I'm surprised nobody's suggested either (the legendary) Duncan MacYoYo or (our very own) Modman MacManiac! grin

Not true!

The MacYoYos are an ancient clan (which was founded by Duncan MacYoYo), legendary for having defeated all of their enemies without ever having resorted to either weapons or bloodshed...

The first rank of MacYoYo troops mesmerized their foes with YoYo tricks;

the second rank took advantage of their foes' debilitated mental state by rousing them out of it with the terrifying skirl of the pipes, sending them into an abrupt, disorderly retreat;

and those who didn't turn-tail and run were beaten into submission by the third rank which violently assaulted them with driven golf balls. (The stragglers, all of whom were, presumably, blind and deaf, could neither see the golf balls coming nor hear the MacYoYos shouting "Fore!" and were, so-to-speak, cannon-fodder.)

The MacYoYos have kept a low profile in recent years, the only internationally known member of the clan being world-famous cellist YoYo Ma(c), who modified his name to a less type-casting, more suggestive of a player of a refined musical instrument, one after one gushing fan too many insisted on being regaled with "a tune on the pipes, please." He has, needless to say, been both castigated by the Clan's elders and forbidden to ever again wear the famous MacYoYo tartan (with its distinctive alternating plaid YoYos and golf balls).

Modman MacManiac, on the other hand, is not necessarily, but may very well be, of Scottish extraction.

Yo-Yo Ma was born in Paris to Chinese parents and had a musical upbringing. His mother, Marina Lu, was a singer, and his father, Hiao-Tsiun Ma, was a professor of music. His family moved to New York when he was four years old.

He is now officially a Chinese-American.

Wikipedia has been known to be less than authoritative; for important research, such as this, I rely on "Peabody's."

Have you researched your Tartan to ensure that you're not stepping on somebody's something or other?

From Peabody's:

Quote:
The 91 four-and-a-half-minute episodes always ended with atrocious puns.

And if you think coming up with a punch-line for that joke is easy (I've been working on it for 3 days, now.) you've got another guess coming.
