important announcement

[owlmoose]

In honor of today's release of the new Outlander book, and in the tradition of September as the appropriate month for holidays in honor of fake accents, I declare today, September 27th, Talk With a Bad Scottish Accent Day.

Aye, wi' a bad Scottish accent. I havena heard anyone who wasna a Scot able to fake a Scottish accent that wasna sair awful. But if ye can prove me wrong, I'll no argue an' I'll thank ye for it.

Now, I dinna mean to insult pirates. After all, we hae pirates to thank for keepin' global warming at bay. But their day is past. Today it's time to celebrate another sort of braw, bonnie lad: the Scotsman. If there be any sight more stirrin' than a verra fine Scottish laddie all decked out in his tartan, I dinna ken it.

Lassies and laddies, cheeties and bairns, will ye no join me in celebratin' this fair day?

I dinnae ken what ye're tryin' to achieve here, ye radge lassie, but I'm jest a punter fra' Edinburgh, so aye, I'll join ye.

Ach, a ringer! Ye seem tae know what ye're doin', here. All I ken about typin' in a fake Scottish accent comes from readin'. So ye hae lived in that fair land, o' the brakes an' the heather?

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

Almost - I've seen Trainspotting like, ten times. :D

That counts.

If someone who's lived in Glasgow shows up, then we're really in trouble.

Och, lassie, I'm wie ya. But I dinna ken any more ta say. Maybe after I've got the book.

I left for work a wee bit early today. I told mysel' i' twere to buy gas. But ye'll ken the true reason.

So ye beat me then. I be plannin' a visit to the Noble Barns after work.

Would that nae be the "Noble Bairns"? ;)

Ye'll most likely be readin' before me, as I willna ha' lunch until 2pm or so. Or p'raps we'll begin at the same time. All I've read tae now is the jacket cover.
