| I have been thinking this evening about the old western side kicks. The Lone Ranger had Tonto. The Cisco Kid had Pancho. Gabby Hayes was a side kick and so was Slim Pickins. Even Superman had Lois Lane and the Kid. Matt Dillion had Chester. Andy Griffith had Barney. This started out as a discussion between my David and I about what Kimo Sabe meant. What are your thoughts. Love, Betty |

| I have always heard that kimo sabe meant either "my friend" or "masked stranger".
Hiyee, Kimo Sabe!
One more... "Wild Bill" Cody and Jingles
Not only sidekicks, but the names of their horses has been one of my trivia games |

| Since "Tonto" is Spanish for "Stupid" we might conclude that Kimosabe has dark Inidan undertones.
So... what was Tonto's horse named? |

| I think Tonto's horse was called Scout
and kemo sabe meant something like 'faithful friend', 'trusted friend', something like that.

| You win! Many don't remember that at the William Tell end, right after "Hiyo Siiiiiilver, away!" You'd hear Tonto say, "Getum up, Scout."
Now for the bonus round: what was Gumby's horse's name?
Or Dale Evans'? |

| Don't have a clue about Gumby. Didn't know he/she/it had a horse. Dale's horse was named Buttermilk. But what was the name of Pat's jeep? |

Lulubelle comes to mind for the jeep.; seems it was a name with 'belle' on it.

| Never saw Gumby, but SNL did a few skits ('I'm Gumby, d****t! --E Murphy), and there was Pokey character. Was that the horse?

| dunno about Gumby. Nellybelle was the jeep. Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto for most of the Lone Ranger's run, was also known as the best in Hollowood at one other thing. Anyone know what it was? |

Tomahawk throwing. Remember the Johnny Carson bit? |

| Sorry my friend, but that wasn't Jay Sliverheels that almost took away the manhood from the drawing on the wall on the Carson show. It was Ed Ames who played Mingo on the Daniel Boone television series.
Jay had another talent, any more guesses? |

| Dang, you're right, Don. Jay did make a guest appearance on Carson in a comedy skit - dressed as Tonto. I had to Google-cheat on his "other thing", so I won't give it away. |

| Yes, Melinda, I believe it was 'pokey' for Gumby's horse. Funny, but the only horse names that stick in my mind are Flicka and Black Beauty! |

| WHAT! Not Trigger, the Golden Palomino????
Who I actually saw, stuffed in a glass case, believe it or not, in the Kansas State Museum in Topeka during a fifth grade field trip when I lived in Ft. Leavenworth. (The army post, not the prison, thanks so much)
Ol' Trigger was one of two things I remembered from that trip. The other was the first time I had seen or heard of an insect in amber, and they had a masterpiece: a solid rectangle of polished golden amber about 3x5x1 inches with a perfect, spread-winged dragonfly imbedded inside. Blew my little mind. |

| It might be a cool book or article: what kids remember from museum trips. I think a lot of boys at a certain age and interest would walk into the Science and Industry in Chicago, look up and see a real, live Stuka bomber strafing down on them from the ceiling and not recall anything else from the trip. Maybe also the U-boat. Certainly a lot of kids go to the Smithsonian and come out with one big impression: GIANT DINOSAURS!!! The only thing I can really recall from the national museum in Taipei was a four story high Foucault pendulum. First time I'd seen or heard of one and I spend a hour checking it out, watching the progress, going up and down the circular staircase around it to get different reads on it. Other than that... a bunch of old chinese junk. Some other kid could go there and walk out demolished by a huge piece of jade carved in inhuman detail.
It would be a nice piece. |

| PUH-lees. You had to go and mention a Stuka dive bomber and spoil my day. On top of that you brought a museum in Mons, Belgium to mind. I was 19 when about a month after WWII ended in Europe we were forced to walk through this museum dedicated to venereal diseases of the most disgusting kind. Pickled babies in bottles, stuff like that. Without exception every man present swore off women for life. That lasted until we were turned loose in the evening and everyone headed for town. |

| Sorry, Dick, but I don't think I'll include your museum story in my heart-warming books of children's impressions.
But be sure to try us at a later time. |

| This isn't the first time I've been rejected, yet it still hurts. As for women, I have always liked them. The problem has been getting them to like me. |

| I can't believe I forgot Fury! Dick, women like you, you are just a bit mysterious. Maybe they don't realize there is a warm fuzzy guy behind the beard. I like the pipe (and I guess, the guy behind it!) but it would help if you would smile just a little bit! |
