Long Ranger ??????
Never heard of him.Was he the "Lone" Ranger's taller brother?
The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, “Who owns the big white horse outside?”
The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, “I do - Why?”
The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, “I just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!”
The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.
The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, “Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better.”
Tonto said, “Sure, Kemosabe” and took off running circles around Silver.
Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink.
A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, “Who owns that big white horse outside?”
The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, “I do - what's wrong with him this time?”
The cowboy looks him in the eye and says, “Nothin', but you left your Injun running.”
The "Long" Ranger?
Is that the guy who plays center on the 75th's basketball team at Benning? :p
Now, as far as The Lone Ranger goes:
What was Tonto's original horse's name?
Tonto's horse has always been named 'Scout' in the series. For the first few episodes Tonto rode seated behind The Lone Ranger on Silver...and Tonto's horse in the early novels (never in the radio or TV serials) was originally called 'White Feller.'

This is an interesting read from The Saturday Evening Post on October 14, 1939:

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, they fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?"
The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and
potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?"
Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabe, you dumb @$$. Someone has stolen effin' tent."

Tonto and the Lone Ranger were riding across the prairie. Then Tonto got down from his horse and put his ear to the ground. He looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "Buffalo come."
The Lone Ranger looked at him and said, "Wow, that's amazing! How did you figure that out?"
Tonto looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "Ear sticky!"
BTW...I've still got an old Lone Ranger lunch box packed away somewhere.....

Woah... deja vu! :D
Darn it, how did I skip over that post. Sucks getting old.
Let's try another:
The bad guys have captured the Long Ranger, have him naked on the ground, and are about to shoot him. "Do you have any last wishes??", one of them asks.
"Bring my horse, Silver, over here.", the Long Ranger replies.
They grant his wish and over comes Silver. The Lone Ranger whispers for a moment into Silver's ear. Then Silver disappears over the horizon like lightning. He returns in just a few seconds with a big, beautiful woman in the saddle. She hops off Silver, strips naked and in short order she and the Long Ranger enjoy themselves to the utmost, much to the delight of the bad guys.
When they've finished, another bad guy says, "That looked like good fun. Do you have any other last wishes??"
"Yes ..bring my horse, Silver, over here one more time.", the Long Ranger replies.
Silver approaches, and the Long Ranger whispers into his ear, "You idiot! I said bring POSSE!"

And now we know why they called him the 'Long' Ranger - must've starred John Homes!

The Old Classic
I came acroos a 1956 Red Ryder hardcover book that was a present then. It is Red Ryder and The Thunder Trail.
\
Wonder how many recall him and the Daisey Red Ryder BB gun?
Wonder how many recall him and the Daisey Red Ryder BB gun?
I think A Christmas Story is on TV during the holidays every year which pretty much features the BB gun, though I didn't know about the book on the Red Ryder.
We all had BB gun growing up in Texas and Missouri, and perhaps it's an urban thing, but these days living in the city I bite my tongue to keep silent when folks say things like football is too dangerous for boys, so you can imagine where they stand on BB guns. IIRC Bill Rogers the shooting instructor wrote about mail ordering a SMLE as an 8 year old in the 50's for varmint duty, times have changed.
There was a series of cowboy books for kids I used to devour, I think set in Colorado, one of them may have been titled The Gold Nugget about, ranches, indian fighting and bandits, but I can't recall the name of the series.

Speaking of that, does anyone read Louis L'amour?

Talk about trading material in SF. It was any book by him. Major Topp read his books to the point of almost devouring them.
He was such an avid reader of L'amour that I only ran into one similar to him. Topp was the C-5 S-4 for about 50 days in mid 68. I worked for him. He was insulted as a former IV Corps Mike Force CO being thrown in a position a 1LT or CPT max has. Topp went back to the IV Corps Mike Force in August 68.I felt damn lucky to have worked for him for under two months prior to getting a company.
Col. Cook should know him.

No disrespect intended but it has nothing to do with your age. Just keep your glasses on while reading and you will be fine. Well, thats what my wife tells me anyway :D

The Lone Ranger and Tonto get surrounded by hostile Indians. They are down to their last few rounds of ammo, the Lone rangers says," Well Tonto, looks like we are done for!"
Tonto replies, "What you mean, "We", white boy?"
And yes, I have read Louis L'amour. I liked most of them. Last of the Breed was a good one. There's a few bad guys still out there that should have their hair sent home in a box.
