Suggestions for XMTS Motto

[turpin]

I don't know, it just doesn't seem very welcoming to me. It comes across as too confrontational. I would think we want something showing unity, which will make people want to find out who we are and what we are about. We also want something that will make them want to be a part of our "clan".

Edit, that's just my two bits. I tend to agree with Phil that by the time everyone agrees the motto will be neutered to fit everyone's sensitivities.

Colin, read the post - he's proposing it as a BATTLE CRY. If Wallace had shouted "IN KILTS, FELLOWSHIP!" at Stirling Bridge, I don't think Mel would have had much left to make a movie about.

That's what I was responding to turpin. I can just imagine a whole group of people standing around yelling "Kiss my pleats!"

But if they all painted their faces blue and waved their arms about it would be really scary.

Motto - "In Kilts, Fellowship".
Battle cry ... hmmm, we would need something that sounds good when yelled ... or chanted ... in English (majority language) and hopefully Gaelic as well ...
What's Gaelic for "Kiss my kilted [body part one is situated upon while posting on XMarks]"?

Oh Gary, the commode is not actually considered a body part!

Whilst suggestions are still being lobbed into the slow steamer, I'll post these two which show just how bad things get after too many shots of single malt...

'Apron'd and pleat'd, we greeted'
...'cup of tea, luv?'...sounds like the kitchen at the parish hall on Women's Institute afternoon.

'Friendship chosen through yarn deftly woven'
...after a quick rub down with The Beginner's Book Of Poetry

Wow. While the poetry might be good for some circles, I think this is probably not one of them. I had visions of old english women in the 50's, sewing circles, and tupperware. A good laugh, but definately not for us. Thanks for sharing

Probably better if they yelled in Gaelic.
