Perhaps he will oppose to your Rosalinda question as well..

"Oh, Rosalinda of my dreams!
To you a book I write:

Ok, I'm generous; you can finish the poem if you like! :smile:

In the late 16th century, Haggises were hunted to extinction by the MacAllister clan of Fort William. Several attempts were subsequently made to reintroduce Haggis populations back to the Scotch Highlands, but none were successful.

In the end (the early 1900s), the McGregor clan decided it would be much more sensible to farm domesticated Haggises for food. They selectively bred the kind we know today, the Scotch Haggis, to have its left two legs longer than the right two legs, so that they could run around the sides of mountains, but never go up or down them. This was to ensure that they didn't escape without the need for fences or dry-stone walls, thus preserving the beauty of the Highlands.
There is also the National Haggi preserve South of Pitlochry in Perthshire (Slightly Northeast of Dundee). Where the majestic animals can still roam free. The land was designated a site for the preservation of wild haggis and is the only remaining area where haggis sows birth their lop sided (two leggs longer two shorter) shoats in the wild. You have to watchout for the male Haggihog they have quite dangerous horns. Also, during the mating season the nearsited Haggihog can be extremely hazardous animal to around in shortpants.

19. Why do people spell spelled spelt?
 
  • #50
'Cause it is spelt spelt?

Garmonsway accepts both forms; perhaps Rosalinda told him to?

This is a strange one, the real lock ness monster has been identifed several
times by experts, but scientists refute all evidence out of hand, several
pictures of the Firfirslegiganticus exist, the last known living specimin was
captured in a fishing net in norway in 1843.

wolram said:
Rose, are you being smutty in french?
No, it means something like, "The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of." It's from Pascal's Pensées. :smile:

And, fittingly enough, it was one of the common foreign sayings in the back of my old dictionary.

Oh, is that what it meant?

I thought I had made a good start with the translation:
"The cur's ass raisins.." but then I got stuck on the "que" word.
Seems I'm not very good in french after all.. :frown:

Sure, meaning the quality of being a soft, yeasty, crusty penis.

The Family Ness!

I forgot about that! My favourite was Eyewit-Ness. Not only was his name a terrible pun, he was also a pirate!
