    Mistranslation of my name into latin.
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    Mine was an informal term used by British infantrymen during the World Wars to refer to themselves.

    I picked it though because it also seemed a rather apt description of the infantry in Medieval II (the installment I was playing when I signed up here). They all seemed to be either unable to attack at all, reliant on a formation which collapses at the first sign of trouble or simply not very good in the first place.

    I started, like I've told more than once, as Decius Curtius. Being an epic failure to remember the password, I created another one called Caius Flaminius... 'cause the diplomat of RTW was called in that way.

    Well, we can kill time for you. But such a post from the past....geez.

    Two points:
    1: motep = new name when my sprahawk account was banned from the flashplayer froums. Think I unconsciously stole it from Ihmotep.
    2: So many old threads revived lately...

    My handle has three meanings

    Gaelic cos I'm Irish I am from farming stock

    and

    Gaelic cos I like Gaelic Football and Cowboy cos I wear a cowboy hat at the games.

    And

    I am also a Gaelic Cowboy because all Irish men are secretly Texan in there hearts.
