In my hooch hutch as we speak!
I thought it was down in So-Cal next to Rancho Cucamonga.
Liquid gold.
I’ve made similar mistakes just reading the headline and maybe a line or two. It’s the headline writer that misled
Everybody knows Scotland's on U.S. Highway 23, just east of McRae, GA.
Not Scottish except for some percentage of ancestry but I know where all the US states are and their capitals since I used to watch a lot of Jeopardy years ago but stopped that habit in recent years. Wyoming is the least populous state in the union so each voter there when it come to the US senate at least is the most powerful voter. Californians are the least powerful since they belong to most populous state.
Oklahoma is pretty easy too. It is the only state in which the Panhandle really looks like a pan handle.
In 1940, it's doubtful than many Americans could find Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu or Iwo Jima on the map.
True, but I think the vast majority of these people do not know their a$$es from a hole in the ground either. How they survive from day to day, is beyond me. I think John Wayne said life's tough, it's tougher if you're stupid.
Two fingers, neat, and a Dunhill Churchill to you, Sir!
Nothing about Lagavulin had better change.
I think I could find Guadalcanal but the others would be tough unless they were named. I would know pretty close to where they were tho.
Mine are just about all Scottish except a little English and a bit of Irish. I think Collins is Irish, that is my G Grandmother’s maiden name.
I think John Wayne said life’s tough, it’s tougher if you’re stupid.
Yep, he said it and you’re right—there are many people walking around their heads up their a$$es.
(Look for an email)
“Its next to Ireland isnt it?’
I take it you are saying that with tongue-in-cheek? Scotland is next to Ireland like the Bahamas are next to Florida. Scotland is of course on the same ‘island’ as England, and borders England to the north.
And I don’t have to look at a map to know that. I have been there. I have also been to Ireland.
As for the 33%, or whatever the number, we are reaping the results of the dumbing down of America - the goal of our educational system since the 70’s, and maybe before that.
I have to admit I never heard that before, so I looked it up. Funny.
Ditto !
Yup...I was first introduced to some of that single malt stuff in a pub in Scotland in the late ‘70’s. There are some good single malts, and some not so good. And there are a couple really good ones come out of the Bushmill’s distillery in Antrim, Northern Ireland.
