    McDonalds is onboard

    My son brought me a cartoon from the bag of a McDonalds Happy Meal this weekend. I'll paraphrase the deal.

    Two Pokemon looking character's are wrestling. One is up on the top rope preparing to leap I guess and the other is mocking him saying your wearing a skirt. The kilted one says "don't you know it's a kilt". The other says, "Don't you know it would look better on me!"

    This is the second cartoon I've seen this week.

    The other my MIL pulled from the paper. I forget the cartoon but it is basically of 2 chickens talking and one has on a kilt with kilt pin (Good attention to detail) He is telling the other chicken that his family is Scottish from the Clan McNugget.

    I just knew that Cavscout and Mrs. Cavscout were raising their children right!

    Thanks for an early morning laugh.

    Coincidence? Maybe... maybe not?
    Interesting though.

    My Daughter has Mr. Blik from said happy meal. I found the episode that showcased kilts: April 7, 2006 Clan Destiny Mr. Blik and Waffle are dragged to Scotland in Gear by Gordon to prove that he is from The Highland Quid Clan. However, they find no evidence that he was once one of them, so Gordon is left in sadness. However, Waffle and Mr. Blik learn a Banshee haunts the Highland Quid Clan. Can Gordon somehow get rid of the Banshee, or is this the end for him, the cats, and the Highland Quid Clan?!? Special Guest: Taz-Mania's Jim Cummings as Klqain

    Wasn't that a line from that movie where Malcolm MacDowell plays H.G. Wells who is brought into the present day from the past and enjoys eating at "...that Scottish place..."?

    Ah yes, "The Time Machine" I think it was. Good flick about Jack the Ripper traveling into the future.

    I also saw the "Clan McNugget" cartoon.

    Kilts maybe on the rise! This morning at Target of all places I saw a cheap plastic men's wallet with the image of a photo of two kilted men wrestling/ playing rugby and another gent acting as referee. It was a Mossimo (sp?) brand item.
