Ah, the Address to a Haggis!! I've been waiting for this one. Once again the NorCal Rabble have succeeded in reducing a serious poem to a farce! Well done, y'all.

Brian,

We all know that properly Burns' "Haggis" poem is a deathly serious work that should b e approached with the utmost severity. Sadly the Nor Cal Rabble does not have anyone with the gravitas to properly and somberly give this great work its due. Therefore we stand as an example of what not to do with the poet's magnum opus. Thereby helping others avoid the sad misfortune of thinking that Burns' and his work are in anyway, shape, or form humorous. A good Burns' Night Supper party is of course a serious Burns' Night Supper Party.

We hope that others have benefited from this example.

Cheers

Jamie :ootd:

At least the piping in had gravitas!

Jamie, you say you're supposed to have gravitas with the haggis? I thought that was for the neeps and tatties.

I was told you were supposed to have copious amounts of whisky, which explains a lot. I really do have the Address down cold, and for a modest fee I will come to your Burns' night and prove it. For a more generous fee I will stay away.

Best regards,

Jake

P.S. Much thanks to WalkerK, for his excellent videography.

No, no, no, no no!! Gravitas is not Laland Scots for gravy.

I'm so frustrated with our computer rebuild-I cannot watch the videos in their entirety (and therefore bask in my own self absorption). Given the amount of lovely 18 yr-old Bowmore I consumed that night, I'm glad for a video reminder of how things went.

Thank you for posting all these, Kent!

Be well,
