I'm headed home this weekend to take part. Good post!</p>ClaireFri, 26 Jan 2007 11:56:30 -0000http://newcritics.com/blog1/2007/01/25/great-scots/#comment-1372235<p>So, in honor of Burns' night... I'm not eating haggis, but at least I will address one in the traditional way: <br>Fair fa' your honest sonsie face<br>Great chieftan o the puddin'-race!<br>Aboon them a'ye tak your place,<br>Painch, tripe, or thairm: <br>Weel are ye wordy of a grace<br>As lang's my arm.</p><p>All I can say is this... any country where it's manly to wear kilts and recite poetry... it's all right by me.
