'If It's Not Scottish, It's Crap!'

Sean Connery's new autobiography, Being a Scot, was released today in the UK. The book finds the first and most famous Bond musing on "many aspects of Scottish culture and life, including sport, architecture, and of course the gothic tendency in Scots literature," while also offering enlightening anecdotes from his 78 years as a Scotsman. No word yet on whether Connery has used any part of Being a Scot to discuss under what circumstances a man can smack his lippy wife. In case he hasn't, we've got a brief video lesson after the jump.

Yeah, Cord, he's sure the most attractive "slap a ho" Bond ever.

Even though he's 78, and an admitted wife beater, I'd still sit on his face anytime he asked me to.

It's amazing how famous people are so easily forgiven by their fans for being total complete dickheads.

rumour has it- I KNOW. What will it take for woman to stop being into him?
Thank god Hitler was ugly.

No. 8 Chelsea says:

Actually, lots of girls thought Hitler was attractive and swooned like he was a moviestar. So, there's that.

No. 9 ilnazhad says:

Yeah, but that was because he was considered a hero by many. Men are also considered dreamy if they are talented or rich or powerful, but ugly. Now his character is a symbol of evil and he's not good-looking.

No. 10 ilnazhad says:

And I was kidding.

No. 11 Chelsea says:

Well, I figured that was a joke and not like, the start of a thesis. But I had to defend my comment. And perhaps I wouldn't mind sitting on his face because he's old, and seems harmless, and I could take his meds away if he tried to hit me. (And he would, I'm a mouthy bitch sometimes) Or maybe I'm just willing to forgive just to hear that accent.

No. 12 ilnazhad says:

Hee hee.
Wait… you were trying to defend you attraction the Connery by stating many girls were into Hitler?
Don't give up on yourself like that, Chelsea.

Oh…shit. Well, I was never very good at debate.

No. 14 queencrone says:

They only showed part of his interview.

He went on to say that it was perfectly acceptable for a wife to hit her husband upside his head with an iron skillet if he griped about the manner in which the wife prepared the meal.

Also, if, after the husband slapped his wife with an open hand, the wife felt it an unjustified slap, she was then free to kick the husband in the balls.

Before any actual physical contact is made, the husband is supposed to give this warning: To the MOON Alice.

These are HIS rules, not mine. Anyway, it's all in the book.

His patriotism knows no bounds, well, except the whole living in the Bahamas for the past few decades to avoid paying taxes.

No. 16 queencrone says:

I used to do this thing to my ex-husbands when they were about to say something stupid in a group setting. I'd pinch the inside of their arm.

It looks like you are in a loving nuzzle, but that really shuts them up if they are about to stick their foot in their mouth.

Like when they are about to say: "We didn't go to your party because we thought it would be boring, and we chose to stay home and have sex instead."

It's not so much abusive as a loving gesture, that gets out some of my agression as well.

No. 19 lava says:

why leave out part of the story? thanks qc for clearing it up. wife beating and co-ed smackdown are two completely different beatdowns.

gonna go burn him some cornbread.

No. 20 queencrone says:

Burn that cornbread, lava. And just DARE him with your eyes to say something.

Sarah, I would be happily married right now if those ex husbands had a brain in their heads!

That mess just wore me out.

I am still good friends with my very favorite ex-husband. He is the father of most of my children.

No. 21 Sarah says:

Oh. Well, I guess I better start having kids. In order to make your cunning plan work, most of them will need to be his.

I better go burn some corn muffins and get this plan in gear…

Will someone please tell me how to stop my computer from asking me if I want the damn plug-ins necessary to see this? I keep saying NO, clicking on the X, and still it's badgering me. I don't WANT or NEED to see this. That drop-down box just keeps turning up like a dirty, shit-out-more-than-once penny.

Oh, how I hate technology. I'm just going to start mimeographing all my responses and telegraphing them to you. That's how they did it, right?

No. 27 Sarah says:

STM, you're my new tech lady now. If I, say, respond "Yes I'll take you're motherfucking plug-ins," will I get a virus? Like, bronchitis, or AIDS?

sarah, you have to get some extensions… i think it's called adblock plus.

you won't be sorry! i never look at ads. between tivo and adblock, i'm ad free. of course if i happen to see an ad for kfc smoked chipotle chicken, don't think i won't rewind, watch the ad, and then immediately go to kfc. i'm like the manchurian chicken candidate.
