    As to the original post, it's true what they say, the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits!

    Forgive me Father Bill, for I have sinned. Yet again. In fact, now that I know about the Laphroig, I need to inquire about a volume discount.

    Beyond the ken this is.
    When you don't know whether to laugh or cry you know the whole subject is not worth too much discussion.
    OTOH I do dislike it when fools pontificate and make belief look small.
    Sinned I have Father Bill but never as a result of my clothing only in the lack thereof.....

    In this opinion:

    Oft, upon "silly" or "frivilous" topics being raised to the Rabble, this e-place "behaves" as a pub, where someone shouts out, "Hey, did you hear about the mope who said....?"

    And the place goes up for grabs for a wee bit.

    With my thoughts on this thread, someone told me it was sinful to be retired. I kid you not. No mention of me be Kilted.

    Well, obviously, Padre, you need to get some rest. Then you will be invigorated. You can go forth and do more good works. And THEN you will be re-tired.

    Interestingly the closest to fire-and-brimstone preaching I've heard here is a wonderful local Pastor who was born and raised in Scotland, has a strong Scottish accent, and sometimes preaches in kilts!

    I wonder if he has seen that idiotic article about sinful kiltwearing...

    Can't I still be a sinner? I didn't ask permission, and don't ask forgiveness. I gotta be me!
