And one of the reasons why I don't teach anymore, Ms_N.

It's quite the ribald song, mary. And Gaelic, too.

It sounds like a limerick, involving someone from somewhere Gaelic.

Mary_x, it's aural friendly, not too broguish. You'd love it. It involves
a passed out drunken Scot and two young ladies wondering if the old saying is true if they wear nothing beneath the kilt.

Saul,
Nope, I don't know the Drunken Scotsman, but I probably wouldn't be able to make out the words. "If it's not Scottish, it's crrrrrrap!"

Point taken, Hammock. I don't mind the naughty schoolgirl look, if I'm
seeing legs and plaid, but I prefer Britney Spears to Braveheart.

What floats your Boat?
"What was needed in this instance was a parade of hairy kilt-wearing men to mill around the lens for a while."


Unless thats what they were after...

Because Pepsi needed representation in the lemon-lime market, don't ya
know.  Personally, I'm a 7-up man, myself.  Anyway, the Sierra Mist commercial is a howl.  By the way, have you ever heard the song "The Drunken Scotsman", I beleive it's called?

Saul,
Well, maybe, okay, yes, every night, I have a fling with the tv. I did miss the Sierra Mist commercial you're talking about,but I get the gist.  The commercials are way better than the product. Why re-invent 7-up or Sprite, they already exist.

Hey, kingmi. Ain't it a shame?

Mary_x, that sounds suspiciously like a Sierra Mist commercial.
Have you been cheating on your computer with the television?

Saul, inconveniently, the prince of Wales is on his honeymoon!

Saul,
Now I have an image of hairy-legged Scotsmen in kilts posing coyly over a subway grate, like Marilyn Monroe, kilts a-flapping. Ayeyeyeye

Hey, Ariala. If cameras were still as large as, say, the nearest beer
cooler, we wouldn't be having this damned problem.

Nah, not anymore. That's old hat. Now, being a freak is a
24/7/365 way of life.

Moral of the story: Don't wear mini skirts in Manhattan subways
