Torn

I thought it was a fitting week to whip this one back out again...

Excellent Brave Article

Check out this awesome Brave article sent to me by Julia.  I had no idea Kelly MacDonald was doing the voice for the main character, Bree Princess Merida - or that she was Scottish!  She plays an Irish woman (and does an impeccable accent) on Boardwalk Empire.



Could you listen to the intro from Kevin McKidd four million times a day?  I could.

Off Kilter

So we were in Disney last week...and one night we trotted over to Epcot to meet friends.

And we're walking along...and what should appear on stage right in front of us?  A Scots Canadian band in kilts, called "Off Kilter".  I wish you were all there!  I was taking photos and texting Tracey like a mad-woman!  They were a lot of fun!

Chat

Yes! Chat! Tonight!  9PM Eastern!  AKA in about 6 minutes!  See ya there!  :)

A Scottish Tragedy

Just received this week joke from MOP bud, Hugh from Scotland:

DAVID CAMERON was visiting a Scottish primary school and he visited one of the classes.

They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr.Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'. So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'. A little boy stood up and offered: 'If ma best freen, wha lives on a fairm, is playin' in the field an' a tractor rins ower him and kills him, that wid be a 'tragedy.' ' 'No', said David - 'that would be an accident.' A little girl raised her hand: 'If a skale bus kerryin' fufty children drove ower a cliff, killing a'b'dy inside, that wid be a tragedy' 'I'm afraid not', explained David - 'that's what we would call a 'great loss'' . The room went silent. No other children volunteered. David searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?' Finally, at the back of the room, wee Johnny raised his hand... In a quiet voice he said: 'If a plane kerryin' you and Mr.Clegg wis struck by a 'freendly fire' missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a tragedy.' 'Fantastic!' exclaimed David. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?' 'Weel,' says wee Johnny 'it his tae be a tragedy, because it certainly widnae be a great loss..... and it probably widnae be a f***ing accident either!
