Um...Yeah...
Hello out there.
I hope that all is well wherever you are.
There was this post I was working on...but I decided to scrap it...
I wasn't going to post anything at all...but I've been seeing these things around lately and I didn't really know what to make of them:
So I entered "Zambo" and selected "him"...
Try it if you're interested. (Numbers 2 and 3 sound very uncomfortable...only numbers 7 and 10 are true, by the way)...
Did you know that there's a film from 1937 called "Sher-e-Jungle"? (It's also known as "Zambo the Apeman"~ A scientist transforms an ape-like monster into a man who begins to behave like Tarzan)...I've never seen it, but it sounds like it's not that good.
Dictionary.com describes zambo as \Zam"bo\, n.; pl. Zambos. [See Sambo.] The child of a mulatto and a negro; also, the child of an Indian and a negro; colloquially or humorously, a negro; a sambo.
Interesting...
I remember there was a question about the definition on a Social Studies test in the fifth grade and a girl wrote "The boy who sits three seats behind me"...The teacher, Mrs. S, told the class because the girl, Carol A., tried to change her answer when we got the tests back. Mrs. S said that she laughed about that answer with her husband the night before and that Carol should take her seat and be quiet. I'm pretty sure Mrs. S must be dead by now. She was pretty old, even then.
R.I.P. Mrs. S.
As for Carol, I can only hope that she married a rich guy who's soft in the head... All the best, Carol.
That's it for now.
Your Pal,
Zambo.

Hey Selina.
Your list was pretty good too.
I found number 5 a little troubling...I guess you're like a fine wine that way(?)...
I think the toe thing can be explained as a spelling mistake. I believe it relates to the singer Selena, who was taken away from us to soon...I heard she was known as "cantante sin los dedos del pie" (roughly translated as "singer without toes")...That's just what I had heard...It might not be true though...
(Thanks for linking to me, by the way!)
Anyway, back to work, I suppose.
Take care.
Your Pal,
Zambo.
Oh yeah, Little Black Sambo was totally un-PC (think ink black skin, big pink lips, big nose, nappy hair, gonna get eaten by a tiger kind of un-PC). I think they tried to re-work the book in recent years to make it more PC. Go figure.
Here's mine:

Hi There monkey face,
It turned out to be a great post for starting out as a post and then becoming a scraped post. HUH??
I am really excited about my 30 days of living in Zambo. I have no idea when it's gonna happen though. Do you think I will still be able to skateboard and skydive when it does?? I am sure I will leave Zambo with some very bad habits when my time is done. I apologize in advance.
You mean to tell me you get STERN illegally? Man oh man...you must be his BIGGEST fan ever.
I hope you have a nice day.
I am going to eat cake.
Peace,
SW
I adore that picture!

Hi Keeks, S*, Nicki, Spider Walk, Ms. L and Poody!
It’s nice to see you ladies today.
Thanks for dropping by.
Keeks,
Not sure if I ever mentioned that I like your new profile pic…but I do.
I am aware of that whole unfortunate “Sambo” situation too…I don’t think I ever read the book though…
S*,
I can’t help but feel that you’re squandering a gift like that by not watching TV…(Two grams of S* provide enough energy to power a television for over twenty-three hours! Two grams of what, I wonder). It says you can’t drink either. Sorry to hear that. You’re an unusual element.
Nicki,
I like your new profile pic too.
Pretty weird, huh? According to this you’re a ridged fruit that was thought to be extinct…but you’re tall…very tall.
Spider Walk,
Where do I even begin with your comment? I’m reminded of the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he’s in giant Elmer’s head…But two words are also coming to mind…that perhaps shouldn’t…”human tampon”…Yup…I said it…Then that reminds me of that old classic: What do elephants us for tampons?....Sheep...That's right. Sheep.
You should be able to do everything that you normally do. Even swimming! And you’ll get all the cake you can handle!
Ms. L,
You had me at “cluster of bananas”…
Poody,
There was a diner owned by a Greek guy near where I grew up called “Sambo’s”…I think it was his last name though.
More Useless info:
There are characters called “Zambo” and “Ape-Man” in the 1925 film ”The Lost World”…(which was based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel).
Take care out there.
Your Pal,
Zambo.
