Accurate reference. Miss 2 turns. Trigger is still going strong in a
taxidermic sort of way.

I don't remember any character in "OFAH" called 'Hilarious'. Was that in
one of the early ones when Uncle Albert was Grandad and Rodney wasn't
married to that ironing board?

Are the Del Boys anything like the Bevin Boys? I know that latter were

Del Boys perhaps the disciples of that Scottish-Italian wideboy Del

Legendary singing cowboy, if you don't mind.
Roy "Shorty" Rogers singlehandedly changed the shape of American music
erasing the lines of color and culture by fusing country, blues, jazz,
hillbilly, and even Hawaiian sounds together. His song, Blue Yodel,
was one of the first to sell a million copies.

We need a new base to work from. uk.misc in the newsgroups line is a

No, Tonto was the Lone Ranger Sidekick. I think Trigger was Roy Roger's
horse and Silver was the Lone Ranger's horse. Hiho Silver, away!!

I think you're getting confused. Tonto Lane was a popular 50s/60s TV cowboy
competing with the likes of Champion The Wonder Horse[1], The Frisco Kid
and Mr Ed. Trigger was the name of Roy Roger's dog.

Yeah, but what was the name of the Sheriff in Four Feather Falls, and
what powers did each of the magic feathers give him?

Okay:

Trigger was Roy Rogers horse
His dog (a german shepherd) was named Bullet
(If anyone cares, Dale Evan's horse was named Buttermilk.)

Tonto was the Lone Ranger's Sidekick - the dude who called Lone "Kemosabe"
(forgive me if the spelling is incorrect.) I think Tonto's horse was called
Scout.

And ev-ery-one will *mumble* know the naaame of..
Champion the wonder HORSE


Champion The Wonder Horse appears to have started out as Gene Autry's
steed who was called Champion and frequently refered to as teh world's
Wonder Horse.

Maybe someone from the states will know.

Champion was indeed Gene Autry's horse, and, of course, the rival to Roy's
Trigger. But I saw Gene and Champion in an appearance in Philadelphia, PA, in
