    I think I'd make X Marks proud today...

    ...but because of its political nature I don't think I'm allowed to post it on the forum here. Let me just say that I stood by what I believe to be an extreme injustice by using wit, intelligence, and my Scottish heritage.

    Just ask Arlen and Artificer. They'll tell you.

    Same here- what kind of mean tease is this? Tell us all how you used wit and intelligence to make us proud, and then not sharing?

    Good for you. I'd love to know what happened- PM me with it if you feel so inclined.

    One of the most pleasant things that I've learned about the Scots is that they traditionally oppose any political or social oppression and that they do not hesitate to be demonstrative in their opposition to them. I have always supposed that this is because they have been dumped on so many times that they know how it feels and just can't stand by and see it happen to anybody else.

    Knowing Greg to the extent that I do, I can only imagine that whatever it was, it was a true zinger.

    Best

    Which is why it really makes the blood shoot out of my eyes when the "powers that be" in my country dont take time enough to recognize these realities.

    Firefighters. In fact, there was more than one FD/PD pipe band in the Capitol today.
