C Elsewhere gave me a Forgotten English calendar for Xmas. Its one of those rip a page off ones that is now sitting on my desk at work amongst all the other kipple I keep myself amused with.
[Oh and the new PWFC 2004 calendar has been deemed *cute* by the secretaries but they want another Leah Rosenthal Cartoon one. I must of course obey!]
Anyway, each day of this calendar gives you a new word of old and vanishing vocabulary as well as some folklore. Its oddly
cool and very entertaining.
Today's entry however, takes the proverbial biscuit:
Old Man's Milk:A composition of cream, eggs, sugar and whisky. Used by the highlanders after a drinking match-John Jamieson's Etymological Scottish Dictionary, 1808-1905
Maybe its just me but that's really creating some images in my mind..
Duncan: [looks dubious] Your joking!
Methos: No really, its an old scottish folk remedy
Duncan: How come I've never heard of it before then?
Methos: Well its not exactly something your Ma could recommend is it?
Duncan: No I suppose you have a point
Methos: So...
Duncan: [sighs deeply] Alright! But I'm still not convinced that giving you a blow job is going to make my head feel better..
There has to be a story *here* somewhere..
