I'm so sorry that you live in a world where you've never experienced Bruce Campbell. His picture is badass simply for the fact that he made those plaid man skirts look cool.

Bruce Campbell is cool but American dudes in kilts will never ever be loving cool.

A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense




No idea who that is but there's a lot of goofiness in that picture.

I don't want to imagine what that looks like when riding at any appreciable speed...

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.

He made it look less lame, even Bruce isn't that powerful.

Anyone who wore one of those on the Western Front is a direct counter to this argument by being hardcore as a motherfucker for wearing a kilt in those conditions:

I don't care enough to look it up, but maybe his ancestors are Scottish? My grandfather's name was Campbell and his family indulged in the cow stomach.

Plus, looking at his film career he'll do anything for paycheck.

He came to me and said,
"Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head"

I live within an ear shot of a huge goddamn horn that vibrates the entire city of Duluth Minnesota. The trains, the port authority, and the ships have a sort of dialogue every time the lift bridge goes up and down, and considering I live 2 blocks away from the rail-yard and the ice finally cleared the harbor I've got another long season of *HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKKKKKKKKKKKKKK* followed shortly after by a *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* every hour or so.


There were about 70 ships backed up in Sault Sainte Marie last week due to 8 foot thick ice. This winter was so drat cold that the entirety of Lake Superior froze up, which is extremely rare.

That's like 3 million tonnes of raw material that aren't making their way out of the interior and into the industrial centers where they can be turned into iron beams and big macs. It brings huge portions of the economy to a grinding halt.

Ice cleared late last week and the cutters managed to carve a route into the harbor. A trip from the Soo Locks to Duluth that usually takes about 20 hours took 9 days.



The crowd goes wild.

All this kilt/Scottish talk and no Mad Jack Churchill?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
"In July 1943, as commanding officer, he led 2 Commando from their landing site at Catania in Sicily with his trademark Scottish broadsword slung around his waist, a longbow and arrows around his neck and his bagpipes under his arm,[12] which he also did in the landings at Salerno."

Yeah, he is in fact of Scottish descent, from clan Campbell. It's not just a case of "Yeah, I'm 128th Scottish, och laddie!".

You forgot the best part:

Wikipedia posted:

In May 1940 Churchill and his unit, the Manchester Regiment, ambushed a German patrol near L'Epinette, France. Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the enemy Feldwebel (sergeant) with a barbed arrow, becoming the only British soldier known to have felled an enemy with a longbow in WWII.
