Even after two weeks of living among Scots, Billy Boyd is The Scot for me. Love his voice, accent, the whole bit.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
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.

Have you watched the Disc 4 intro? I love that, at the end, Billy says, "And make sure you get out of the house once in a while."

Billy says, "And make sure you get out of the house once in a while."
Which is an astonishing example of knowing the audience. Advice I'm occasionally successful at taking.

Hoy! Grumble, grumble. 1000 years of damage to world culture and that little pippin-come-lately represents us? Well, could do worse, I suppose. And have.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I actually like the generosity that PJ and crew demonstrate in showing us the fuck-ups, and almost-fuck-ups.
Lordy, yes. I have a feeling that filmmakers for years to come are going to draw valuable lessons from that stuff.

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).

And with typical Buffista synergy, Billy Connolly was on tonight's Daily Show rerun (from just before Christmas?) and he was fucking brilliant. Jon was suffering from a terrible cold, and Billy had him paralyzed with laughter, using some of his great old urinal routines. What do urinals have to do with promoting Lemony Snicket, you might ask? Dunno, but Piss Hockey was discussed.
