Forgive me kilted Fathers* for I have sinned.

I remember Lucky Charms!

Not seen them on the shelves of UK stores for many years now

[ozone]

McClef,

That's because lucky charms are formed...not baked or cooked. GB has, in it's infinite wisdom, likely decided to limit grocery stores to actually selling food.

Then again, iron bru is still for sale....so perhaps I am wrong after all :-)

Dread, I say that your retort was most wise and entertaining. I can never come up with stuff like that on the spot.

[elitekiltedcommando]

Dread.... That is GREAT! He had it comin'

[Fearnest]

Ah Dread... don't sweat the small stuff.

We all say things we later question - but you can let it go and decide to do differently next time (if you so choose). You just can't go back and redo this one, though.

And if this is the "worst" thing you've done this month, it's a pretty darned good month!

[McClef]

Irn Bru! Got addicted to it then had the Deil's ain jab getting any south of the Border!

A glad day when it came south! and supply was no long Barr-ed

[Warhoover]

Dread,

Its seems you may have hit a nerve with him to react that way. Maybe he is walking around looking over his shoulder now thinking that someone is watching him. He may even be wearing a tin foil hat now to protect his brain waves from reception. Still he got what he deserved. Don't sweat it there is a time and a place for everything. He opened his mouth and you shoved his karma back down his throat. Guid oan ye!

Guessing he boogied on outa there for fear you were angry at him...

One of my more successful responses to idiots - honed when a certain evil hamburger chain named their clown peddler front man a name that sounds the same as mine when spoken - is an icy cold silence with an eyeball to eyeball stare. You'd be amazed how folks backpeddle and apologize.

A variation of that is a polite, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you
mean." Or, "Why do you say that?" with a puzzled look.

Saturday at the Emerald Pools in Zion when the lady came up to me and asked, "Were you in the band?" I looked at her silently with a puzzled look. She fumbled around trying to explain that some band somewhere wore kilts. I listened patiently but still looked confused. I finally said I didn't understand because I wore kilts every day and that I was wearing this kilt today because it was the Ireland's National tartan and today is St. Patrick's Day and those are the Emerald Pools....when she heard how far off base she was she retreated.

Now I was polite the entire time....but I knew full well I was playing with her mind...and she was too caught up in her embarassment to see that...I think.

Anyway, point is there are many polite ways to mess with fool's minds.

Not saying a good comeback or challenge isn't fun too....

For penance you must drink three shots of rum and two woodchucks.

For penance you must drink three shots of rum and two woodchucks.

That is truly a harsh penalty, but sadly, one which must be paid!

Mmmmm, Lucky Charms ,they're magically delicious

[IEScotsman]

You know, I just checked in my handbook and that's exactly the right thing to say, apparently.

Honestly, I don't blame you for wanting to show that kilt-wearers are dignified people, but there are times whre you just have to bite back.

Ditto.
