Ate haggis multiple times when I was stationed in Scotland.

Did you grind their bones to make your bread?

To make porridge, mainly. Though sometimes tortilla-like things.

MEANwhile, back in Russia:

US skater who was "cyber-bullied" over her addition to the US Olympic squad performs well enough to get the US into the final round of the team competition.

I hear that eating lots of haggis will do that for you.

And why would somebody be cyber-bullied for succeeding in making the team?

The gal (Ashley Wagner) was criticized openly on Twitter and Facebook that she shouldn't be on the team, mostly because of her performance in the US Figure skating championships.

And speaking of figure skating - what would an Olympics be without judging controversy? Or was it all made up...

Russian Speedskater has a little... "wardrobe malfunction" after her race that gave her the bronze in the women's 3,000-meter competition.

Hardly a malfunction when someone unzips on purpose. She just (supposedly) forgot about all the cameras for a moment.

Haggis wouldn't be nearly so scary if people knew it was meatloaf with a backstory.

Back story? I thought it was made using the parts that are more in the middle?

As long as it's a meatloaf without a backlash...

I don't see the resemblance.

If you stand the haggis on end, they have the same general shape...

Plenty of silliness to assist in the wakeup process(as I had not enough sleep last night). Thanks.

Will haggis make love by the dashboard lights?

Will haggis make love by the dashboard lights?

Depends on what music is playing on the radio at the time.

Will haggis make love by the dashboard lights?

Depends on what music is playing on the radio at the time.

And on whether it's been properly refrigerated up til then. If not, it may have more life in it than expected.

Just what we all need sentient haggis.

Just what we all need sentient haggis.

And then which Olympic sport could we expect to see haggises competing in? I don't envision them as being all that successful at figure skating, but perhaps something along the lines of luge or the ski jump would work.

[shadowinthelight]

Never having eaten haggis before I must ask how greasy they are. Is it enough to give them an unfair competative advantage on the ice?

[Jabberwonky]

I don't know about competing, but they'd make nice curling stones...

[Atomic]

Maybe as Shot Put in the summer games...
