      As am I. They use those fancy knives to strategically shave their sheep, I believe.

        Baa-aaad joke....

        “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

          Good news/bad news:

          Bad news -they're losing freedom of speech.

          Good news - nobody understands a bloody word they're saying anyway.

          Made me think of this sketch:

          Link to video

          Back in the 90’s I got to know a bunch of oil patch Scots from Grampian Region. With a bit of effort and nights of drinking I got to understand their brogue and expressions pretty well.

          Elbows up!

            When I worked in the UK we used to go up to Aberdeen quite a bit - we ran training courses for Shell and others. It's surprising how quickly it all starts to make sense.

                Because you can see Scotland from her house?

                    She's in Oz - permanently, from what I understand.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
