Oh, goodness, I'm right there with you. The problem is, Martin has never looked so dorky in his life. But some factors must be taken into account for why he seemed so dorky (and old) at the end:
1. He was wearing that prosthetic nose, so he looked sort of Scottish (which contributes to age).
2. He had been wearing that icicle wig for who knows how long, and that had flattened out his hear a great amount. (causing it to look like an older man's hairstyle)
3. Blue seems to make people look younger (no, I'm not making this up) just like black makes some people look skinnier. White is sort of 'blah' and makes you look your own age and weight.
4. Those elfin ears only seem to work with spiked hair, or at least hair that can flow behind the ears...Martin's hair was so flat, it couldn't accomplish a full look.
That's all I can come up with, but I also must say, Martin is getting up there in his years...I wouldn't call him senile, though.

Perhaps. I wasn't necessarily referring to the nose, but I do know that not all Scottish people have the same genetics. As you've said, I've apparently just met the ones that do. I hope you didn't find that offensive, I was just trying to make a general comparison. My heritage delves into Scottish ties, so I suppose that's why I chose such a nationality...even though I know not all Scottish people look exactly like one another.

Not offended in the least! I giggled loudly at the thought of my countrymen wearing false noses it quite brightened up an otherwise boring day, thank you.
