I didn’t like it, so that’s what I’d bring out whenever the husband’s mooching friends came over. They usually wouldn’t stick around after the first pour.
That map @"Kenzo" posted looks to have a whole bunch of terrifying creatures on it. I guess Scotland may not be somewhere I’d want to visit. I’m afraid I’d run into that cu sith and not knowing any better may try to bring it back with me.
Don't do it!
I believe "cu sith" translates into English as "hound of the Sith", so unless "sith" means something else in Scots Gaelic, you'd be stealing Darth Vader's dog, and that would be sure to piss him off!
I may be wrong - I'm basing the translation not on Scots Gaelic, but on Irish Gaelic -- "Cuchullain" --> "Hound of Cullen"; "Cu roi" --> "Hound of the King"; "dobhar cu" --> "water dog".
I released the Kraken into my house because it is 94 proof, and most rum is only around 70 proof.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
