  1. Don't think it's scottish lad. Best sources indicate origin unknown yet derived from middle english. The item on the kilt is called a sporran not a merkin.
  2. Obviously not a cosmetic one. I prefer to think that's a good thing.
  3. Just google merkin and go to wikipedias site paul.
  4. And another old friend: Saint of Me (Jagger/Richards) Saint Paul the persecutor Was a cruel and sinful man Jesus hit him with a blinding light And then his life began I said yeah I said yeah Augustin knew temptation He loved women, wine and song And all the special pleasures Of doing something wrong I said yeah I said yeah I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me And could you stand the torture And could you stand the pain Could you put your faith in Jesus When you're burning in the flames And I do believe in miracles And I want to save my soul And I know that I'm a sinner I'm gonna die here in the cold I said yes, I said yeah I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me I thought I heard an angel cry I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye John the Baptist was a martyr But he stirred up Herod's hate And Salome got her wish To have him served up on a plate I said yes I said yeah I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me Oh yeah, oh yeah You'll never make a saint of me I thought I heard an angel cry I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye I thought I saw an angel cry You'll never make a saint of me You'll never make a saint of me
  5. Have some Stones on me OB. Sympathy for the Devil/Jagger, Richards Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year, Stole many a man's soul and faith And I was 'round when Jesus Christ, Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate, Washed his hands and sealed his fate CHORUS: Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersberg, When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank, Held a general's rank, When the Blitzkrieg raged, And the bodies stank CHORUS I watched with glee, While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades, For the Gods they made I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all, It was you and me Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadors, Who get killed before they reached Bombay CHORUS Just as every cop is a criminal, And all the sinners Saints As heads is tails, Just call me Lucifer, 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint So if you meet me, Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah CHORUS Woo, who, Oh yeah, get on down, Oh yeah, Oh yeah! Tell me baby, what's my name Tell me honey, baby guess my name Tell me baby, what's my name Tell you one time, you're to blame Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who What's my name Tell me, baby, what's my name Tell me, sweetie, what's my name Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who,
  6. There is very little that comes close to a properly set up pair of Khorns.
  7. Yes in the western conference the stars are in last place, after making the conference finals last year. Sure they started the year off without key players Zubov and Lehtinen, Lehtinen came back and got hurt again. Now the captain and heart and soul of the team Morrow (married Guy Carbonneau's daughter) is out for the season. Still, no excuses, it's hockey. Turco has lost that lovin' feelin so far too. I remember when the stars first came to dallas, they were not good and we were just glad to have nhl hockey in town. I still feel that way now. Yeah they are looking terrible this year but at least we have hockey! They still might make the playoffs, you never know. And buffalo fans, by the strictest reading of the rule at the time it was and always will be a goal. Get over it, that goes for lindy ruff too.
  8. After several 14 footers I finally achieved 13 feet as well. I'm not sure you can go lower.
  9. Yeah, but by saying "since" they get away with it, especially the closer you get to the fab four's demise. After all, to old farts of the day, the beatles actually started with a couple of teeny bopper hits too. Since does not say better or even comparable. A better question might be what weren't they smoking and why not?
  10. Crack me up Dave. Everyone knows the library is between the "a" and the "t."
  11. Don't confuse me for arguing for legislation on this point. Should we legislate all executive pay? I agree that is a slippery slope. In sports only the workers pay is capped by the way. Of course we can all figure out why. However, if execs have run a company into the ground and then ask for taxpayer money to stay afloat then yes the rules should be changed for them. Markets can also be regulated to prevent the collective actions of players creating positions which have no backing in real assets from dragging down entire economies.
  12. In theory jeff. However in practice one or a few shareholders control the majority of the stock voting rights. It's an inside job.
  13. Once again you have seen the light! The best part is everyone will benefit. Still laughing at jeff and I trying to figure out how to switch amps...then you pulled out a couple of book files and revealed the hidden switcher like in a spy movie...
  14. Thebes, due to your longstanding service in the cause I will forgive you for the Spruce... Ummm, Colter, on the subject of copies....does Hammer of Thor ring a bell? [H]
  15. I've heard good things about the denon 304. Haven't heard one though.
  16. Dang! I thought maybe your interest would have been piqued to watch some MST3K.
  17. Warren Zevon in "It Ain't That Pretty At All," wrote: so I'm gonna hurl myself against the wall, cause i'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all...
  18. A lot of us, myself included, have no experience with the synergy line. Therefore we have nothing to contribute to questions about it. It's a case of keeping silent due to ignorance.
  19. I usually get on here with a stiff drink.
