But it's still only 5 for the Highlander (me, Keira, Gillian, Lady Tink, you). All those other ladies want the pirate (or both, I believe, LOL). And it really is hard to choose, isn't it? I'd be tempted to make my next hero a pirate, but I get seasick and don't know a damn thing about rigging. RevM, a compelling argument for the Scot, particularly the whiskey and books part.

Doesn't he help the poor?)<br/><br/>So I'm thinking the Scot. First of all, he probably has an actual (even if freezing cold) dwelling place filled with alcohol and books (and maybe he's even read some books and been to St. Andrews for a bit of schooling and we could talk between fits of passion). I'm thinking wool blankets and big fireplaces and whiskey and shortbread. . .<br/><br/>Also just imagine that accent in your ear in the morning, or on the phone. . .sigh.<br/><br/>What would you get with a pirate? Storms and gunpowder and salted fish and hardtack and bunk beds and no privacy and lots of onlookers with bad teeth.<br/><br/>Yup. It's the Scot for me!

I can't get past the wigs and funky shoes either. Just doesn't fit in my brain. I believe I can deal with a kilt but I’m with Irish on the Georgian period clothing.
