    The Moors ruled Europe for 800 years until King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella kicked the last of them out of Spain in 1492. There was a lot of interbreeding and some very famous Europeans are suspected of having some African blood.

    Ludwig Van Beethoven, for instance, was nicknamed "Der Spangol" for his dark complexion. He called himself "The Black Spaniard". His mother was from a region of Spain that was once under Moorish rule.

    Not that there aren't days that I consider getting a tartan jockstrap, and respond by flipping up the kilt and saying, "Aye, right down to me bollocks!"
    Is there anywhere you can get a tartan jockstrap?

    It's not dead. It's getting better. It wants to take a walk...

    Maybe, "Its only mostly dead". But I was hoping that Terry was back posting on the board.

    Just to answer this question, there is a vendor I've encountered at Highland Games, who sells tartan skivvies. I don't recall offhand if the line includes jockstraps, but it might!

    If I find the business card he gave me, I'll provide the link.

    Not quite a jockstrap, and not in your clan tartan, but ... bikini briefs: http://www.jockmcduff.com/index.asp?...TS&Category=24
