   For those of us who don't have the intellectual taste
for the "My Dinner with Andre" debate, I suggest a quick
trip to see "National Lampoon's Vacation."
   With the sponsor's name prominently included in the
title, you can guess exactly what to expect:  crude humor
that attacks every stereotype possible -- blacks, farmers,
the elderly, obsequious security personnel -- sick humor
about killing helpless animals, and several examples of
totally gratuitous nudity and profanity.
   While there are no overpowering guffaws in this movie,
there is a pretty steady stream of chuckles.
   Gene Siskel panned this movie in the Chicago Tribune,
but what does he know?  He's just a feces-sniffing effeminate
wimp who depends on escaped zoo animals for sexual gratification.
We loyal subscribers to NatLamp know true comedic genius
when we see it, and maybe sometime we will.  For now, we'll
settle for this.

P.S.  For those who read the story in N.L. a couple of months
ago, the story does not end with Dad shooting Walt Disney in
the leg, although that would have been much better.
