's his name who collected porno versus what his name the good cowboy.

Remember how Shane displaced Joe at the family table? What was that if not a subtle tipoff? Also remember how both Shane and Marian called 'em "flannel cakes". Would that not indicate the possibility that they came from the same place?parsy.

After reading your comments maybe I should look at the Bonanza reruns in a new light. Like what was up with those names, Little Joe and Hoss? Hmmm.

BTW, thinking back about Stagecoach. How did that movie ever get by the censors?

Nope. Because no where does it say that that is what Marian called them. She just said that they didn't do so out west. For all you know it could have been what Joe called them.

Besides she guessed Tennessee, as his home state only to be told it was Arkansas out of Mississippi.
