Last night there was an old "Taggart" (Scottish homicide detective) episode on TV which centred around a bunch of AD&D players, some of whom were getting bumped off. They didn't get into too much detail on the game which left me wondering if Scottish AD&D characters have their own special gear, such as:

Bagpipes of Pandemonium for the Bard
Kilt of Unholy Revelation for the Mage
Broken Whisky bottle +3 for the fighter
"Summon Celtic fans" instead of Animate dead to take on mind-flayers etc.

There are a couple missing I think...

BELT OF FREE LOVE: Slip this around your significant other's waist this Valentine's day! Gives him/her a -10 when rolling vs. seduction attempts. Plenty of fun for you, just don't let them leave the house unescorted!

STAINED NEWSPAPER OF TOMORROW: Looks like a nasty piece of fire-starter, but a closer inspection reveals the date on the paper is always "tomorrow's". Said to be useful when gambling (sports, stocks) and for solving today's crossword puzzle.

MONITOR OF MIRROR IMAGE: This monitor displays an illusionary "mirror image" on top of the actual screen display. So while you are, say, playing BGII or eyeballing some illicit web site, your monitor displays (to anyone else looking) some bland corporate mumbo-jumbo: a Word document, spreadsheet, or bit of verbiage from HR posted on the company's intranet.

CURSED/BLESSED TELEVISION OF GUILT: This television broadcasts a constant, gentle, never-ending telepathic message to all viewers consisting of a list of things they could be doing instead of watching stupid sitcoms (Friends, other trash) or sports events(football, etc.) The strength of the broadcast is proportional to exiting guilt levels; if low, the message is quiet, if guilty already, the message gets progressivly louder the longer the television is watched. This item is either Blessed or Cursed, depending on how you look at it.

I always know when the next drink will be one too many. But by that time, I don't really care

There is never one to many.

Hear hear - it is good Veh. isn't here, he'd just remind me of my indian name, he came up with some time ago

Looks around

Are you sure Veh. isn't here?

Then how about a drink to Veh's memory?
Then one to each Indian name he gave out.
Then one to his impending return.

And then a couple more to the other leg also - otherwise I can't walk straight
