But haggises don't eat ranch dressing, so it's silly to use it as a lure. Unless Georgia haggises are different from Scottish ones, that is. :)

OH an Ranch dressing on pizza is actually something that someone made once for a party..........but it didn't have PIZZA stuff on it........more like cheese, cauliflower......tomatoes.........some yummy stuff.......it was GREAT!
I like eating ranch dressing on lettuce with scrambled eggs on top. I'll have to try the ranch on pizza, sounds yummy.

>what are haggis?
A Brief Note upon The Haggis, by an Englishman.
The haggis is a once wild animal common in the northern parts of Great Britain and surrounding islands. If you picture an ostrich, and then imagine its exact opposite, you won't be far wrong, as the haggis is as near to the direct antithesis of this bizarre bird in the Grand Scheme of Things [tm] as it is possible to get, on dry land anyway. Well, on not overly wet land, since it thrives in peat bogs, whence it lures unwary travellers with tales of duty-free single malt whisky and dirty videos (it's paws can't keep from dropping them into the mud!).
It is frequently farmed for its pelt, which is much in demand for firelighters, and is invariably discarded as useless as farmed animals always die of alopecia. (It is apparently against some ancient Scottish law to actually *kill* a haggis (despite the custom of The Hunting the Cutty Haggis still practised each Haggmanay in some wilder parts of the University of Saint Andrews). Apparently, the fact that one acted as caddie for Andie when he won the title deeds to the course which now bears his name has some bearing on this strange law.)
It was once a common species (the commonest phrase for fecundity throughout northern Britain was once, "to breed like haggis") but it became a protected species between the wars (the 'fifteen and the 'forty-five), and is therefore now extinct, except for hunting purposes, when its fate would be to be tickled to within two and a half centimetres of its life if one were ever caught.
(There was a major outcry when this metrication was introduced; it used to be an inch, of course, and the anti-hunting lobby were up in arms about the reduction of 0.04mm and its likely effect on the non-existent haggis population, especially that on Rockall, where, due to the local race being particularly thin-skinned when it existed, it was considered to be especially at risk of a second going, as it were.)
As a final note, the flavour of haggis meat is exquisite, as can be imagined from the fact that sheep and pig offal mixed with seasoned oatmeal is stuffed into an animal's stomach and then boiled to approximate the effect, the actual haggis being totally inedible.
-----
I do hope someone is keeping track of all the asd haggis threads. If my memory is working at all, which does occasionally seem to be the case, the haggis must be a truly fearsome beast. Or is that "wonderful beast"?

Now, Melissa, don't buy into the Georgia-as-hick hype. Remember that we've always been a thriving state as far as exporting our many goods--and, of course, with that money, we have traditionally enjoyed importing items that will undercut the rest of the country's idea that we're uncultured crackers. It's not *our* fault that one of the shipments from over there contained a crate of these critters....
cp, still wondering how he managed to lose a can of haggis in the last move.

I won't begrudge you your smokes. But y'know, if there's something I will never understand, it's how you draw any pleasure out of that weird, paint-peeling feel that menthols give your throat and lungs.
I figure, I'll just pop a certs and smoke at the same time, if I want the flavor.

You know, I did this all the time when I lived alone. But now I use the top of one of those danish butter cookie tins. Three *real* ashtrays still packed in a box somewhere, and I don't think I've used any of 'em.

Yeah, but whilst playing with the newsreader, I accidentally marked everything read--slip of the mouse. :( Now I don't know what's been said on any of the other threads we've been monopolizing. :(

Winstons. Gah.
I remember--cigarettes always make me remember convenience store stories, so, y'know, avoid the subject if you don't want to hear them--when Winston Selects first came out. These were gonna be a big deal, and we were to push 'em into the spotlight, nevermind that all our customers were college students looking for marlboro or camel lights. So, to encourage sales, the company rep gives us a free carton (or at least a coupon for a carton--I don't think they were supposed to outright *give* us smokies), so we can all try them, talk them up to customers.
The Valiant Manager, brave and strong, goes first. I tear open the pack, slide one between my lips, and light up. I smoked it for all of ten seconds. Oh, there was word of mouth advertising, all right--"Really, here, buy Marlboros instead. Really."
When I left the job a few months later, the carton was still sitting under the counter, unsmoked.

lol...nothing will make you feel more youthful and silly than sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night to steal things out of a parent's vehicle. I even looked down the road to make sure no one was driving this way before I opened the door. :)

Preach on, sister. I'd be having a lot more fun in life if I could do my living when people are awake, instead of hiding throughout the day and only coming out at night.

Well, I for one am finding this one vastly amusing! I often just skip these type threads, but as another smoker (non-menthol, thank you very much), this one has me giggling away.
