omg, if you're really scottish, i bet a lot of the bad Scot Themey Stuff in highlander would tickle you pink. authors who already have that bad habit of using appositives constantly sometimes carry over to using them in sex scenes, and a lot of them are fond of "the Scot." even in bed. there are probably whole sex scenes written with no names, just the Scot and the old(er) man (well, and the younger man too of course). then once i saw the oldest immortal (with capital letters, even, i think), and i completely lost suspension of disbelief and had to take a long break to chortle to myself.
