In my finest tradition.........how do you get a french horn section to sound like a chainsaw?.......play the chainsaw out of tune.......
Allright, now you're warmed up for the pain.........
I was on the phone a couple of days ago with my mom, and somehow the subject turns to ancestry. I'd always known about the Irish, the Cherokee, and suspected a few surprises that my racist grandmother didn't tell us, but how about this? Apparently, our family was largely Scottish!
In all practicallity, I was born and raised texan, which is really a culture all it's own. But if I wanted to move out and explore the part of my cultural heritage which wasn't poor white farmer and later middle class suburbanite ancestry, I wonder which way to start?
Begin with a marathon of Braveheart, Highlander, and So I Married an Axe Murderer? Throw logs end over end? Gotta get a cleighmore, always wanted a cleighmore. (heh heh......this side faces enemy.........the military bloggers'll get it).
Start wearing a skirt until I can get a kilt? maybe not that one........Practice reciting Robert Burns in an outrageous accent? I could start with getting really drunk for awhile, but I don't want to get things confused with my Irish heritage until I've settled in.
Any suggestions?
Dear Lord, no bagpipes. I'll play accordion even, but not the bagpipes.....
