Ah Think Ah Hear His Fitsteps!!

on Mr Akins as "Hell's" disciple here and wonder whether he brought out the
worst in us or the best in us. I'm inclined to think it was the former, but
when he is away, (nae doobt daein the deils work), we could maybe reflect
(quietly, this time I think) that he did bring a number of issues to the
fore. Issues we would never have faced in a thousand 'politically correct'
years.
You see, deep down, I really think he touched a raw nerve in all of us. In
close to a full embattled year, he did show us that when people are really,
really right, they can be just as bad as those who are really, really wrong.
Well, I won't say it was fun. It as more...."testing", in my opinion, and
when you threw away the 'chaff' of insult and abuse, there was usually a
real 'hard rock' of a grain of truth in what he had to say. And that's what
hurt.
Wee Steven might be away, but it is just a matter of time before his 'twin
brother' appears, coming round the corner. Maybe taller, maybe whiter,
maybe blacker, maybe another bugger who doesn't give a toss what YOU think.
Have you got the stamina for another 15 rounds.??

Mourn his going all you want Glenallan you'll do it without me.
Steven Akins may be entitled to his opinions by US Constitutional
right but in my own view they imprison and seperate him from decency.
While he isn't alone in his outlook and while there are many of
differing skin colour and religion as nasty as himself, I think his
contributions are similar to what one would carry in onto the carpet
after stepping in dog shite. Steven, with your vanity you certainly
are checking on your goodbye posies. Thanks for humiliating the
South. Thanks for exposing us to real and undiluted poisenous
thinking. Thanks for reaffirming in the minds of our Old World
cousins all that they have heard and distrust about American
Brigadoonery. But mostly, you sorry product of your unknown father's
defective condom, thanks for going away.

This man claimed that the fact that he was willing to steal from Wal Mart
made him " a good scot". He also claimed that his obscene racism meant that
he was supporting scottish values and traditions. His pretensions about
being the Chief of a mythical clan could have been very funny in another
context, but I see nothing "politically correct" or "hateful spite" in
refusing to accept or tolerate a racist, or someone who is working so hard
to bring my country into disrepute.
I won't be removing him from my kill file - I doubt that he'll stay away.

"Fun"? If the truth be known, all you men were having a ball. Everytime this
fish would swim away, you would change the bait and try to bring him back
in.
There are people like Mr. Akins in the world, and you were given the
opportunity to publicly undress this scroundrel. You had him shackled in the
square, and you were throwing tomatos at him.
The question is, is Mr. Akins someone's alter ego? I wonder. Maybe the Scots
don't play such games. Maybe they do. Amazing he stuck around though, where
presumably he wasn't wanted.

Somehow, the spelling of "Banny" does not look "right". Oh well, I was

I consider at least one of my questions a well aimed rock that hit
between the eyes, but asc wasn't in the header when it happened. It
didn't take much for the good ol boy to lynch himself all that was
needed was enough rope strung out by several people. He also gets
worse in real life by public statements and shunning from influential
members of a small community in real life.
>The question is, is Mr. Akins someone's alter ego? I wonder. Maybe the Scots

No, Holly, that is the real Mr. Eakens (spelling altered to rile the
lurkers).
I'll admit knowing at least one other that was so far around the bend
that the fairies couldn't catch the bus he was on even. This guy was
rather harmless except to the wife who had been suckered into his
stories. He loved telling tales of once being a member of the Black
Watch, etc and loved dressing up, his personality changing to fit the
togs of the moment. People let him carry on until he made the mistake
of wearing military uniform devices he wasn't entitled to in front of
people who take very that kind of thing very seriously.
In other words, like Mr. Acken posting in rec.heraldry, he tripped up
in front of the wrong people.
>Amazing he stuck around though, where
>presumably he wasn't wanted.
All part of a personality disorder for which there is no cure. I
usually leave people like that alone in the KF because nothing can be
done about them and they usually look sillier arguing with their
imaginations. Unfortunately, this one has attempted to make a
nuisance of himself among people that I've found myself socializing
with from time to time in real life.
One must now ask why he's left. He posted one last question about the
retirement of the LL in the heraldry newsgroup. Perhaps he heard from
the Lyon's office last week and it wasn't the answer he had hoped for.
If so, I'm sure knowledge of that information will be posted on the
net soon enough. I'm just guessing, but if he did hear from the LL
last week and has slithered off with his tail between is legs because
of it, I win the bet because I said he'd hear by the middle of
November I think, if not sooner.

Well, when I was new to scs, I jumped into the middle of a thread, and
believe or not, I was feeling sorry for pooooor Mr. Akins taking such abuse.
What he was saying at the time was rather tame. Well, the members of scs set
me straight pretty quick. Still scraping the egg off my face. After that
incident, I checked out another post or two, and I thought, holy cow, are
there really people like that in this world. I had never known anybody like
that before. He can't be serious. Best to know all the facts though before
getting into the thick of things.
However, the Akins thing has become a bore. Where are all the stories and
recipes? I made Pancetta and Barley Soup (swiss chard, shallots, etc) last
weekend, and today I'm making clam chowder. Anyone want the recipe? Don't
you just love autumn (and Bon Appetite) ?

I had a grand fish chowder recipe from Cape Breton that I would trade
but I cannot locate it right now. That reminds me, some friends were
to visit a family beach cottage today where I was informed that there
was squid left in a freezer with no electricity. I hope they went
dolphine watching instead...
By the way, have you been to the Jack Quinn's pub there? We just had
one open locally. I'm still not sure about the menu since I've only
had a couple of chips. One of my Irish friends was nosey and asked
some diners at another table about their desserts before ordering a
piece of chocolate cake to die for. He can get away with that kind of
thing since he's good looking and has a nice voice to match.
The place is nice inside. All the wood and carpenters to assemble it
were brought from Ireland. I spoke with the carpenters one night
before the place was finished and they told me they had worked in Vail
building a pub, but I don't know the name of it. It's been years
since I've been to Vail. All I know is that there is a JQ's where
you're at. The builders were heading for Japan next to build another
Irish theme pub. Anyway, a lot of money went into it, but the peat is
missing, there's only one snug, and it's definitely not big enough to
hold a ceili (or ceilidh since this is scs) band. I don't even want
to think about what the place will look like at closing time on St.
Patrick's Day. They hire a friend of mine to stand outside in his
Donnachaidh kilt and play his bagpipes to attract business once in a

> Don't
>you just love autumn (and Bon Appetite) ?
It's too late in the season but next year, if you haven't already and
have the time, take the drive on the Rampart Range Road. It starts
there in the Garden of the Gods and ends south of Littleton. My
parents used to take me on the drive when the aspen leaves were
turning and tell me how Sunday drivers who ventured out too late in
the season were found frozen in their cars from time to time back in
the 1920's and 30's. That was before snow mobiles and global warming,
of course.
I think I'll stop now before I find myself back OT by mentioning the
Alferd Packard grill at CU Boulder and then drift into a discussion
about Sawney Beane, and MacRobert's frozen foods.

Too late! :-) I've dined there myself! (both my brothers are CU

If he came across as just another of the "trailer-trash Bubbas" that he takes
such pains to distance himself from, he would be easier to dismiss with a
shrug. I think that part of what makes his bigotry so provocative is that he
appears otherwise to be fairly articulate and well read. That, and his
insistence that his racism is appropriate in one who affects to be a "Hielan'
gentleman" ...
IMO these factors aggravate his offensiveness, making his opinions seem
perverse rather than merely misguided.

That's ok. I'm too exhausted this morning to post a recipe anyway. I got
over my painter's block and started oil painting yesterday. It sounds
relaxing, but it is not. I'm painting the room where I was staying in Paris
(as others before me have done.) After 6 hours and squeezing out 10 tubes of
paint, you say, "It's crap!", and you want to throw it in the fireplace.
Best to sleep on it though (so to speak) and take a fresh look at it in the
morning. I still may scrap it all off and start over again. I want to get
it right.

Me too, and air out the place. Throw it in the ocean. The horseshoe crabs
will love it. I hate it when those darn things grab your line. You think

I've been there many times. I believe it was three years ago that the place
opened. At the time, there were Irish accents to be heard, but no more. I
guess we scared them off. The food is very good pub food-fish & chips, lamb
stew etc. The place seems to be doing well and thriving, I'm happy to say.

Well, I think that's ok to do. People dining out in public are usually in a
congenial mood. Scottish poached eggs were on the menu at a restaurant in
which I was having breakfast in England. I didn't know what that meant, and
I had a Scottish couple right next to me to ask. It was early morning, so I
guess I didn't wish to impose a conversation on them. I ordered the Scottish
poached eggs any way. I suppose, it was the smoke salmon on top, that made
it Scottish. My first experience with smoked salmon was on my trip. I was
hooked.

Also, there is a restaurant called "Fado" in Denver. Same type of pub. I've
only blown threw Vail. Been to Aspen, though, during the summer. I won't go
into the mountains during winter. I thought I would be safe in May last year
to visit my daughter in Grand Junction and ran into a blizzard around
Eisenhower(sp?) Tunnel. The mountains are very scary, when it snows. You can
assume, I don't ski.

If a snug is one of those private dining cubby holes, they have about 5. I
don't like them, because I like being out in the thick of things. But, I
assume an occasion could call for occupying one. One Sunday morning, I took
my daughter to JQ's for her birthday. There was a 4 piece band right next to
us in a 1/2 open booth next to the fireplace. It was a nice surprise. JQ's
in CS is more narrow, than it is small. And, now there is an upstairs dining
area, which I have never seen. I usually go straight to the bar. :)

That still can happen. You need to be prepared whenever traveling in the
mountains. It gets cold at night even through much of the summer months. All
people that live in the mountains know to carry certain supplies all the
time in their vehicle. The weather can change very quickly here.

I frequently have Scottish Poached Eggs, mid morning, (the best time),
at the House of Glenallan.
In truth there is no mystery here. The Mistress of Glenallan,
Mrs Irene O'Kane Black-Glenallan and I, both Scots, of undeniable Irish
extraction, thoroughly enjoy Poached Eggs, here in Lanarkshire.
This especially true in the onset of winter. Of course, it is necessary to
have toast, marmalade and a copy of the Herald or Scotsman to hand.
An out of date copy of the Irish Times is sometimes useful.
For conversation sake, if you get my drift.
Voila....Scottish Poached Eggs. Yes......
Cheers

This dish was a poached egg on toast with smoked salmon on top. Wonderful!

Now I've heard of _that_ but not as 'Scotch poached eggs"
Was there no sauce Bernaise??
I guess it was a smart operator localising their menu GBG
Try smoked salmon on top of scrambled eggs on a toasted muffin ;-)

No there was not. But, Bernaise would be a nice touch. However, in Paris, I
had a cold poached egg under a salad with salmon, shrimp and Bernaise on
top. Needless to say, considering it was Paris, the dish was wonderful.
Delicieux!
