Still clicking along great guys. I was worried I would be a bit of collateral damage for a second there.

Straight from the warped mind of Mr DANCER.
Nearly as good as Ozbert Fanin.

Aye, I still think we should have gone with Benchamin Fencesitter though!!!

Well, Tiny Jademan is uncannily inaccurate. Don't like the sound of being brained by one of Monty's stools.

Well, the standard sporting approach didn't seem to work too well.

That got me looking up the names of native American tribes. I never knew about the following:

Nipissing
Kickapoo
Acolapissa

I can see why you'd keep those names quiet once the hordes of puerile, English-speaking settlers rolled into town.

I presume the first of these tribes went on to provide generations of lifeguards for municipal pools, much like the descendants of the Nibombing tribe.

That was due the the son or daughter being named the first thing the father see's as he leave the teppee.

Imagine having to spend the rest of your life being called 'Two dogs shagging!!'

Apache is a collective term for tribes like Mimbreno, Mescalero, White Mountain, Chiracuawa etc etc. There were loads of them.

They don't translate very well into English, any more than Lake Titikaka. The Nipissing actually came from Canada - there is a town and university in Ontario of that name. I am assuming that you have never heard of Kickapoo Joy Juice, which might be worth a try (you will find several thousand recipes on google I feel sure). There are many strange Indian names throughout the land, often the result of half deaf French explorers not really hearing what the people call themselves.

It was either that or "Baldy McJohn", sort of Gravestone's answer to Cider Billy.
