was robin hood a real person? - Page 4

Lurker · 07.06.2006, 01:41 PM

I saw a program about this a couple of years ago. I think there were about three different guys who all had similarities to the Robin Hood myth so it was like an amalgation of these three guys. I think one of them had the name as well but in those days apparently the name Robin Hood became a kind of nick name for criminals, it was used in records and stuff.

Good Ol' Boys - Waylon Jennings

Capo at first fret

A ...................E
Just the good ol' boys
A
Never meaning no harm
E............................B7
Beats all you ever saw, been in trouble with the law
E
Since the day they was born

E.................................A
Straightening the curves, flattening the hills
E....................... B7
Someday the mountain might get 'em
E
But the law never will

Chorus...
B7
Making their way, any way they know how
E
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow

A.....................E
Just the good ol' boys
A
Wouldn't change if they could
E..........................B7..................... ...........E
Fightin' the system like a true modern day robin hood

YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I didn't notice anyone respond to this. The generic answer is 'Emiritans', but there are more convoulted answers which I won't go into.

Ask a Canadian, a Mexican, a Cuban, and a Brazillian who live in their respective countries if they are American. After kicking in your teeth (well, except for the Canadian) they will say no. "American", though I understand your confusion Sn@ke, generally refers only to people in the USA. It just evolved into that, and the aforementioned countrymen would not disagree. A mutual concensus you might say, regardless that the whole west has some form of "America" in its name.

Huh. I thought the indigenous Arabs of that area were called "Emaratis," but either way this makes perfect sense to me, and also serves as an example consistent with calling citizens of the USA "Americans."
Thanks for that.
Smartypants.

Easy, his band were called the merry men accounting for translation that could also be the gay guys, they wore tight pants, they also listened to lots of kylie minogue.

The BBC started showing their new Robin Hood series on Saturday. If episode one is anything to go by, it's groundbreaking in its crapness.
