JANUARY 28 IS BURN'S NIGHT.
Celebrate the "People's poet"
Read a poem in his honor (Librivox has some here in audio form)
here's an example of his heart warming poetry:
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the pudding-race!
Aboon them a' yet tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o'a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin was help to mend a mill
In time o'need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead...
well, you get the idea:
The clueless are told you have to hunt the haggis before eating it, but it's actually a sausage made from awful offal.
and if you have trouble making it from scratch, just buy a box of Haggis Helper.
