I need help with a trivia question.

Can someone tell me the name of Tonto's horse. We know the Lone Ranger's
horse's name was Silver, but we can't remember Tonto's.

Email your answer to <din...@world.std.com>

You help will win you buckets of gratitude.

Thanks.

Dwight:

The horse Tonto rode was named "Scout" I believe.

Tonto's hourse was named Scout. I once had to answer this question on a
job interview after putting down Trivia as one of my interests on my
resume. Good thing I knew the answer!

I don't know what Tonto's horse's name was, so I'll leave that one
alone. But, I read somewhere (maybe a trivia book) that "Kimo Sabi"
(sp?) actually means "Trusty Scout". Could Tonto have been talking to
his horse all that time?

Tonto's horse was indeed name "Scout". Now for a little trivia. We all know
that Roy Roger's horse was named "Trigger" anyone remember what Dale Evan's
horse was named?

I will provide the answer if nobody gets it.

Tonto's horse was indeed named "Scout". The term "paint" refers to
the fact that the horse was a pinto.

"Kemo sabe" means "trusty friend".

I *love* this show!!!

Tonto's horse was definitely 'Scout' (as in "Get 'em up, Scout" to
balance "Hi Ho, Silver!").

"Kimo Sabe" is supposed to be an Indian phrase. But in Spanish, it
looks/sounds an awful lot like "Que no sabe", which translates into
"He who knows nothing".

In Spanish, "Tonto" translates directly to "fool".

This was pointed out to me by someone else, but I don't recall if they
knew whether the Spanish translation of "Kimo Sabe" was intentional.
It's my preferred translation, though: Both the Lone Ranger and Tonto
were actually constantly insulting each other every time they called
each other by name.... ("Let's go, Fool!" "After you, No Nothing!").

Hi! No, Tonto's horse WAS Scout.

Actually that makes sense. It also agrees with what I always thought
Kimosabe meant. According to Gary Larson's The Far Side, one cartoon
featured an old Lone Ranger looking through an Indian-English dictionary
and the definition of Kimosabe read "Horse's rear end" and the Lone Ranger's
caption was "What the hey?"

Hi, Jessica,

Well, that's pretty close. (BTW, Tonto's horse *was* named Scout.) The
exact dialogue from when the six Texas Rangers were ambushed, only one
survived, and Tonto nursed him back to health, goes like this:

RANGER
There .. there's something familiar about you.

TONTO
You remember? Many year ago, you only boy. You find Indian boy in trouble.
Save life (of) Indian boy.

RANGER
Yes .. your name is "Tonto," isn't it?

TONTO
That right.

RANGER
Years ago, you called me "kemo sabe."

TONTO
That right. And you still "kemo sabe." It mean "faithful friend."

Best, Noah
