    Are you suggesting that if enough Scots are in the gondola, we could say aloft for days without burning any propane?
    I resemble that remark!

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Yes, especially after consuming those aforementioned hot tamales and jumping beans.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Sorry to be so impenetrably dense, but to whom? I must have lost the thread. It wouldn't be the first time.

    Thank you. Now I get it. I'm pretty culturally deprived you know. I loved the "British Invasion", but somehow I missed "Prefab Sprout" - probably thought they were a manufactured French legume group. But now I have a great new trivia question.

    I watched a lot of MTV videos in the early to late '80s - thought they were a great artistic medium. But, when MTV started showing "Remote Control", I left the network and never looked back. As soon as I could, I programmed it out of my "remote control".

    Ditto Mookien. Freshman year of collage MTV started - pretty much the background to my studies and throughout the 80's then they and VH1 wandered into Reality shows etc and got deleted. Don't think either even show video music - maybe the wee hours of the night. I can only recall one kilted video from Guns-N-Roses.

    Alternate answer: I canna say, but it takes a really large basket to - uh - hold 'em.

    New Mexico Tartan & Balloon?

    This was made in March 2012 and operated by Ashworth Hot Air Balloon Team.

    The New Mexico Tartan:

    I will be keeping my eyes pealed for it.

    I seem to recall Axl Rose in a black kilt. Can't remember the song though.
