It is now a Denny’s. I don’t know about the suit. Yes, Sambo was an Indian boy. They had very good food as I remember.

I won’t eat at Denny’s here. I saw one of their prep cooks and that guy was gross. LOL

I’m pretty skeptical. My impression was that tigers are not at all a cooperative species like lions, and that they have such a huge range that you would not find many tigers together.

What did they do, send out a tweet to gather the troops?

I do not understand why Little Black Sambo is considered Politically Incorrect.

From the book:

And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of beautiful little blue trousers.

And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings.

And then wasn't Little Black Sambo grand?

The book was ahead of its time. It's obvious that Little Black Sambo is gay!

No doubt. Regardless of what anyone thinks of the movie, you cannot suppress quality, and Robert Duvall is...Quality with a capital Q.

Favorite movie with him: "Open Range".

No big deal; the same thing happened to me once.

Only instead of tigers, they were old girlfriends.

I wish they’d put Open Range on netflix.

As for those guys up the tree, what the heck are they doing out there with no firearms?

Haha, maybe he was gay indeed! The language is beautiful in that book.

From the article: “The men set up traps for deers and antelopes for food.”

Deers?

I did like the part in the longer version where they stole the Colonel’s surfboards.
