"I Know That Dude!"
SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you are 48% through The Scottish Prisoner.
I know the Twilight fans will appreciate my giggling when I read "the Auld Ones" last night. I couldn't help but picture Carlisle, Edward and the gang hunting in the woods in their suspenders and fedoras. Yeah yeah...that was "the Cold Ones"...but still.
OK so TELL me I didn't sit right the hell up in bed as I was reading about "a most philosophical sort of Jew" named Sterne and his fascination with all things Harvey Klinger (aka BUGS for those non-Brady Bunch loving Outlander fans.) WOW. Didn't see THAT coming. I love how Diana throws us these little bones so we can have some fun. So Jamie heard about him before Claire ever met him in Voyager! Outstanding!
Lastly for this post - WHY did Jamie have the feeling someone was behind him while the Abbot was telling him about the hand (and subsequent body) found in the peat? Please do NOT answer that if I will find out later! (Spoiler Freak, party of 1?) If it doesn't come up later, please do comment away! :)

If it's Not Lawrence Tynes, it's CRAP!
A friend of mine from Scotland (remember Hugh? Or as I like to call him "Thee Mullet" since he sported a fantastic one back in the 80s) just told me Lawrence Tynes - aka kicker for the NEW YORK GIANTS (whoo hoo! Superbowl, baby!) - lived in his hometown in Scotland until he was about 10 years old. So of course I did some Googling...and found out he was also the grand marshall of NYC's Tartan Day Parade back in April of 2008. Not too shabby!

So... where did the Jacobites park their cars?
So as I'm suffering in the doctor's office waiting room today with tendonitis of the rotator cuff, Tracey emails me and says "Oh please blog this!"
I concur. Absolutely hiLARious. Never in my life did I think I'd actually LAUGH about something that has to do with Culloden Battlefield.

If you are familiar with the annual Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia on New Year's Day, you will love this. If you are not familiar with the annual Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia on New Year's Day, you will love this.
No clue about the double S. I have to assume all those people know how to spell Scotland. ;)

Outlander Chat Tonight
Outlander Chat Tonight - 9PM Eastern!
My husband Tom is moving along nicely in Dragonfly...and I am going to try to wrangle some good commentary out of him while we're chatting. Up until now, it's been verra amusing. Let's just say last night he told me Claire "never listens to Jamie and just charges in with both breasts."
Needless to say, I almost fell off my chair from laughing so hard. Should be interesting, folks. ;)
