Haggis rules!
In honour of Burn's night, which as many of you know, is celebrated in Scotland on January 25, and usually involves much haggis, neeps, tatties, whiskey, bagpipes and poetry, I'd like to propose a toast, and wish all the Scots (and everyone else out there) a very merry Burn's Night.<BR><BR>"Fair fa' yer honest sonsie face,<BR>Great chieftain o' the pudden race.<BR>Abune them a' ye tak' yer place -<BR>Painch, tripe or thairm.<BR>Weel are ye worthy o' a grace<BR>As lang 's my airm."

Actually, according to the official website, the Haggis Hunt ends at 3PM (not AM) on the day of Burns' Night. There's still plenty of time to legally bag one in time for supper.<BR><BR>http://haggishunt.com/
