I think everyone in the online gaming world knows that I am Scottish. My last name indicates that my father’s family comes from Ayrshire in southern Scotland.
I must come from good stock as Ayrshire is also where the family of the famous Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace was born. I am a massive William Wallace fan and Mel Gibson’s line in the movie Braveheart (“Every man dies, but not every man really lives“) is a good translation of the Thai Buddhist metaphor I have tattooed on my arm. Ayrshire is also where Hendricks Gin is distilled, I might add, as well as a few brands of excellent local Scotch whisky! Incidentally, I am also Scottish on my mother’s side, and that could account for my pasty white ass.
I am therefore very proud of all the different tartans associated with my family names, however, years ago I thought Bodog.com needed its own tartan, so I created one that is now owned by BodogBrand.com. As is often the case, I was a trendsetter here, as I was the first person to create a tartan for a web site and register it with the Register of Tartans in Scotland. Thinking this one was good, but not good enough for formal situations, I have now created a new BodogBrand.com-owned tartan that is registered to the Bodog brand. In order to be a tartan it must have more than one color, so I designed this one with a very faint dark red line, such that it will look like an all black kilt when viewed in low light. I am now in the process of designing non-traditional tops to go with this and eventually I will get my own Bodog Kilt line out for my personal use. I am getting two of these made up as we speak, so don’t be surprised to see me sporting one at an upcoming event. I actually wore the original Bodog.com design when I filmed my appearance on MTV Cribs.
