Scott MacKillop
Scott MacKillop is a freelance writer, publicist, broadcast producer and author of the blog Pro Human Writes.
Scott believes that sarcasm is the highest and most effective form of humour, despite what he is constantly told by friends, family and his long-suffering girlfriend.
A strong proponent of civil liberties, Scott considers himself somewhat of a social commentator, which is often a source of amusement for professional social commentators.
His tendency to throw tact to the wind and run, foaming at the mouth, toward any opportunity to be politically incorrect has earned him the nickname ‘Scott the Inappropriate’ from those who know him, and from the many who wish they didn’t.

My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics

Led Zeppelin are responsible for my all-time favourite mixed metaphor: "There you sit, sit and stare, like a book on a shelf rusting." (Misty Mountain Hop) I laugh every time I hear it. Hmmm, I believe I've decided what to play on the way to work today. [read more]Gentle jabs to the ribs
