I Will Be Kind To Scotsmen.

___________________________

I was told by my friend 'S' (who is not Scottish) that she takes issue with a comment I made in the comment section of my Evil post. In the comments, I said "stay away from all Scottish men, period." She thinks it could be taken badly by one of my three readers or something - what are the odds of that, really? But now, I can't stop thinking about it, even though it's probably nothing to anyone but her.

Like Stephen Colbert, I don't "see color" or race. Being a heady mix of bloodlines and raised without racism in my home, I really am non-prejudiced. Admittedly, there is no Scottish in me (well...not permanently...) but the Irish and the English will do, won't it? As a side note, in case anyone's curious, the rest of me is African, Native Indian (Mohawk) and there is a rumour of Italian, a rumour which no one in my complex and secretive family will put to rest. My grandmother had 18 (that's eighteen) children, so anythings's possible on that front. The Italian is there, though, I am convinced, since I am one of the hairiest people I know - and bodily hair of any kind is not in the African or Aboriginal genetic composition, nor is it a major physical feature in the the UK or wherever; however, it is a major feature in the Italian genetic makeup. Plus I always talk with my hands and yearn for passionate vocal expression in kitchens. Okay, I'll stop while I'm ahead. Whatever.

I love men. What I meant in my comments, and what I meant by "hardly harmless" in my post, is that Scottish men are the sexiest men on this earth. Sometimes I don't come right out and say a thing, as it will lead to other thoughts about the thing, which will make make me want to keep writing about it right then and there, which will make my already wordy posts even longer. I try to be as compact as possible, y'know.

Please understand: when I turn and behold the sexual carnage I have wreaked upon my corner of the world, the flaccid bodies which lay steaming there are mostly of the Scottish male persuasion; and I know I must, for the love of all that is decent and good, be kind and cautious in my interactions with them, even at bus stops.

Well, this has been my best reasonable facsimile of a disclaimer, or something, I guess. I don't really care about all this in general, but I will say I regret any offense my lack of forthright communication may have caused, to whoever (mostly to 'S', I'm sure). And yes, I do understand that a human being can be a mix of many races and still be a racist (cuz humans are sooo complex), yadda yadda.

Alrighty then.

I kept telling myself, "y'know, Sugar Smacks is just a vile, virulent racist, but check out her blog anyway...maybe THIS time you can get past all the hatefulness and into the writing."

Since you asked (wait, no you didn't), I'm some sort of mix of white, like when you smear snow off the sidewalk, all gritty and grimy, and that smear leads me to believe that there's some Scottish in me, like, ALL the time, not just when I'm camping with my Scottish buddies.

Race, sexual orientation...what else can I glibly trash this afternoon?

Ah, I'll figure out something.

Lisa always wants me to talk in a Scottish accent... like Connery in the Bond movies... i can't pull it off.

Maggie said...

I'm part Scot! But, alas, not a man. DAMMIT.

Still, with what I've seen so far, I think I may be in love with you. I came over from the review (a rare double "I fucking love you"?? Come on.) which I don't usually do (come over from those reviews) and now I'm so so so so happy I did.

I have a feeling I'm the first of many.

Ryan Lawson said...

Congrats on the double "I Fucking Love You"s!

Well deserved, my dear.

Frankly, the virulent, vile racism is what keeps me coming here. Well, that and the pictures of tits.

Oh wait, never mind, that's my blog.

Your friend, Ewan McGregor.

Sugar Smacks said...

Ryan, you're Scottish...

Minijonb, can Lisa do the Scottish Accent? Some Canadians are good at it, even the non-Scottish ones. Maybe she can coach you.

Maggie: *blushing* Mmm, yes, the single I Fucking Love You is quite rare enough. Thanks for coming over and reading me, and for your words.

Ryan, I keep smiling and sayin "this is just crazy." My ego is still gidily dancing around my apartment. I Fucking Love everybody toaday!

I thank you for the congratulations, Mr. Lawson.

Limpy, "come for the tits, stay for the racism." That would be a great subtitle.

Sugar Smacks said...

Hmm, I'm so excited and "gidy" toaday that my spelling is falling by the wayside...

As a mix Anglo/Scot I'm not sure what to say .. other then I'm glad I'm married .. it makes me safe from your womanly mix raced powers.

Sugar Smacks said...

ac@45, I don't know what to say either. Except that I keep giggling at my "womanly mixed race powers."
