    And yet, this post comes on Valentine's day. The poster child for "I have to buy a present, but haven't got a clue what to get".

    If guys will pay to have a star named after their sweetheart, I've no doubt that someone read that ad and went, "Hey, there's an idea!".

    From the article I read on the plane it seems their business is really blooming

    I'm just sorry I didn't come up with the Idea, It would pay for a few more kilts

    And there's been plenty Scotch mist the last few days. I've been running around bottling it.

    Thats a great Idea.

    Is there a market for Rocky Mt. soil in Scotland?
    I'm sure someone in the Isles would like a piece of dirt from the land to which their ancestors migrated.

    With X-marks help we could import and export soil all over the world shiped in tartan bags

    I could contribute Mojave Desert dirt if anyone was interested.

    So, what's wrong with buying Irish soil? I purchase Scotish water all the time.

    So what do you suppose the customs agents would say if I chucked all my stuff out of my backpack at the end of my next trip to Scotland and filled it full of good old Scots soil?

    Warwick Davis was in Willow - is that what you are thinking of?

    Yes, Warwick was in Willow. But sadly, he was also in all six Leprechaun movies!
