My first Highland Games is the day after tomorrow. I entered the novice division for the heavy games. Going to a clinic tomorrow night by Francis Brebner (multi-time world champion and the celtic longsword guy from "Deadliest Warrior") and Ryan Viera (top ranked competitor in US) to get my technique fine tuned by the masters.

That would be a caber. My best friend was big into the scottish games and I'd go with him all the time. He's dead now. Caber got him.

Jazz, did you see how they carry and toss hammers and stones? My friend just played pipes so no hard core stuff for him. I always wanted to get all those drunk Scots together and go beat the crap out of a Ren fest.

I have often wondered whatever happened to all the telephone poles we used to have.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Just remember, it's heavy. Just think "I gotta see that the end of the caber comes nowhere near the sporran!"

Scots think tossing trees and and rocks is a good time.
Is it any wonder they invented golf? (My wife actually is half-scottish.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD7r6lDF7qc
It is always darkest just before you are eaten by a grue.

We have a weed for our national flower, a skirt for our national dress, our national sports (pre-football) involved throwing various lumpy things, our most famous musical instrument sounds like a roomful of cats being garrotted, and we have sheep's innards for our national food.
Say what you like about us, we don't really care what the outside world might think of us in many ways. (Not to put us down though, as we also invented whisky, philosophy, most of the major sports, television, Harry Potter and Oor Wullie) |
