Did anyone else see the Highland Games segment on the Jay Leno show...I believe it was friday night...they got some none too bright college student and sent him to the Highland Games...hilarity ensued.

I didn't see it, but my Chief Ranger did -- he told me about it on Saturday. They were at the Estes Park Colorado Scottish Games.

I stumbled on it as it was starting. It was quite funny. He tried some of the quisine (Beer, scotch, Haggis and something else) and actually made a great caber toss though I suspect it was a women's caber. They decked him out in a very nice Scottish outfit at the games but as soon as they returned to the studio footage he had reversed the kilt and had a whisk broom in place of the sporran. All in all it was funny and it looked like a gorgeous day to be at the games.

Leno seems to have a talent for finding the truly clueless and getting a laugh out of them. Part of what I found marginal was that this character was running around asking all of the other kilt-ees if they were (how shall I circumlocute this to avoid censorship?) in the state of being whereby the verb form of the "boys" being liberated applied. You know...the term that begins with "free-------". This dude made a point of letting them know that he was in the aforementioned state of being. Thanks for sharing.

He obviously wasn't accustomed to drinking whisky...perhaps a shot of Jaeger would have been less taxing on his digestion.

The caber toss was pretty good, though...
