Howdy from a Scot in Tennessee!

HaggisMacJedi · 06-05-2008, 10:58 AM

Just found this place while researching which e-book device I would like to purchase. I'm currently investigating the Sony 505 and the Amazon Kindle. The Sony looks sleeker, but the Kindle looks nice too, and has more content readily available.

Hi HaggisMacJedi and welcome to the Forum. I have a Sony 505 and like it a lot.

Imagine haggis is a bit hard to find in TN

Oh, I LOVE your username!!!

The Kindle really isn't as "ugly" as everybody says, when you see/feel one in person. And it *is* much easier to get content for it. Not to mention, Amazon's prices usually beat everybody elses' price.

Welcome!

Greetings HaggisMacJedi!
Care for tripe as well?

Well, hello from a Scot in Wales!

You'll find this forum an absolute godsend for help and advice - have fun!

Hello HaggisMacJedi

Taylor514ce · 06-05-2008, 05:18 PM

Howdy. So, I'm wondering what a Scot in Tennessee chooses to drink? Kentucky Bourbon, right?

Hello from a Scot in... errr... Scotland.
MacSween's Veggie Haggis for the win (presumably you can't hunt your own over there, don't expect they have the right kind of hills).
Probably not a good idea to introduce the other great Scots delicacy, the deep fried Mars bar, but neeps and tatties are probably safe.

HaggisMacJedi · 06-06-2008, 05:59 AM

Actually, the hills here are perfect for the wild haggis!

Because of my faith, plus an alcoholism issue in my immediate family I don't drink, but if I did, Ben Nevis for me! Oh, and Kentucky Burbon in Tennessee??? Come on, we have Jack Daniels here.

Tripe isn't my favorite either.

For what it's worth, I ordered the Kindle, and it will be here within hours!

I'd like to join everyone in welcoming my good friend Haggis. Even though he wears a skirt, he's a real man's man.

pshrynk · 06-06-2008, 09:21 AM

Oh... You also need an avatar. Or they'll assign one. They tend to run to pink, sparkly fairies here.

Or squirrels.

HaggisMacJedi · 06-06-2008, 11:33 AM

NO THANK YOU to anything sparklie...and the wee faeries can float away from my freaking avatar! There, that should fix my avatar!
