Tonto= The Lone Ranger's sidekick. He basically only said stuff like "We go. Now." And stuff like that. Because I think he wasn't supposed to speak very good English,being as how he was the stereotype of an Indian. They fought crime, though.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

Good one. Loving the mental picture. He could be the Native Oz. Substituting "Hau" for "Huh." that is.

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want,
But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?
Thanks Erika and Deb i kinda guessed the meaning right! Hm me thinks i probably need to write/speak more to get rid of my tontonian qualities... but correction already helps a lot i guess!

*plunking out of six month lurk* General lack of posting due to general madness in my life. Anyway, I was hoping someone wouldn't mind looking over my short story. I have to submit the final copy for a CW class and could use the opinion of at least one more sophisticated reader. It's about 11 pages, double-spaced... I could grovel, or bake maybe?

BRYNN!
How short is short, and when is it needed by? I'm up to my ears, but would certainly try.

Wow, you two are much too kind. I've been feeling kind of guilty about the lurking... Anyway, it's 3003 words short to be exact. I have to hand it in Friday (I'm baaad, I know). Is that feasible for either of you?
