'Shindig'
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.
Which, with any luck, will be mostly written by Billy and Dom.
They need to do all the narration too. Or maybe just Billy. Even after a month or so of watching lots of random Scottish actors (the cadence reminds me so of Jamaica, yet is still different and interesting), Billy's voice sends me over the squee-edge.

Actually, I've always thought of Sean Connery as The Scot. Except in my world, where it is Billy Connolly.
I was just about to say, "It could be worse--it could be Billy Connolly."
Just remember that, ten years ago, the definitive Aussie was Paul Hogan, so it can always be worse!
Billy Connolly's riff on the Scots as being blue people was hysterical. Plus the tale of the swim trunks.

Also what to say if you get caught "wanking" (and why it's so appropriate to call it wanking).
