Gratuitous Caledonian Cultural Blogging
While there isn’t complete certitude in my family as to the exact path that my paternal genealogy takes, it’s generally accepted that my ancestors can be traced back to the land of Robert the Bruce, via Nova Scotia.
In the spirit of the sentiment “if it’s not Scottish, it’s crap”, I present a clip that some guy culled from the film “So I Married An Axe-Murderer”. It’s comprised exclusively of all the scenes in which Mike Meyers plays his own father – a fiercely (roll that “ier” sound when you pronounce it) proud Scotsman. Enjoy it before some fargin bastage at Paramount sues YouTube.com to get it removed.
It's Friday. "Let's get pissed!"

Posted by: GroovyVic at February 9, 2007 10:24 AMMy personal favorite is when Mike Myers tells Nancy Travis, "I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare." A few years ago I cooked a Scottish birthday dinner for a female friend of Scottish ancestry, and after eating it we both agreed there's more truth than poetry in that line.
