I'm prejudiced about haggis. I don't want to try it; just hearing the description of it is enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well of course if you hear Fyron's totaly inacurate description of it. Oh sure there is a stomach thing in there but you don't eat that part. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It's lovely stuff, really! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

Well obviously you aren't taking the bait, so let me try another way.... what exactly is haggis?

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Crums now you are testing me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif I'd have to look it up to be sure but I think it is sheeps liver, heart (maybe some lung http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ) barley (or oats) various spices stuffed in a stomach sac. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Mmmm now that's good eating.

Edit: Wow after a brief net search I had no idea there were so many haggis recipies. I just get it from the local scottish butcher. (which if my location is a good example occur about once per 1 million city population on this side of the Atlantic)

And if I am not mistaken, it is boiled. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

Fyron, don't you remember the first Highlander movie ?

Sean Connery: "What did you call me ?"
MacLeod: "I called you a haggis."
SC: "What is a haggis ?"
McL: "Sheep's heart, liver and kidneys, with oats, stuffed into a sheep's stomach."
SC: "How revolting! And what do you do with it ?"
McL, exasperated: "WE EAT IT !!!"

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 

A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an airplane. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he wants to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines, turns away and tries to sleep. The Programmer persists and explains that it's a real easy game. He explains,"I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer I'll pay you $5." Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50!" Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5.

Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer,"What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and tries to return to sleep.

The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the question?" Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.

As a programmer (but with some interest in engineering), I represent that remark! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I gotta agree. At least he seems really into it. Many of the comments posted there should not have been made - just because the kid has the guts to make his video available doesn't give you license to poke fun at him. The only thing that was funny was the over-the-top-ness of the remix.

That said, I have no problem with showing the video, which appears to have been intentionally made public, it's just the insulting comments on the page that get to me.
