love and xxx's
I recently received an electronic mail frae The Antipodes. It was groovy and had red letters in places. This was exciting, but lo and behold - efter the signature (a lady's I should emphasize) there were but only twa 'xx's. Now I am perticulrly lavish wi' my textual kisses, but here in Scotland even the maist mean skinflint widnae dream o' sending less then 3. Maybe this is a cultural thing, but I wid urge citizen's o' other countries always tae sign off wi' no less the six or seven 'x's. This can only accelerate the process o' global peace and understanding. Let your love flow like ink frae a pen!

I clicked on the topic thinking it would be a funny accord of modern society on the theme of "love and porn." And the thing is, Mac o' the Isles could actually make that interesting!
i find geekboy speak a lot harder to read than Mac'o's prose. But maybe that's just me getting old.

But since we've gotten ourselves into such a pickle already, I wonder if Americans are being deprived here. After all if one is without a significant other, their only kisses come from great aunts and grandmothers, and maybe the occasional peck from mom.
Maybe up north one will see female friends (or movie stars) greet eachother with a kiss, but not down here! And us poor men...never on the receiving end of a welcoming peck! Is the idea of europeans walking all about the countryside kissing everyone in sight just a hollywood myth? Or am I missing out on a world of casual smooches here?
Mr Tailor! Worry not for I too hae suffered a paucity o' spontaneous affection. A chill peck on the cheek frae a brittle maiden aunt is but a blast o' winter breath compared tae the warm, strawberry smooch o' a groovy chick. I havnae been the recipient o' many feminine wiles or conflagrations o' untamed passion on a train for many a long year and on the odd occasion when it did happen it took me that long tae realise what was happening that the moment had invariably passed. However there are some remedies for this apparently hopeless situation. Firstly wealth and power, although if you are as financially discomfited as your name suggests this may no' be an option (although I lay claim tae the title o' maist potentially destitute AI member ever) . Ye should therefore lure the object o' your desire wi' some romance. Put on yer tight black jeans, leather jaiket, white t-shirt and slick back that hair intae a quiff wi' a comb kept in yer back pocket. Tak' the lady o' your desires tae a drive-in movie in one o' those big automobiles that begins wi' a 'C' and she will fall intae your arms. I have seen this on American satellite tv programs many times so I consider mysel' something o' an expert.
Sir Mac o' the Isles posts are funny...
I have no idea what he is saying... but I LMAO reading this thread...

Hey, does anyone know how long one should greet people with a Happy New Year? What if you see a friend in July you haven't seen since last year...do they deserve a "Happy New Year"?
We really need to go through and archive his posts in order to teach out children what role playing is (a lost art 'tis).
Makes me miss an old Scottish friend of our who recently passed away form lung cancer, talked just like ya mac.
As for the issues of X's and O'x.. well whatever, its all good
Ahh Mac o'! I was all ready to go have my passport photo taken and drop school to spend my time touring the european countryside in search of some casual smooching. Once again, my dreams are dashed against the harsh rock of reality. Ahh!

While potentially the most destitute, I have a diffcult time believing our own resident knight would have trouble with the ladies. Methinks you are too humble!

Hmm wealth and power. Well, I've got a student loan and a working car. I'm getting there.

I've shrunk my best t-shirt to a particularly Deanesque size and have gone about rolling up my iPod in my sleeve to look like a pack of cigarettes. I am ready to take on the world. I just hope it works on the fellas as much as the gals (for I must admit ? as groovy as they may be, the ladies are of little interest to this tailor!)
Cheers,
the poor tailor
