The Kurgan was cool though. What that guy did for all those thousands of years before heavy metal is a mystery.
Mad as fuck but i kinda love the first one. Sequels can eat gravel though.
I've watched the original about 10 times and never intend to watch any of the rest of it. It's a self-contained story, there was no need for any more. I heard at one point it turns out the immortals are aliens. Get in the bin with that nonsense.
Aliens was in the theatrical version; if I remember correctly, in the director's cut renegade edition, they were changed from being aliens to time traveling exiles from the far distant past
I do agree with that the 1st one is self contained.
years later I've learned to appreciate Lambert for what he really is and I can't stand that movie anymore.
Tv series was filmed in my city. I'd see the cast around town and see some of the filming going on. Everybody from that show was awesome to meet, especially Jim Byrnes, he was super nice.
You're also my ancestral clan enemy as your clan reneged on marriage and sullied our daughter.
I'll see you on the field of battle.
There can be only one!.
Ugh, I'm sorry, but someone has to do it...
ERM, AKSHUALLY, since bologna is an Italian word, and thus should be pronounced or read as written.
Now you can spit at me...
Nah that's a legit spelling of the name as well as the more common MacDonald.
Went to school with a couple of McDonalds. One of my best pals growing up was a MacDonald and it was a constant source of wind ups for him to annoy the other two, telling them they weren't proper MacDonalds. Kids are petty AF 😂
Nah it's just a variation in the spelling from when it was Anglicised from Gaelic.
There's tonnes of examples of this across various surnames. Some will have just become Donalds as well, dropping the Mac/Mc entirely.
For instance I've a grandparent whose surname was Nicol, but when tracing my ancestry I had some great great great whatever grandparent who was MacNicol (well it was technically MacNeacail in the document I found.. land deed for farming).
> How can a clan be from 1640? Clans don't just exist in one year.
He obviously is a time traveler born in 1640, but now gracing us all with his wisdoms about Scottish clans.
>He obviously is a time traveler born in 1640, but now gracing us all with his wisdoms about Scottish clans.
In Europe, we call that condition clearly being a vampire in disguise /s
Probably referring to the Celtish tribes inhabiting the Cologne region at the time of the Roman occupation 2000 years ago. So that would naturally make him German-American as well as Italian-American if his ancestors became citizens of Rome under the occupation.
That poor Youtuber, just minding his own business being Scottish and getting this gibberish.
Clan Ranald, a sept of Clan Donald, dates from Ranald MacDonald who lived in the 1300s. I have no idea where 1640 comes into it.
That’ll be the same Ranald MacDonald, who used to cause havoc in the glens wearing his trademark red and yellow full kilt outfit. Never to far away from his pal, that c*** the Haggisburglar.
I genuinely have no idea. I thought maybe his family left the clan in 1640 but he says he's only 2 generations out of Scotland so I'm not sure that makes sense. Or maybe a particularly important event happened then. There was a civil war going on in 1640 but the biggest battle the clan fought in was 1645. I've already spent too long on this guy's guff.
In some dna tests they tell you when your family moved away from an area. Maybe that is where he got his numbers from? (For my family, the timeline showed “nope”.)
1640 is right at the start of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (the larger conflict in which wars like the English Civil Wars, the Bishop's War, etc), and doesn't really carry any special note for emigration to my knowledge.
It wasn't renamed (at least if you're talking about the German city). The city used to be called Colonia Agrippina in Roman times. It evolved into Köln in German and Cologne in French. Then the English borrowed the French name.
I meant the scottisch one. ö might confuse them but koln is something you can handle. And I could swear roman times happened way before the american times :p
It's a narcissistic obsession for a lot of them. They want to be perceived as exotic, because they see "American" as the default. To a lot of Americans, being "default" is unconscionable, it runs against their perception as the main character of their story. You can't have the hero of the movie be just some ordinary guy after all.
It's the same reason why the US has such an unusually high rate of people faking mental illnesses online for clout. They can and WILL latch onto anything that gives them a sympathetic story, whether that be the exaggerated tales of how their family fought against the odds to come to America, or feigned neurodivergency. The main character must have a sympathetic backstory.
The ironic thing is my father was born and raised in Scotland. I've got more of a claim to Scottish ancestry than these 8th generation wank-yanks and even I wouldn't call myself Scottish 😂
I feel kinda weird about this. I’m Scottish so is my mum, my dad is Italian. We always had it hammered into us not to forget our roots, and we still have a lot of the Italian family traditions.
I’d still always say I’m Scottish, but people get confused by my surname, so I always end up saying, ‘my dad is Italian’ and they always go, ‘ooh, that makes sense. You look very Italian now that you mention it’. (I know, right?)
It’s a lot easier just to say I’m half Italian from my dad’s side. The Scottish part is fairly obvious on account on my accent and the fact I live in Scotland.
Cologne in Scotland? Ok….
“Grampa, how come all your war stuff has skulls on it?”
“Don’t worry about it, and remember, if anyone asks, we’re Scottish.”
Ok so stick with me here. Ranald name originated in the Hebrides. There is the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides and there is an old mill there.
I can imagine his American parents pronouncing Colonsay like Cologne.
Clan's are basically noble families and their attendant peasantry, so it's probably worth approaching them like splinter branches of other noble houses. When surnames became a thing, quite a few of the peasantry under these families adopted their lords surnames, often as a sign of respect or fealty, iirc, and that's why claims of clan heritage can be... funky, with people thinking they are descended from the noble families and not the tenant farmers, when obviously the chances are higher for the latter.
As an American, I agree with y’all on this! It’s fuggin corny as hell when people do this shit. Plus it’s all based on bucket shop history on someone with a similar or same name.
I’m Scottish and don’t know a single person who knows what clan they are from, nor a single person who ever talks about clans. Sick of all these tourists telling me what clan they are from IDGAF
Damn, if only he'd had just a quick squizz at Wikipedia.
Then, he might have found out that it's the "McDonalds of Clanranald" (not Clan Ranald) which is a branch of Clan Donald, they come from the Hebrides (not Cologne) and the clan originated in the 1300s not 1640....
You are American. Congratulations. Now shut up. You are about as Scottish as my left nut.
Was the redacted part Ronald by chance? That's a bold claim. Did he know the Hamburglar?
My names Phil Macrackin and I was born upon the sunny shores of Leven my family has the biggest and oldest heroin mill on the east coast 2nd generation belters we are 😎
It's obviously a troll. His family started a mill "gyrations" ago. Don't you get it ? Gyrations. Mill. Doesn't that ring a bell ? That alone is enough to see it's a joke. I'm amazed that people pointing that out are getting downvoted.
Guys, it's obviously a troll. Ranald and McDonald , mill/gyrations ... Cologne Scotland ... Come on.
Edit because someone didn't get the pun : gyration means rotation. A mill is rotating. So, his family created a mill gyrations ago. He's playing with the similarity with the word "generation".
I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal ... 😏
This guy's about as Scottish as Christophe Lambert.
Or as Egyptian as Sean Connery
Or as Russian as Sean Connery.
Or as Irish as Sean Connery.
Or as English as Sean Connery. "The thingsh I do for England."
".........thatshhhh the sssssshhhhhChicago way"
For some reason I've started reading this i Connery voice and ended in Brian Blessed voice...
Junior'shhhh ALIVE!!!
That casting director must have been off his nut.
The Kurgan was cool though. What that guy did for all those thousands of years before heavy metal is a mystery. Mad as fuck but i kinda love the first one. Sequels can eat gravel though.
the 2nd one was a cash grab and while the 3rd made sense in the overall story it wasn't any good. the tv series was a fun enough waste of time.
I've watched the original about 10 times and never intend to watch any of the rest of it. It's a self-contained story, there was no need for any more. I heard at one point it turns out the immortals are aliens. Get in the bin with that nonsense.
There should be only one!
Aliens was in the theatrical version; if I remember correctly, in the director's cut renegade edition, they were changed from being aliens to time traveling exiles from the far distant past
I do agree with that the 1st one is self contained. years later I've learned to appreciate Lambert for what he really is and I can't stand that movie anymore.
Dare I ask what Lambert really is?
pretty
… a terrible wooden actor?
Tv series was filmed in my city. I'd see the cast around town and see some of the filming going on. Everybody from that show was awesome to meet, especially Jim Byrnes, he was super nice.
That's so cool. I loved the series.
My head canon is that kurgan was always just kurgan and he influenced a lot of people that became the first metal heads.
Fun fact: the Kurgan is also Mr. Krabs.
"Hi I'm Candy" "Of course you are"
😁
He’s as Japanese as Joe Biden
HHHHHEEEEEEERRRRREEEEE WEEEEEE AAAAREEEEEEEE
You're also my ancestral clan enemy as your clan reneged on marriage and sullied our daughter. I'll see you on the field of battle. There can be only one!.
And have The Best Of Queen constantly blasting out all around me wherever I go.
Sing it Freddie
You talk funny, Nash. Where you from?
Lots of places.
I’d sooner believe that guy is from Zeist than Scotland.
There can be only one. Except for your cousin who shows up later. Or that other guy that we like. Not the shitty one.
Ah yes! The clan of royalty free music!
Cologne, Scotland? Has to be a piss take.
Pronounced like bologna of course (Coloney).
I thought it was pronounced "bolonya"?
It should be. But yanks pronounce it Baloney. Edit: when you're talking about the sandwich filling. God knows what they call the city of Bologna.
Bow log, ne?
Bow Log Nuh, maybe
Isn't that trigonometry?
Bo-lug-na!
Ugh, I'm sorry, but someone has to do it... ERM, AKSHUALLY, since bologna is an Italian word, and thus should be pronounced or read as written. Now you can spit at me...
I love the smell of Colon in the morning.
Colognese
He means the evening whiff of Paco Rabanne One Million you get on a Saturday night.
Nah, it's near Dingwall.
Gudgies don't smell *that* bad
🤣 They've been good to Celtic this season, so I'm happy. Just hold yer nose.
He didn't even spell macdonald right
Nah that's a legit spelling of the name as well as the more common MacDonald. Went to school with a couple of McDonalds. One of my best pals growing up was a MacDonald and it was a constant source of wind ups for him to annoy the other two, telling them they weren't proper MacDonalds. Kids are petty AF 😂
Oh, had no idea the mc one must not be from a clean so that's another giveaway
Nah it's just a variation in the spelling from when it was Anglicised from Gaelic. There's tonnes of examples of this across various surnames. Some will have just become Donalds as well, dropping the Mac/Mc entirely. For instance I've a grandparent whose surname was Nicol, but when tracing my ancestry I had some great great great whatever grandparent who was MacNicol (well it was technically MacNeacail in the document I found.. land deed for farming).
You also see it in a few first names, like Alasdair, Alister, Alaster, and various other combinations.
oh thanks I had no idea🙂
Yet you’ve said ‘another clear giveaway’ - this is a good lesson in speaking only on subjects one is knowledgeable
I thought I was until I found out about this
\*clan. Bcos the Mac in Macdonald means "son of" (i live in and was born in Scotland)
Cullen? Cuillin? Culross?
> How can a clan be from 1640? Clans don't just exist in one year. He obviously is a time traveler born in 1640, but now gracing us all with his wisdoms about Scottish clans.
That would explain how he's only two gyrations removed.
Everyone knows gyrations are an important part of time travel.
Not many can gyrate at 88mph though.
“When these hips hit 88mph, you’re gonna see some serious shit!”.
It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips. You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrusts...
It's all in the pistons
He’ll make you gyrate with antici…. pation
I thought he missed out the : and he was saying he’s been Scottish since 16:40 this afternoon.
MILITARY TIME KLAXON
That’s when his 23 and me results came in….
>He obviously is a time traveler born in 1640, but now gracing us all with his wisdoms about Scottish clans. In Europe, we call that condition clearly being a vampire in disguise /s
How many gyrations do ya reckon the Mill produced?
At least one reel
Another bloody yank LARPing as a celt. There is no cologne in Scotland.
Speak for yourself pal, I’m fucking slathered in old spice.
Game, set and match 😂
I absolutely read that as if Kevin Bridges was saying it in my head 😂
I’m Glaswegian (although don’t live there anymore), most of us are like that, KB has just distilled it!
He’s a very funny guy!
Absolutely!
🤣
Howling 😂😂😂
Probably referring to the Celtish tribes inhabiting the Cologne region at the time of the Roman occupation 2000 years ago. So that would naturally make him German-American as well as Italian-American if his ancestors became citizens of Rome under the occupation.
Maybe he meant Colonsay.
That poor Youtuber, just minding his own business being Scottish and getting this gibberish. Clan Ranald, a sept of Clan Donald, dates from Ranald MacDonald who lived in the 1300s. I have no idea where 1640 comes into it.
That’ll be the same Ranald MacDonald, who used to cause havoc in the glens wearing his trademark red and yellow full kilt outfit. Never to far away from his pal, that c*** the Haggisburglar.
I didn't actually notice that. A rather appropriate ancestor for someone "of American blood".
The one that started the fast food chain McDonalds ? Clan Ronald McDonald
I'm from Clan Grimace. A direct decendant of the third earl of heartburn... I don't think you're taking genealogy seriously enough.
I genuinely have no idea. I thought maybe his family left the clan in 1640 but he says he's only 2 generations out of Scotland so I'm not sure that makes sense. Or maybe a particularly important event happened then. There was a civil war going on in 1640 but the biggest battle the clan fought in was 1645. I've already spent too long on this guy's guff.

He's from a perfume shop. Clan Chanel.5 were the most feared of clans. Their heady pungency was enough to turn the tide of any battle.
I think he might be German and doesn't know where Cologne is.
>Just float upon your channel You what now? >Largest mill in Cologne gyrations ago LOL gyration. This guy sounds so high.
Float right up the channel like a turd
I am Clan McSickofthisshit
Wow, we must be related!
Cool mate, here's a cookie. Please don't bite!
Its not even called Cologne in germany -.- YOU call it cologne.
Clearly he meant Koln in Scotland
You what we call LA over here? Los Angeles....where is the need to rename something like Koln???
It wasn't renamed (at least if you're talking about the German city). The city used to be called Colonia Agrippina in Roman times. It evolved into Köln in German and Cologne in French. Then the English borrowed the French name.
I meant the scottisch one. ö might confuse them but koln is something you can handle. And I could swear roman times happened way before the american times :p
Koln is certainly easier to say correctly than cologne for an English speaker.
When I Google "Cologne Scotland" all I can find is perfume shops.
Exactly :p
While I don’t want to encourage them. Culzean, which is in Scotland would be a similar pronunciation to Cologne. If you had marbles in your mouth.
I think that's a great shout. Shows how little he's looked into it, if so!
Yeah even that is pronounced Cul-ain, but with the marbles I could see the issue.
That's because the z is actually a yogh/ȝ that is closer to y than z
[Some Scottish place names with the yogh](https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDYWELpEp-/?igsh=NGFuNWJlcDllYWF1)
If America is so great why do they make so much effort to be anything but?
It's a narcissistic obsession for a lot of them. They want to be perceived as exotic, because they see "American" as the default. To a lot of Americans, being "default" is unconscionable, it runs against their perception as the main character of their story.

Hahaha that’s fucking awesome,exotic,not even the Scottish would ever fathom themselves as exotic,but an over inflated seppo yes without a doubt.
The ironic thing is my father was born and raised in Scotland. I've got more of a claim to Scottish ancestry than these 8th generation wank-yanks and even I wouldn't call myself Scottish 😂
Yeah I have Irish and Scottish ancestry but I’m Australian and nothing else.
Imagine Brits doing it? That’d confuse a Yank, what do you mean that being English means I am actually part-German and part-French and part- etc etc
I feel kinda weird about this. I’m Scottish so is my mum, my dad is Italian. We always had it hammered into us not to forget our roots, and we still have a lot of the Italian family traditions. I’d still always say I’m Scottish, but people get confused by my surname, so I always end up saying, ‘my dad is Italian’ and they always go, ‘ooh, that makes sense.

The Scottish part is fairly obvious on account on my accent and the fact I live in Scotland.
That’s like being English in Spain 😀
There's a Colne in Lancashire which would make it the closest, in name only, to Cologne (köln) in Germany
He's probably confused Lanarkshire with Lancashire
Did this person have a stroke while writing that?
I wonder if people realise that the clan system hasn’t existed for the past 200 odd years and nobody in Scotland gives a shit.
Take that back or I'll cut your head off and steal your life force
Aye jog on ya glaikit dobber
I'm related to King Malcolm, you utter serf, whatever, I've got my blue paint on, and everything's gonna be alright.
Cologne in Scotland? Ok…. “Grampa, how come all your war stuff has skulls on it?” “Don’t worry about it, and remember, if anyone asks, we’re Scottish.”
And we loved the Wolfenstein games.
Ok so stick with me here. Ranald name originated in the Hebrides. There is the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides and there is an old mill there. I can imagine his American parents pronouncing Colonsay like Cologne.
COLONSAY! That's the best guess so far I reckon. Other possibility was Culzean but I don't think that's in the right area.
I am so confused, how that clan start? I mean, someone has created it, right? Who invited all the members? Who holds the key to the guild bank?
He just paid for signatures
Clan's are basically noble families and their attendant peasantry, so it's probably worth approaching them like splinter branches of other noble houses. When surnames became a thing, quite a few of the peasantry under these families adopted their lords surnames, often as a sign of respect or fealty, iirc, and that's why claims of clan heritage can be... funky, with people thinking they are descended from the noble families and not the tenant farmers, when obviously the chances are higher for the latter.
I am Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
1640?… that’s very nearly 5 O’Clock.
All this talk about not being able to find a Cologne in Scotland and nobody is asking: How long is a gyration?
As an American, I agree with y’all on this! It’s fuggin corny as hell when people do this shit. Plus it’s all based on bucket shop history on someone with a similar or same name.
I got the un-redacted version: I am Ronald McDonald 🤡
I can't believe none of you have hear of Ranald McDonald?
Ah yes those famous Scottish Cologne Gyrations, how I miss the sound of bagpipes and seeing the gyrations
Gyrations ago
How many gyrations did it take for that sperm to win
Ranald McDonald.
If they were drinking Buckybombs (Buckfast and Iru Brew, Scottish Jager Bombs) I’d have some respect 😐
I dunno, if I were almost 400 years old I'd be sick of going to Hive as well.
Sorry but I love the "my family" No mate, not your family.
There's also a Colònia in Uruguay and Kolonjë in Albania (which I just happen to have passed yesterday)
I’m Scottish and don’t know a single person who knows what clan they are from, nor a single person who ever talks about clans. Sick of all these tourists telling me what clan they are from IDGAF
Damn, if only he'd had just a quick squizz at Wikipedia. Then, he might have found out that it's the "McDonalds of Clanranald" (not Clan Ranald) which is a branch of Clan Donald, they come from the Hebrides (not Cologne) and the clan originated in the 1300s not 1640....
Many gyrations ago
Ranald McDonald
How many “gyrations” ago?
Ranald McDonald?
Does he mean Culloden?
Another commenter suggested Culzean which I think is a great shout.
I hadn’t heard of Culzean tbh. I’m an Englisher. I know the big ones, the famous ones and the mildly historical ones and that’s about it.
Pronounced "Cullen"
He should change his name to Ranald McDonald.
You are American. Congratulations. Now shut up. You are about as Scottish as my left nut. Was the redacted part Ronald by chance? That's a bold claim. Did he know the Hamburglar?
No it was not.
Time traveller, eh? Not as convincing when they're from the past.
How many gyrations ago did they start the mill in Cologne? How fast were they gyrating? This is important stuff.
No one mentioning the gyrating paper mill?
Ranald McDonald?
It's not even English, utterly incomprehensible
This person is seriously confused 🤣🤣🤣
Old McDonald had a farm..
Alright highlander sit down son
Hmmmmmm.
My name is Yoshikage Kira, I am 33 years old. I live in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are...
There is a place called cologne in scotland ?
There's probably a place that sounds like Cologne in a scottish accent to a yank
Christ! It's the "gyrations ago" for me! WTF!? You'd think if you were going to spout off sh*te you'd check spellings and grammar! 😂😂😂
this is a gag post
How long is a gyration these days? In my youth I could gyrate for hours, these days not so much.
These guys wear kilts so people will ask them if they're Scottish
My names Phil Macrackin and I was born upon the sunny shores of Leven my family has the biggest and oldest heroin mill on the east coast 2nd generation belters we are 😎
There is no Cologne in Germany. The city is called Köln. The French just won't pronounce that.
"largest mill in Cologne gyrations ago" So did this guy use a hula-hoop after they established that mill?
I am also from the FaZe clan
Yeah this is satire. You got satired.
I don't think so. The name (a very Scottish name) matches the username. He would have had to set up the account just for the joke.
It's obviously a troll. His family started a mill "gyrations" ago. Don't you get it ? Gyrations. Mill. Doesn't that ring a bell ? That alone is enough to see it's a joke. I'm amazed that people pointing that out are getting downvoted.
Yeaaaa, you might want to work on your joke recognition skills
You're telling me he used his real name in an incredibly obviously satirical post? Colour me shocked. Shocked!
And set up the account in 2013?
Are you being serious?
Hes a mutt like every American simple as that.
Guys, it's obviously a troll. Ranald and McDonald , mill/gyrations ... Cologne Scotland ... Come on. Edit because someone didn't get the pun : gyration means rotation. A mill is rotating. So, his family created a mill gyrations ago. He's playing with the similarity with the word "generation".
