we are in a net communications tutorial in Australia and instead of posting something serious and worthwhile, we found this FANTASTIC chair, it is awesome, where can we get one? and we want to know the price of the chair because we want to buy it for our tutor.
As a young boy, I'd go across the street to where my Great Grandfather (yes-Great) lived and listened to the Lone Ranger on radio with him as he played solitaire at his kitchen table. I had one of those sparking gun rings. Also had a Lone Ranger board game. Ate a lot of Cheerios. Great memories.
The Legend of the Lone Ranger did not bomb because of the boycott. It bombed because it was a horrible movie. Poorly acted and filled with stupid joke-attempts. It stands out as the second worst movie I saw in a theater.
As one of the maybe 35 people who saw "The Legend of The Lone Ranger" in the theater, I can safely say it failed at the box office for a number of reasons. Tonto the "Uncle Tomahawk," was probably the least of the movie's problems. Klinton Spilsbury would have been better played by a cardboard cutout standee of Clatyon Moore. His line reading was so bad they had to dub in James Keach's voice. And who in the world was responsible for casting Jim from "Taxi." as the Bad Guy? Seriously, every time Butch Cavendish showed up on the screen I half expected him to say "Hey Alex, what do you do at a yellow light?" At least, Michael Horse was a real Indian--and his career didn't end with that wreck of a movie.
I'm perplexed why an article about The Lone Ranger would omit this:
The Lone Ranger' Creed
I believe... That to have a friend, a man must be one. That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world. That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself. In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for what is right. That a man should make the most of what equipment he has. That 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always. That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number. That sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken. That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever. In my Creator, my country, my fellow man.
