Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I have mentioned before that I live near what is known as "the biggest little Scottish town in Australia" I have yet to get involved in their annual Easter Highland Gathering. Next year will be their 100th, so I'm looking forward to that.
In the meantime, they are celebrating International Tartan Day on July 5th. They are having highland dancing, haggis tasting?, massed pipe bands, a "piper's retreat" and prizes for best dressed lassies, lads, bairns and wee dugs.
What is a "wee dug"? Do we still have any Scottish members here? I'd appreciate an answer.
If it is as I suspect...my chihuahua had best watch out. He will look great in a kilt and a jaunty little cap
But THE best thing I have just realised!!!!!!
My hub's band is playing at the local club that night..yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa. I have plans
I will search the local 2nd hand shops and try to find as much tartan as I can to dress the band up in. I know I have seen kilts there in the past. I hope they will be open to my....... what I consider to be, brilliant idea
And the possibility of bringing in a bagpipe player to join them in a rendition of ACDC's "long way to the top"...that really has me I myself may dress as a character that Magda Subanski(sp?) does. Magda is a brilliant Aussie comedienne( she was the farmer's wife in "Babe" 'the big chick") She does a Scottish character who is famous for her"thigh -slapping".
Oh, I am brimful of ideas..look out.
It is also the night before my 22nd wedding anniversary...so if hub doesn't realise I'm an edjit by now....he never will...eh?
but to cut a long story short(who me?)
what is a "wee dug"? Please anybody?
ye take the high road and I 'll take the low road
and I'll be in Scotland beforrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre ye......."
