Cleo?
No kitties? The boys are gonna be sore upset.
do you remember Lash LaRue?
Correctimundo. In the last season, became 'Songbird 2'.
This is the reality of it: Kemosabe is not really just one word. It is like this, KEMO SABE, and it means in Tonto's tribal language whatever that was, KEMO SOBBY, just like it sounds. The Lone Ranger's actual first name was KEMO and in private, he cried a lot. So, Tonto often called him (but not in a derogatory manner) KEMO SOBBY. Tonto was very caring and compassionate.
OK..kitty trivia..JUST for you...and NO searching the net....
name the Siamese in "Bell, Book, and Candle?"
Got me beat on this one. Ah, well -- Merry Christmas to you anyway! (g!)
Piewacket -- my aunt has a cat named that right now.
Out, out brief candle. (translation: zot)
I remember the show as a kid..and years later..I owned a co-op in New Rochelle..a previous long-ago owner was Buffalo Bob..
Pyewacket (spelling per IMDB)
Or was it brandy he was fond of? Maybe that was the movie version......
>>What if she were called "SQUAW"?........<<
That's an interesting case. Squaw simply means "woman," or "wife," or so I'm told. But I've also heard Indians complain it has connotations of "whore." I guess because White people would call their Indian prostitutes, "Squaw." (?)[/ill-informed speculation] So, Indians, 98% of whom prolly are not of whatever tribe gave us the word, think "prostitute" while white people often think it just means "woman."
Anyway, if some dum white guy called his subordinate, "Squaw," I would expect her to inform him of the negative connotations. If he persisted, you might have a case. Again, though, usage is what matters; if he used it in a way that it was plainly meant to connote "whore," than I would think that would immediately be citable as an instance of workplace hostility.
Yeah, I've seen that before...A classic!
I wonder if that old comic strip "Tumbleweeds" is still in publication? One of its main characters was "Maw Squaw"......
>>What was the name of the jeep driven by Pat Butram?<<
I REALLY don't wanna know what anyone named "Butram" rides. (Who is Pat Butram?)
In the telly series, with Robt Sterling, Anne Jeffreys, and Leo G. Carroll, I **assure** you that Neil regularly got sloshed on martinis. There have been 15 or so film versions -- no telling what Hollyweird may have done to the characters in those (hic!).
