Hello. Does anybody recall the title or the rest of this scrap of probably Robert Burns poetry? goes something like: "... nor duke that ye dined with yester'een. A crab louse is still but (or yet) a crab (or louse) tho' perched on the c*** of a (or o' a) queen." I would like to know for a friend who is writing a book on Scottish nationalism. Thanks!

I am called upon, with short notice, to deliver the Address to a Haggis. I know the words, but I want to make it sound as good as possible; can you point me to a pronunciation guide or - better - a credible recording?

extremelyUnpleasantFingerBurnFilter So I made some caramel sauce and accidentally dipped the tip of my right index finger into a still molten fluid. I immediately ran it under cold water and peeled the tasty candy coating off my finger. I have a lot of work to do, like a 20 or so page report to type. I can't type without that finger and my other fingers on the same hand are also in pain. How can I make the oain gi away and protect my lovely new blister enough to be able to type fir the next ten hours or so? [more inside]
