I saw a trailer for that film
The Lone Ranger the other day and it was a bit of a surprise because it did not
appear to me to be anything like the original Lone Ranger. For a start off
Tonto in the original was a Red Indian and it appears that in the remake Tonto
is a pirate so I am expecting to here “White man speak with forky tongue kemosabe HAR
HAR HAR ….Pieces of Eight” . I say this because Tonto looks just like
that Robert Newton who played Captain Long John Jack Sparrow in Raiders of the
Lost Ark where Blind Pugh is eaten by the creature from the black lagoon. I was
told that Tonto even has a pet Vulture that sits on his shoulder and sings “I shot the sheriff but I did not eat the
deputy” during a rather heated gun battle with the cowboys with black
hats in an attempt to distract them for The Lone Ranger and his horse Silver,
so called because as Tonto says “He cost
heap much money, not so kemosabe . . . . me think kemosabe well ripped off”.
I really wonder why they had so
much agro back in the days of the wild west because it is a known fact that if
you wore a white hat you were a goody and if you wore a black hat you were a
baddy. Although railroad owners who often wore battered top hats or even bowler
hats were in general not very nice (some things never change). And they never
had any problems with aliens they did not arrive until about 1950 when loads of
them turned up all at once, probably waiting for Gary Cooper and John Wayne to
get too old to shot at them. It would be good if there were aliens in The Lone
Ranger then Tonto could say “Take me to your leader kemosabe” or as in the
original, look at the ground and say things like “An alien passed this way many moons ago, he limp on both left legs
and has patch over all five eyes and is called Dennis”
Anyway in other
news WHAT is going on with the weather, last night we had the rain from hell (that’s
a lot of rain) so we had flooding on all the roads, there was snow on the hills
and between the hail stones today it was either nice and sunny or bitterly cold.
The sooner dad gets the weather machine fixed the better. . . . . . . . . PHEW.
.
*cough cough choke* Jeez Rob Z, I laughed so hard at "I shot the Sheriff but I did not eat the deputy," that I choked on the double choc cookie, I stole from the lil man.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a film that I would gladly watch, 'Cowboys Vs Aliens. And if dad could fix the weather machine by Friday, when I have to go shopping, that would be great. :)
Yes I must admit it was a good line but I dont know where it can from in my head, my head is like that. Anyway I was rather shocked to learn this morning of a movie called Cowboys & Aliens what a cheek. Still my idea is more Pirates, Cowboys & Aliens with an amusing sort of Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy sort of script (the Brit version not the US movie one).
DeleteWe are working on the weather machine as I speak (type) OK not actually as I type.
Have you any idea how many different links and fields and pastures and roundabouts I had to go through to get to this blog site? Never mind, I'm here now.
ReplyDeleteI see your surreality continues to amaze and even confuse my last two brain cells. That seems a must-see movie. In the remake, they could of used Russell Brand as the pirate. I mean, he looks like an audition reject from the Parrots of the Caribbean, or whatever the heck it was.
I have to agree with lily. Hi lily, you little flower you :) "I SHOT THE SHERIFF BUT I DID NOT EAT THE DEPUTY” is really quite exceptional. I now have two versions of that song singing to my last two brain cells. Clapton and Marley would have made for an interesting duet.
See you, dude. Well done and no need to push button number eight! :)
Hello Good Sir if it is any consolation I general confuse myself rather a lot when I write this blog. Most of the time it makes no sense so continuity is a right old game.
DeleteLuckily real life means it will always have its feet (the blogs feet) firmly fixed on the ground, I say ground I mean firmly fixed in the mud.
Damn I cant remember what button eight did I will have to return to your own blog now (a cunning trick).
And Miss Lily is a cool Lady with a cracking blog that I like a great deal.
Aww Rob, you flatter me. *Flutters eyelashes coyly*
DeleteHaha! Hi right back at ya klahanie. :)
As always I enjoyed your post, always gives me a smile.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Many thanks it was a little surreal this time, it is all the pressure of writing every day and trying to think of new things and keeping folk interested. It a tough job but someone has to do it.
DeleteYesterday was an eXtremely busy day and I am just now swinging by to get caught up on my reading, but getting coffee first ...
ReplyDeleteCoffee is always important, although having said that my first choice is Tea. But there are many blogs to get through and we all need sustenance to keep our minds sharp and alert.
DeleteI hope all is well Mr ESB I have just returned from commenting on your blog and am drinking tea as I type, well between mouthfuls I am typing.
And I can type O . . . . . HAH ah hahAH HAH HA HAH HAH HA HAH HHAHAH HAH AH HAH AH HA HAH HAH AH AH.
U R talented veRy. I just got finished working a cryptogram puzzle that was eXtra difficult because the put Chinese words in it! I should put that on my resume to the NSA. At least I found the Wong answer to the puzzle. (with Wong being the name of the person of the quote) hahahahahaha
DeleteCryptogram puzzles are more than my brain will cope with Mr ESB; the thought of a chinese cryptogram puzzle is rather scary.
DeleteI must think of a tale-N-Ted (where N is the slightly slang sound of On). Just for a moment I thought that said NASA, but you would need more SPACE on your resume.
Hello Rob.
ReplyDeleteI thought i would share this little gem - I think you will like it as much as I do.

As Tonto would say about a man wearing a silly mask "KEMOSABE he look a bit of a Wally", although Tonto appears to have a dead bird on his head, so enough said.....
