News from Shakes Manor

Things you learn from drunken Scotsmen:

1. Beer is good for your teeth because it’s enriched with fluoride. This is a Known Fact.

2. Beer is also good for your skin. The evidence? The perfect skin of Scotsmen.

3. BB guns purchased at K-Mart have enough fire power to hurt if shot at another Scotsman’s arse.

4. One scuffed jeans cuff is clear proof of having one leg longer than the other. Badly hemmed garments do not exist.

Today, Mr. Shakes and I and our guests—Mr. Shakes’ best mate and his girlfriend, visiting from Auld Reekie—are off to Chicago to visit Shedd Aquarium and continue our quest for beer and meat, so blogging will be a bit light again for my part.

Remind me, lest I forget, in coming days to post something about the insanity of watching 9/11 anniversary coverage with non-Americans. Oy.
