Well, the Lone Ranger was one of the few things that were before my time!! I have no idea what he left behind but I know it wasn't Tonto, his faithful companion - which would seem really weird these days:cool:

I could NOT remember the Red Skelton thing and I hardly ever missed an episode - dementia must be settling in quickly!!

I was thinking Louis Armstrong and Duke came out for some reason. Oh well. At least I know that I knew that one - my fingers didn't and typed the wrong thing.

[Tut]

Now that I've seen the answers, should have gotten them all. Call it senility.:o

Give the twisted Hollywood crowd time and they will come out will a gay Lone Ranger and Tonto movie. Kinda like "Brokeback Mountain." Like wide said in another thread, "John Wayne needs to comeback from the dead and pistol whip those people."

I have a joke somewhere about a senility virus going around on the internet. If I can find it, I'll post it.
