ZAMBA!
I hope that ain't impolite or nothing, Kara; did not intend it to be. I learned that word in olden days from one of my buds in the Marines, now sadly among the Departed. In civilian life he was a member of the North Carolina Cherokee band, but he had a Creek name..exiled Creeks took his ancestor to Oklahoma; somehow he made his way to the Cherokees in N.C. where he lived before enlisting then after he got discharged until he passed about a year ago...He referred to himself as a Zambo. I have always thought that was a cool word but maybe only because it's so closely associated in my "mind" with my bud.
I tried to get him to come visit me, get him some while he was here, and that is the story of how I came to find out nba on shmb's don't signify basketball. But he never came and then he died. The end of the world draws nigh, drink the good wine first!
