#5 Tom - that would probably work.

Of course, it would involve stoning or beheading her....

#7 I thought that "kemosabe" meant friend or buddy. I also seem to remember that the reason the Lone Ranger had cowboy superpowers was because he was raised by Indians rather than whites. Also, having an Indian sidekick that could track, fight, shoot, and move silently was supposed to be cool, not bigoted.

Soooo..... racist? Come again?

#8 Wasn't there an old song or something?

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode the trail,catching outlaws and putting them in jail.

But the Ranger shot old Tonto cause it seems...He found out what "Kemosabe" means...

:-D

#9 What I heard was that "kemosabe" was a corruption of the Spanish "quien mas sabe"-- in English, "he who knows more". If so, Tonto was just kinda sucking up.....

#10 In the US there are 4 busineses listed under Kemosabe and 7 enterprises calling themselves Kemo Sabe. Ya think they are intentionally offending their customers?
For "The Definitive Word on 'Kemo Sabe'" check this link. It seems that Canadian lawyers don't have enough to do.
