    Is that a "No true Scotsman" fallacy?

      Asher is OWNED!

      BTW Scotland has some fine native beers. Heather ale and a wee heavy are both fine traditional Scottish types of beer.

        No ****ing ****?

        The original version of the post said "A true scotsman doesn't drink beer over scotch", but then I remembered who I was talking to so I DanSed it to quite literally say "No true Scotsman"

        Rough crowd. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a league of my own over here with wit.

          Guy walks into a bar and knows the religions instantly.
          The Methodists all want to buy their newest friend a round.
          The Baptists are sneaking out the back door, so as to not be seen in such a den of inequity.
          The Catholics are passed out at a table with their heads in puddles of spilled booze.

            The Protestants are arguing with the barkeep?

              Methodists and Baptists are Protestants.

                  Why would the sect most closely linked with the temperance movement be buying anyone alcohol?

                    I suppose it's due to a misconception on your part. I don't know.

                      I was slightly discombobulated by the concept of buying a round for an individual. Round is plural.

                          So I take it absolutely the very worst combination of ancestors would be Welsh/French?

                              Did I mention that one of my ancestors was one of the United State's greatest explorers, mapping out the Louisiana Purchase? One of his cousins single handedly added the Northwest Territory to the fledgling United States. My family is related to Mark Twain, Lady Astor, and two presidents - Harrison and Pierce.

                                Sometimes it looks as though those remotely related to the "great and the good" like to trumpet these connections as if they were some kind of personal achievement.
