I'm prejudiced about haggis. I don't want to try it; just hearing the description of it is enough.

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.

It's lovely stuff, really!

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

Crums now you are testing me.

I'd have to look it up to be sure but I think it is sheeps liver, heart (maybe some lung

) barley (or oats) various spices stuffed in a stomach sac.

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.

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 !!!"

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!

One of the comments on the site:
You know . . . he's better at this than most of the so-called "Jedi" in that battle at the end of Ep.2. Remember them? The ones who looked like someone handed them a broomstick and told them to wave it around dramatically, oh, and try not to drop it on their foot this time? They should seriously have this kid give 'em some lessons--the spirit is willing, even if the body is not. Props to you, kid! ^_^

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.
