Is it just me?

Or do all of you expect every Scottish person you meet to sing "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"?

1) one of the best shows i ever went did see and
2) i'm scottish. but it was my grandparents who immigrated here, so for me, it only happens twice a week. or so. the singing, that is. the scottishing happens every day.

That's an offensive stereotype.

Dale said...

And I expect them to look like that.

i actually expect them all to sing Some Candy Talking, but that's just me.

Not really, actually. I just expect them to try and blow me up with golf balls and torture-feed me haggis.

1) No, I expect them to say, "Ach, you wee moonkey ..." (From Disney's The Three Lives of Thomasina)

2) I love this song!

Kelsi-I won't let your Scottishness get in the way of us being friends.

Kirby-Och.

Jewgirl-You're back!

UberMILF-If not for stereotypes I wouldn't be funny.

Dale-Good luck with that.

Barb-You just have to be different don't you? :)

JD-One more time: Yes is ALWAYS funnier than no. Agree and add.

Suzy-You're not making my comedy lessons for JD any easier. But I forgive you. :)

Either that or to be all croony like Belle & Sebastian. Thoe sensitive Scots!

We have a Scottish janitor where I work names Jimmy. I have "accidentally" called him Groundskeeper Willie exactly 4 times.
He was not amused.

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

Missy-I confess that I love Belle and Sebastian.

Mini-And you do karaoke a bunch do you?


Whiskey-I nearly peed my self laughing when I read your comment.
