Oh!
A scot Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

cho: Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt.
They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Ws nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth

They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone
But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won
first prize"

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won
first prize"

Well gather round people
and I'll tell ye a story,
a story so auld
frae a time long gone by.
It comes frae the highlands
where the wind blows the heather.
To think of it now,
brings a trae te me eye...

Well the romans invaded
what's now called Great Britian.
But the Scots were so thugh,
they could not take all.
But they captured the English
and used them as slaves,
to toil day and night
to build Hadrian's Wall...

[Chorus]
With tartans a sailin'
pipers a whailin'
laddies and lassies
appart frae the crowd.
When the fightin' is done,
the battle is won,
there we'll be standin'...
Scottish and Proud,
oh yea we Scottish and Proud.

So if you're a fighter
and scrappin' a lot,
You'd best shy away
if you're scrappin' a Scot.
Wi' one ****in' blow
yer head will be squished,
Then he'll let his scottie dog
lick the blood from his fist...

I have a Scottish friend who's very proud of his heritage. He always talks about how the scots fought in wars and things like that. This is definetely something he'll want to hear about, if he hasn't already.

It also amuses me terribly when someone is described as 'African-American'. That makes no sense. American is a nationality, African is..well..it's just a continent. It isn't even an ethnicity as there are several different ethnicities across Africa. It also amuses me when those from the Carribean are also included as African-Americans. The nationality is 'American' and the ethnicity is (possibly) 'Negro'.
Putting the two together may or may not be useful for databases and things, but at least do it properly. Not that anyone is said to be African-British or anything, though.

I utterly concur Mort. I wrote a short essay thing [well as part of an multiple-essaylet exam] for my soc102 course about that actually, well actual topic was Affirmative Action.

But in it i talked about exactly that. Like i know 'hyphenated-Americans' who think hyphenation is one of the stupidest things ever, they'll tell you they're every bit as American as anyone else in the US.

Sometime try calling someone Japanese-American who actually hails from Korea, yes, /that'll/ really make them love you and think you're enlightened and politically correct i'm sure.

For that matter, how many damn generations has it been for the majority of people since they even had ancestors in their hyphen-country, or even if they know or care about any of those ancestors.

Now admittedly that's not true of everyone surely. I'm rather fond of being predominantly irish/scottish and then english as the rest. It allows me to check 'Atlantic Islander' on those forms, and to demand reperations from any British people i meet for all the time they oppressed my ancestors. Do nae be hatin'.. or something.

A bayonet isn't designed to be brutal in death - the whole point of it having bloodlines is that you can ram it in, pull it out and pain is kept to a momentary minimum - a good stab and you're sorted. The Geneva Convention (I'm pretty sure it was that or another one of those 'rules of war' documents) stated that if death is not instant, it is humane, and acceptable, with the bayonet inserted, to fire a shot and kill your opponent. So yeah, the media is stupid when it says bayonet charges are inhumane - they're meant to kill with speed and a minimum of pain, and have contingencies like the one detailed above if things don't quite go right.

Thank you, that is all.

It's amazing...sometimes, those prisoners...they're not the most willing group of people to listen to orders and instruments must be used to control them. Crazy isn't it?

It's not just a shovel, it's an Entrenching Tool. These things have serrations and blades and grommets and sprockets and woggles and..

Perhaps someone in the military can post a good picture of one, i can't find any that show it well.
