Men in Kilts: Scottish Sport

 

"Skinny-dipping."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Sadly this week the blog post will be a little bit shorter as I've been dealing with the plague on human kind - and not COVID either, but taxes.
 
Adulting is one of those things you wish you didn't have to do once you actually become an adult, heh.
 
Other than that, however, we are once again blessed with some good old fashioned shot of testosterone, which would never be more imminently evident than in sports, because where else do men EVER want to clobber one another over the heads and be better than their opponent?
 
Sam and Graham didn't escape this vice either, and I think they enjoyed it much more than most.
 
Then again, they'd done it before on Outlander already, if you recall that episode in season one during which they go toe-to-toe in a hair-raising game of what looks to be a rather 18th century version of a mix between lacrosse and field hockey.
 
But I digress!
 
We return to our Men in Kilts.
 
You can find the link to the premiere recap at the very bottom of my blog, because naturally, I'll be following these two Scotsmen along for their adventure.
 
And what an adventure it is!
 
I mean, knowing there's bound to be a lot of laughter, you know sports will only add to it.
 
 
If it begins with Sam Heughan lifting up a heavy-ass rock, then it's going to be good.
 
Truth be told, if anyone had asked me, I'd probably have said Sam would win the little bet he and Graham McTavish place down: the loser will swim in the cold, cold waters of the North Atlantic ... naked.
 
Yeah, I'd want to win, too.
 
But even with the bets heavily in Sam's favour, Graham is the dark horse of this entire thing, because I refuse to believe Sam just let his pal win for the heck of it.
 
So of course they'll be throwing hammers - because someone apparently told Thor the Scottish people are his long lost tribe or something - and Graham wins.
 
They'll be playing golf, and that golf course ... let me tell you, I'm no golfer, but it looks like a dream. St. Andrews course is one for the ages!
 

And Sam loses the match.
 
That's already two out of three, but we have to give him a valiant A for effort in the rugby match, plus you gotta hand it to the man, he knows he looks good in the full on rugby kit.

His fans around the globe will PROBABLY say he looks even better out of it and taking some whiskey for courage (and warmth!) before he dips into the chilly bath he needs to take under Graham's happy supervision.

Graham, mind you, stays right where he is, all dressed up and nowhere to go but to their camper van afterwards.

As we still have 6 episodes left of the show, it's probably safe to say that no Heughan was plagued by pneumonia during the shooting of this video.

Until next week!
