Why are you reporting this puzzle?

It is with great emotion that I present this painting from my personal collection.........sniff......sniff.......
Here we see Chilla-bonga-bugosi, the second-to-last of the Mohicans, contemplating his imminent
demise at the hands of the pale-faces.......
An image appears of his beloved, Coragran Bugosi.........it is a love....sniff......that dare not speak its name, for Coragran belongs to the British colonial settlers who are in hot pursuit of Chilla........
The bird represents freedom - which the Mohicans are about to lose....sniff....forever.......

lela....isn't it time for a new puzzle....and new comments?

juneshone

uhoh! Pommygrenades over BongaBonga

gingerpeachy

Yes, you are right Psquirt....we cherish our freedom of speech....but with that comes sensitivity....a bully rationalizes his mean comments as freedom of speech and it doesn't matter how badly he hurts someone....

One of the great authors of the 20th century was Robert A. Heinlein. He was a profound social philosopher who went through life disguised as a fascinating story teller, setting his tales of adventure and derring-do in the realm of science fiction. It was Heinlein, not the NRA, who coined the phrase, "An armed society is a polite society." He also said we lost the effort to control crime among our youth when we adopted the one phrase "juvenile delinquent" instead of the two phrases "juvenile criminal" and "delinquent parents."

Hmmmmm. Haven't seen a single person shot on Jigidi, not even any clay pigeons, bullseye targets or watermelons. I guess the problem must be talking about guns. But then, talking is another word for speech, and freedom of speech is another cherished freedom we have here in America. Again, I realize that there are people in other parts of the world who don't understand it, who think that if they don't like what someone says, then that someone shouldn't be allowed to say it, but once again that's their problem.

Personally I think the real problem these days is all this music they broadcast on the television. Too much sax and violins on TV!

gingerpeachy

Psquirt, you know I'm talking to you....

juneshone

didn't know you had a catapult dear boy, I hope you don't fire things at animals, people pinging is OK though as long as you can run fast. You don't need a gun, nobody needs a gun but as long as there have been men there have been wars and always will be. Don't so much ban owning weapons just ban the manufacture of them then nobody will need to create a war

gingerpeachy

Oh yes, let's not have any gun control. The American National Rifle Association firmly believes that if everyone in the world had a gun there would be peace. A while ago you said you were proud that your ancestors "eventually cornered the second-to-last-Mohican and shot him down like a dog." I'm sure all our Jigidi native Americans found that a distasteful choice of words. And your talk of shooting at the Chechnyan rebels in Georgia must be upsetting to Jigidi members of Chechnyan heritage. It just makes me very sad that you choose to bring this gun violence to our peaceful Jigidi site.....

kaleidoboy

Helloo, Juneee!........I have read all that Mr.Squirty has said.......of course, there were a lot of BIG words there........does he mean that I should throw away my catapult and get a real gun.......maybe from WWI?........

juneshone

were you listening to that Kaleidoboy, tell a responsible adult. Poor lad the choice is yours where are you gonna find one of those? It's the adults that are responsible for the state of the Planet as it is.

Sam Cummings, the most famous international arms dealer of all, was once my boss. In almost every interview he'd be asked about the never-ending demand for more guns, in one part of the world or another. He would always answer, "The depths of human folly have never been plumbed."

Sam served in Europe during WWII as a behind-the-lines agent in the OSS, and segued into the CIA after the war. They had him investigating, interrogating and snooping for caches of small arms stored during the war in warehouses and bunkers all over Europe. He compiled lists of vast quantities of mostly obsolete weaponry, inventories and locations for the U.S. government.

Then it occurred to him that most of these arms were so out of date that they were completely legal for Americans to own, and completely useless to the governments that held them. He started buying old bolt action rifles that could be used by deer hunters, shipping them to America and selling them in all 48 states. Why pay $150.00 for a 7mm Remington when you could get a 7mm Mauser for $9.99 plus $1.50 shipping?

He resigned from the CIA and within a few years he was a millionaire, and a couple decades later a billionaire. He'd pay less for each gun (often twenty-five cents or half a dollar) than the cost of shipping them in bulk to the U.S. He bought French rifles from Germany, captured by the German Army, and German rifles from the French which they'd captured later in the war! Even rifles from the First World War still in storage since 1918. Pistols too, of course.

Sam was a genius. He called his company International Armaments Corporation, or Interarms, or IAC. The tape used to seal each and every box had IAC printed on it continuously. IACIACIACIACIACIACIA. Oops! That looks like CIA CIA CIACIACIACIACIA doesn't it? Gee whiz!

He got legal licenses in every country in the world where he did business, and U.S. State Department approval for every deal that required it. On the sly, the actual CIA used him to channel guns wherever they wanted them, and he was absolutely reliable. He often sold to both sides in local or regional conflicts, and he NEVER violated a United Nations embargo.

Yes, gingergirl, the arms business is fascinating, weird, strange and wonderful. I'm proud to say that I personally helped manufacture and import over 1,000,000 guns that are now owned by freedom loving Americans. I know there are people in other parts of the world who don't understand that, but that's their problem. I've also walked the halls of Congress, state legislatures and county and city councils working to keep more restrictive guns laws off the books. Mostly with great success!

The best way to keep kids from getting hurt with a gun is to teach them to handle guns safely. Not necessarily how to shoot them, just how to NOT shoot them accidentally.

If they find a gun they should know: Don't Touch! Leave The Area! Tell An Adult!

Don't Touch! Leave The Area! Tell An Adult!

Hee-hee!!......

gingerpeachy

Psquirt you talk as if you should get a medal for having to visit family and making do with antiquated technology etc. etc. I would imagine your daughter was glad to see you leave...her greatest fear would be your contamination of her children...while you were visiting you obviously were loaded down with guns ready to shoot at the least noise...you seem to thrive on violence....strange way to live...

stacker

Robbie, glad he made it safe and sound and of sound mind! This is psqirt we are talking about--Sound mind??????

lelabugosi

"drove".........surely you mean, "rode"?..........(on the road, of course)............

patsquire

When they saw me slingin' shots from my .45 back at the Chechnyans as I drove like mad for the border, they pulled the barricades aside and welcomed me with open arms! These good ole' Bama boys shore kin 'preciate a man who can shoot straight and drive straight at the same time!

lelabugosi

"Nighty-night, babe".....???!!!!!!!!...........
Mr.Le-Squiddle..........I am very surprised they even let you back in to Alabameee.............

patsquire

Nighty-night, babe.

juneshone

wonder if Neil young still remembers, Ah well the sand man is beckoning me, at least somebody on my stairs is and I hope it's just him.

patsquire

Mmmmmmmm, Robster, I passed through Vidalia, Georgia last year at onion harvest time! Picked up a ten pound bag, fresh-picked, and later I wished I'd bought two of them!

Junee, yes it's practically the state anthem around here. Any time a band wants to get a round of applause, a rousing cheer, and charge up an audience all they have to do is play the opening notes and the crowd goes wild.

Gemmy! Well! Humph!

Eeeeeeew, Roger, it WOULD be if it weren't flowing from your creepy pipe-stained lips!

I tell ya, it's great to get back to the good old Mac with its track-ball and away from my daughter's PC laptop and mouse.

rogerbugosi

"Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think it's a sin, yes "
Jolly good song, Squirty!..........................Toodle-pip!

Robbiel

Man that sounds like a wild trip Squire, so glad you made it through alright, safe and sound, in one piece, of sound mind and all the other garbage that goes with it!! Good job the Georgians didn't pelt you with Vidalia onions.........You would be singing "Sweet, sweet, sweet Home Alabama!"

juneshone

oh Monsieur le Squirt I just love that lil' ol' song, nearly as much as Freebird

gemstone

I do hear some booming in the distance...perhaps it's the Georgian rebels setting up their defence line so you can't get back in...just saying...

patsquire

WHEW! Home at last, finally! I don't understand Balkan politics much, so I don't know why the Chechnyan rebels invaded Georgia, but they had control of Interstate-59, a portion of the major highway system between my daughter's house in Virginia and this part of the world (Alabama), and it took me an extra day of cunning, stealthy manooverin' (and several sharp, exciting skirmishes) to get through and across the Alabama line.

Of course, a few years ago when we heard about the invasion of Georgia EVERY SINGLE GUN SHOP IN ALABAMA sold out instantly as we Alabamians bought every rifle, pistol and shotgun we could get our hands on, and every box of ammunition we could get our hands on too! Those nasty invaders might get into Georgia but there was no way they were getting one foot into Alabama!

So naturally once I managed to get across the State Line into good old Alabama (or "Sweet Home Alabama" as the song says) I was safe, and it was good to hear the cheers go up along the front lines as I made the final dash across no-man's-land at the border! WHEW! And WHEW again!

lelabugosi

Yes, Juneee - they're doing that already!...........

juneshone

developing about as quickly as tadpoles have they been on the sauce, what's she putting in their milk? Soon be hopping about all over the place, playing leap frog and stuff

lelabugosi

Hee-Hee!.....Not so many puzzles lately though.......I've had a lot of letters to deliver!

Elfie

Bee, Cee, Dee, Eff - oh, I see they are Adonisette's babies!! Got to do some homework I think!!

lelabugosi

They do appear to be developing very quickly.............

Robbiel

Now THAT is a scary thought June!!!

juneshone

carry on at that rate and they'll be running the country be fore Christmas

lelabugosi

Welcome back, Hanne-with-or-without-pipe!.......Yes, Bee, Cee, Dee, and Eff are now at nursery school........

juneshone

not exactly the same there are four new Bugosis in the World.

Elfie

A lonely man, SLOG and a fine eagle - Mohican or not - it's a fine picture!! With or without rabbits or carrots!! Somebody give him a glass of tadpolewine, he really needs it I think!! Hi again, all of you - nice to find you exactly the way that when we left!! Good old Bugosiland - Hail forever!!

lelabugosi

All I am interested in is facts........factual facts......no place for fantasy here......and it goes without saying (though I will say it) that I share my knowledge willingly, in order to free the multitude from the slavery of IGNORANCE......

patsquire

...as lelabug shows us all the time! Well said Junee.

The important thing to remember is simply this: ignore lelabug's mellifluous and half-convincing baloney and learn only from me, your one true source of erudition, scholarship and nollege, knolidge, nollage, learning.

Heading home today . . . . . . . check in with y'all tommoree.

juneshone

a little learning is a dangerous thing

stacker

You may learn a lot of stuff on this site-- but you have to ask yourself-- Do I really want to learn what it's teaching me?

teamac

I learn a lot on this site ;^)

patsquire

The science of geneticology is noted for the characteristic of gene regression, in which a gene controlling a certain trait may, over the generations, fade out and be replaced by quite the opposite trait. IF Y'KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!! And I think y'do. And I KNOW my clients at 1-800-get-lucky know exactly what I'm talkin' about (heh-heh). Or you could just ask my ex-Mrs. (which is pronounced "misery") octomom. The octo-nano-momulator extraordinaire!

lelabugosi

Isn't science amazing?!!...............

twoclubs

Cinderfella try it on!!

pdevredis

Small shoes?.......

jignut

Gemmy...............Small hands?

lelabugosi

Oh yes!!.............(my feet are on the large side, btw).........(just sayin')...........

gemstone

And we all know what "small feet" means...

patsquire

Funny you should ask, as Thrackmortletontownshire happens to be noted, renowned and famed for its peculiarly small-footed men and large-footed women. Strange but true (sort of).

Well, I'd love to chat but I'm off to play with my smart, strong grandkiddies. Choo-choo!

lelabugosi

And good to see you too, two (or one, as the case may, or may not, be), double-batter..........I think you may have hit the head on the nail with your erudite reasoning!....
Mr.Le-Squatch.......did your ancestor have big feet?.....Or maybe even just one big foot?.....

patsquire

Er, ahem, excuse me, I meant "dyeing," not "dying." But they were definitely stallions, NOT MARES!

patsquire

Well, there WAS a certain great-great-gr-gr-gr-great grand-uncle twice removed on my father's side, Bartholomew "Stinky" Squire, Squire of Thrackmortletontownshire (a famous English country shire) who was run out of England, er, I mean, decided to emigrate about that time. And I must admit it revolved around his penchant for dying his white stallions pink and riding about "in the pink" so to speak, over hillendale. But what, I ask, would be the chances that that same Squire Bartholomew was involved in Indian affairs out here in the Colonies? Hmmmmmm, I wonder..........

twoclubs

Good to see things are still amiss here in Bugosiland!! I wonder if the hairy bear was referred to as Sasquatch, aka SatonSquat or Squattish and today the variant PSquirt. Language evolves. That said, I have said my piece and my peace as I smoke it.

(Hey Lela and Bugosilanders)

lelabugosi

Strangely enough, (or not, as the case may, or may not, be), in his diary (which I keep locked away in the post office vaults) Chilla-bonga mentions "a big pinky-white hairy bear attempting to ride a pink mare that needs oiling.......he keeps falling off........my, how we laughed!"............
I am led to believe that he must be referring to one of your own, proud, ancestral pale-faces.........

patsquire

Chilla-bonga is looking very deer-stalker-ish-istical for an early American vegetarian, or did he supplement his bush-eating with some occasional venison and other "wild" meats? I believe some of my own ancestral pale-faces were proud members of the pursuit party who eventually cornered him and shot him down like a dog, er, I mean, a redskin, injun, or other pejorative term they may have had for him at the time. (I of course would never use such terms in today's modern world in which we live in.) Either way, I'm proud.

lelabugosi

Yes, precious-pebble.......he actually planted the very first Rebmudian carrot tree!.....
Bubba, I think you are being silly...........
octo-multi-thingy...........You must be referring to the third-to-last of the Mohicans......(who was also a Bugosi, as well, too).....
Juneee and Tom-minus.......They must have made a comeback.......
gerdje-thingy........Thank you.......My subconscious knows them all.........
Thank you, thousands-of-cakes..........I believe it is a vision of all time, for Chilla-bonga sees the past, the present and the future.......

cakes1947

A real masterpiece! Is that a vision of the future showing itself to Chilla-bonga-bugosi!! He must wonder what manner of strange dress she has on!!
Thanks Lela ~
time, 1:16)

Oh oh oh ...more and more complications !two new names on the Bugosi clan list : Chilla and Coragran .Lela , do you realy know them all? The Picture is one of the nicest till now!!!

ThomasCat

Yes, it's actual and true. Alice and Bob Mohican live two doors up the street with their daughter Fly-in-the-face Sally and their little dog Big Foot Rover....

juneshone

according to many Mohicans they are not extinct but alive and well in Canada

octomom

Where's the penpenultimate one? Or is that next? And, oh, watch out for that birdie behind you........ he looks like he's aiming right for your ears............

Robbiel

Rabbits?!...........My 89 year old aunt wants me to make a rabbit stew for her.........A big pot she said.........Do you have some to spare?.....

gemstone

Did he grow any of those Rebmudian carrots for his rabbits?

lelabugosi

...........(he also kept rabbits)...........

lelabugosi

Yes......he is standing in his vegetable patch......

Robbiel

How did I manage to get on your board Lela?! That is a fine painting indeed, I cannot keep up with the history.........A very regal looking Mohican........must have been a fine chief of sorts. Is that lettuce growing on the rock?......

lelabugosi

It was named the "Convent Of Our Lady Of The Lucky 7".......................

ThomasCat

I think the convent Coragran went into was really what we now consider a casino....

ThomasCat

Surreal-Heidi....the confusion lies between our two countries....up here in Canada we don't have two dollar bills....they are phony.....we only have two dollar coins called the Twonies....

lelabugosi

Precious-pebble....an easy mistake to make!......
Your-plumpishness...........Coragran was born a Bugosi.......Chilla-bonga did indeed have Bugosi blood, but then, most of the world's population has a certain amount of Bugosi blood, for the Bugosis are the fathers (and mothers) of civilization..........And, as we all know, incest is relative......all relative......
Not-so-limpy-watches......yes, she took a vow........she was thrown out of the convent when she was repeatedly caught smoking in the toilets.........

Surreal_Heidi

And SLOG..... Maybe I don't fully understand what goes on in convents, but if she wound up in one, how can you be a direct descendant? I thought they took a vow of chastity in those places?

Surreal_Heidi

Thomascat.... Two dollar bills aren't phony. THREE dollar bills are phony.

Plumpossum

Was Coragran born a Bugosi , or was she actually desperate enough to marry one? Your fickle followers need to know if incest is another of the Bugosi questionable "accomplishments."

gemstone

Hahaha...I should have recognized the frame but in the tiny thumbnail picture I thought it was a legitimate posting for the jigidi theme of the week...aaaaand, I should have been suspicious of the title but when one is curious and clicks rapidly one does wind up with a red face (no slur intended)!

Sir_Wainthorpe_Bugosi

Jolly sad tale.........here. sweety, take my handkerchief.........sniff..........

sweetlittleoldgranny

I am a direct descendant of Coragran.......after losing her one true love, she tried to shoot herself.......but missed.......
She took that as a sign from above, and ran away from her family to join a convent.........
Does anyone have a kleenex?...............

ThomasCat

If Chilla-bonga had got off that pedestal and high-tailed it back to the tadpole vats in the winery they would never have found him and he would have lived a long semi-productive life....unless Coragran, who looks very suspicious, turned him in because she can't be trusted.....she is as phony as a two-dollar bill.....

Surreal_Heidi

So now we know how old SLOG is!!! And she looked just as old then! No wonder the Mohicans are extinct!

lelabugosi

Second-to-last.

bigdme
