Is X Marks the Scot a Clan?

**Erisianmonkey** · 16th August 07, 11:35 PM

I like the clan notion. Xmarks is the mainstay of my social life, in all actuality. I like the feeling of family, and the fact that I haven't been able to get out of the house very much in the past year doesn't affect my friendships here like it has those offline.

My vote for plant badge is the Dandelion. (One of my favorite plants of all time. No lawn is complete without them, IMNSHO)

For a motto, I definitely like the "Not by blood, but by choice"

For a battle cry, I like:

Kiss my pleats!

...also dandelion seeds look like they're all wearing kilts!

I went out last night to a Mini-kilt night (we only had three), and before I went I went in search of a dandelion to put in the bonnet.

Do you think I could find one? - - No! All the neighbors have been very good at killing them off.

Now I'm going to have to cultivate my own patch, just to have someting to stick in the slot behind the badge.

A man after my own heart. So many people clear the dandelions from their lawns that when you see a lawn covered in them there is always an all green one close by. I always point out to whoever I am with how beautiful the yellow and green looks compared to the boring all green next door.

Ditto, dandelion.
Ditto, "Not by blood, but by choice."
However the slightly less confrontational,
Get your own pleats!
