Happy Bobby Burns Day!

Be sure to have a wee dram and read a Robert Burns poem tonight!

Here’s one of my favorites:

When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown,
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather -
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu’ sprush!
We’ll over the border and gie them a brush:
There’s somebody there we’ll teach better behavior -
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

    AGAIN with the copycat blog! Need I point to our Crime Bus entries?

  2. SLS Says:

    OK. So this one was my bad, but before…

    Heh. We need to do a better job of coordinating our posts via the Editorial Board.

    All I’ve got is some Early Times. It’ll have to do. Are you all doing the whole dinner thing again this year?

  5. cp Says:

    We didn’t do the traditional dinner this year — fruit salad and Good Ground sloppy joe’s were the order of the day. Whisky and poetry were in full effect, though. There will definitely be one next year, though. You and Kasia and The Devmonster should definitely come out for it.

    So Stephanie has a blog? Why am I out in the cold on this?

  7. cp Says:

    Did you not get the memo on that, Robert? I’ll bet you’re having problems with your TPS reports as well.

    Feel free to stop by! You’ll need to be my 360 friend to get to the good stuff, tho. ;) Click my initials above.
