Should've learned "You take the high road", the Runrig version. I suspect if that had been played in the baseball stadium they all went to the resulting foot stomping and jumping up and down would have resulted in the stands collapsing.

The cones things happens to one statue in one city in Scotland. No idea why it became such a huge thing.

Since the antics of the Tartan army were putting a smile on your face, I thought I'd put up some of my favourite memes that I've seen about their visit to Boston.



From what I've been hearing, the guys considered Boston to be much more fun. How I explained things to Kristi though was that the Tartan army is like a fantastic one night stand. You'll have great fun and a lot of memories, and yeah you'll want more but in the morning they are going to be gone and have moved on to someone else.



Funnily enough Tennants is like the baseline beer in Scotland and not considered anything special. It's available everywhere, although having tasted a lot of beers and lagers in the US I can understand why it would suddenly become much more popular. It is also about 50 to 100% more powerful than most of their domestic produce.

I did that once with a scammer just out of curiosity to see how long they would go. They never gave up, and I just had to block them eventually. They were trying to use romance to get me to invest in some kind of forex scam. There was a cult-like element, as "she" kept referring to her financial "mentor" by name.

THE WEDDING DATE (2005):
Another romcom I agreed to watch w/ my wife - okay, mostly watch, I dipped out for a while in the middle to do chores. I've endured worse. There are several cute lines/moments that were obviously calculated in a lab and tested on human captives to elicit sappy reactions. The direction is generally glib but it does move along fairly briskly. There is some nice UK location work. Amy Adams is third-billed, either right before or right after her breakout Oscar nomination for JUNEBUG (in other words before she didn't have to accept roles in disposable romcoms). She's a blonde here though, meh.

Star Debra Messing is a redhead  :smile: and gives a performance that helps one understand how she could have a hit TV show though also how she never had much of a career in movies. The hunky gigolo she hires to be her wedding date  :lookingup: is played by Dermot Mulroney, who gives a performance that reminds me how he could keep getting work in movies but also reminds me of why (after 30-35 years) I still can't distinguish him from Dylan McDermott. Of course the major flaw in this movie is the premise: Why does a successful career woman who is also a beautiful fun redhead need to pay Dermot Mulroney thousands of dollars to go to a wedding with her? He's a very generic hunky guy, of which there are plenty in both the US and UK. To her credit, :teddyr:  Madame 10rda says Mulroney is unattractive because he has a hairlip. She has better eyesight than I do but I see no hairlip - I mean, young Joaquin Phoenix, now he had a hairlip (which I guess he's had fixed). But then again, if you were a wealthy hot woman who felt like she needed to throw her money away on a gigiolo, Joaquin Phoenix would probably be more fun to take to a wedding...    2.5/5
