"How did elephants get to wear sunglasses"?

Ann,

Interestingly, I do know about Kimo sabe and the 'lone Ranger'.

It was his 'little play on words' from the Spanish "Que no sabe" = "He who knows nothing" !!!!

His Indian friend 'Tonto' didn't come out of it too well either - It again comes from the Spanish for 'stupid' or 'fool' !!

What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill?

Duh. "Here come the elephants over the hill."

What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants come over the hill wearing sunglasses?

Lone Ranger, seeing a crowd of armed First Nations warriors coming over the hill:

"What are we going to do now, Tonto???"

Tonto:

"Who 'we', white man?"

I'm not a Trekkie but personally I have been watching reruns of The Lone Ranger - now that is really class!!

What we do now now Kimo Sabi? Him plenty dead!!!!!

May as well use this thread for something now. ;)

Some of you are not Star Trek fans. So you're not familiar with the Pakleds.

They appeared in an episode of STNG called "Samaritan Snare" - about the possible pitfalls of being the boy scouts / girl guides of the universe.

They sail around space in a spaceship that they have no idea how to repair, depending on the kindness of strangers to fix their flat tires, or busted warp drives, you know. Actually, tricking strangers into helping them and then stealing what they want.

They manage this by saying things like

"We are not smart.You are strong. Help us."

Aaaahhh. Yes, my point, and I did have one. ;)

Here's a fun site about them.

http://www.eskimo.com/~bpentium/pakleds/

Some lines (I think there are audio clips, and there are pix):

"We are Far From Home"
"We look for Things, things we need"
"He is smart"
"It is broken, can you make it go?"
"You think we are not smart"
"We want to be nothing if not persistant"
"You ARE smart, make us strong"
"We are a force now, we will have respect"

So ....

Now you too can read these boards with visions of Pakleds dancing in your heads ...


We are not smart ... help us ...
and we will take what you have and run.

Hallelujia!!!!! at last - took long enough though!!

I still have not heard anything.

At last!!!

Problem "solved"

Cass

I emailed GR to thank them for taking action, and at that exact same minute they were emailing me to assure me that they had taken appropriate action and apologize if the member has upset me in any way.

I imagine others who complained directly will be getting similar messages.

And I've had no reply to email.

Mind you, they *shouldn't* tell us what action they're taking about someone else; that's personal info. But they should offer some assurances of, er, "appropriate action". And actually take some appropriate action.

Oops, shoulda checked.

Go here and click on her name.

Read where it says who you're sending the message to.

Hurray!

*** The problem has been solved. ***

The two messages were in my email box to say that she has contacted me through GENES Reunited, but when i i went into my "in box" on GR they were not showing up at all...........so i am wondering if this means she is blocked???

Wot! You sleep at night?
I thought everybody stayed on GR all night. LOL.

I've just come home, she emailed me in the middle of the night twice....i held my breath to see what she wrote...but they were just blank!!!

I have still had no reply from GR. They should have at least acknowledged it by now..

Any one seen the papers yet.

If you are getting emails like Christine and getting nowhere with Genes then tell Genes you are reporting to the police. Harrassment is a crime.

am I lucky or what??


I have received no messages from her!


Christine ..... that does indeed sound like a threatening message.
