Insiders earn respect.  Specialists lose too to save our sorry asses if all goes as according to “plan”.

For me, it might be easier to start praying than fasting; will you join me in a prayer for peace in Kiev?  We are ready and watch…watch.

The “Sparring Show” could vary with pie or egg throwing episode, sound proof contestants, water gun/spitting, but main element of show is inventive word exchanges or initiations and responses, like ping-pong war and diplomacy.

Thought of new show, like #JerrySpringer but the show is about trading insults instead of punches in a gladiator’s ring.  People don’t have to know each other.  Could have variant of a sound-proof room or penalty suspension where one party cannot hear the other.  {In the spirit of #GilbertGottfriedhumor or #DonRickleshumor}.

William “Billy” Marshall (reputedly born in Ayrshire around 1672 and lasting until 1792) was of gypsy (tinker) stock, who became famous as a boxer- -and a bandit. He became “king” of the tinkers in Galloway and proceeded to terrorize much of the countryside. His legendary exploits also include deserting from the army no less than seven times and from the navy three times. He is reputed to have married on 17 occasions, had countless children (both in and out of wedlock) and fathered at least four children after the age of 100. His gravestone stands in the cemetery of St Cuthbert’s in Kircudbright.

William Marshall, who was born in Fochabers (now in Morayshire) in 1748, was a real “Jock of All Trades”. He was a butler to the Duke of Gordon for more than forty years but was also estate factor, surveyor, architect, justice of the peace – and a clock maker and astronomer. In addition to all that, he was a famous fiddler and composer for that instrument. He introduced a number of innovations in fiddle music. His best known composition is a setting of the Robert Burns piece “Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw”.

Keith is regarded as a sept (sub-branch) of the Marshall clan.
