Jimbalaya Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 hey Jim, great to finally meet you in person.... Guido Wawasee. Isn't that what young children say when they pass a convenience store in Pennsylvania?

The Oz Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 hey Jim, great to finally meet you in person.... Guido The pleasure was all mine. So far, only a few people are able to pick me out of a lineup. I can hide out as long as you, Solly, or Gary Matczak don't rat me out. Sort of a self-imposed DCP witness protection program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyroo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 "Renegades" No Tony... After your initial comment I ran upstairs and dug out my old copy of Last of the Mohicans. I only saw five tribes mentioned in it - Seneca, Mohawks, Mohicans, Algonquins, and Sunrisers. Nothing at all about renegades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyroo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The Pequa tribe was on Long Island??? somebody should jump on this and get them to sponsor you.... The Pequa tribe OWNS Foxwood casino... Tom, I think Foxwood is owned by the Pequods, not the Pequas. Pequods were a southern New England tribe, extending up to the South Shore of Boston. According to my sources, the Pequas owned and operated a bunch of summer places on Long Island - sort of like the Catskills, only for Indians.

Andyroo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It was also the boat in Moby Dick. Yeah, I remember the Moby Dicks; they were big in the mid-Fifties, although I don't believe they ever won The Dream. Their drum major, some guy named Ahab, was a real nutcase. The height of his nuttiness was during the VFW Nationals in Boston when he took off his wooden leg and directed the concert with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabalumnidrummer Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Tom, I think Foxwood is owned by the Pequods, not the Pequas. Pequods were a southern New England tribe, extending up to the South Shore of Boston. I believe it's the Mashantucket-Pequot Tribe if I recall correctly. Funny true story: I once asked a friend who goes to Foxwoods quite frequently how he liked the museum that the tribe has there. His answer: "They have a museum?" Those Pequas were on Long Island (as in Massapequa, one of the many homes of the Sunrisers over the years). There was quite a good competing winter guard back in the 1960's from there, the 'Pequa Squaws.' Oh, and the ship in Moby Dick is the "Pequod." Close, but no cigar.
