pensnestWe had haggis for lunch today. Not, in fact, in honour of Burns Night, which we ignored, but because I was late getting to the butcher on Saturday and when I got there, well, there haggis was.
So, I poll:
I discovered, incidentally, that haggis apparently cannot be imported into the USA. Because of the sheeps' lungs. But I'd have expected there to be plenty of Americans of Scottish descent who revel in Burns Night stuff and require haggis. Perhaps they can obtain inauthentic locally-made products.

Just found (via metafilter) this *delightful* thread by someone watching The Princess Bride for the first time.

I listened to a Tom and Lorenzo podcast not so long ago in which either Tom or Lorenzo suggests that while Prince William is turning into Charles, Prince Harry is turning into Diana. It seems a perfect summary of where those two are. Actually the opinions of T or Lo on the whole business made a lot of sense to me.
So, I poll:
