Is X Marks the Scot a Clan?

[MacWage]

Battle Cry Suggestion: CHARGE!!

As in, buy more kilts, or forward into the fray to wear kilts on the job, or where's the nearest pub...multi-uses and meanings.

Unless someone can say in Latin "smouldering plastic charge card."

And, Opus the penguin always relaxed in a field of dandelions. Maybe we can get Berke Breathed, his artist, to draw up Opus in a kilt laying in a field of dandelions....

Ron

I missed this discussion, as I was VERY busy the last couple weeks (vacation and work).

Ron, interestingly, "Visa" means "I Charged" and is based on "Veni Vidi Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered), Julius Caesar, converted into "Veni, Vedi, Visa" ("I came, I saw, I charged).

I like the dandelion badge and the "By choice, not blood" slogan.

The clan chief, well THAT WOULD BE HANK (duh!), as he rules (and OWNS) the roost here, and does a good job at it.

I would agree that we are EFFECTIVELY a "clan" (see signature), but we COULD NOT be a "true" Scottish Clan, unless someone named "X Mark" was born in Scotland. (I know that by Clan MacBubba, which is a recognized Clan SOCIETY, but not a real "clan," as they can't claim a historic "MacBubba" or "Bubba" that fits official requirements.)
(Me being nit-picky.)

Great, but let's have it in Latin.

Neatly put. We're an international clan society, even if we're not a historic clan. This for me encapsulates the thoughts in Panache's excellent post atop this thread.
