Check in if you're Scottish and think Saints' Days smack of Popery

[TheBaldyMan]

it's much more fun to get smashed on Burns Night. Haggis, poetry and lots of Scotch.

[LostinVA]

1. Lots of RC Scots, boyo

[Chan790]

11. I'm one. (raised that way anyways)

left "the faith" to become a Taoist.

Feast days of saints don't smack of Popery. They're an excuse to get drunk and eat food and go to church. Well...maybe not go to church.

2. I'm a Scots-Irish (lapsed) Presbyterian. Can I check in?

I like Scotch and poetry but I've never had haggis.

[TheBaldyMan]

3. welcome to the club.

I probably ate all the haggis before you got there.

[CottonBear]

4. That's OK. Just save me some Talisker single malt Scotch and I'll be happy!

:hi: Greetings from Athens, Georgia, USA!

10. My Scottish forebear was from Georgia! Tell me about the

"clearances" of the Scots from Scotland by the English. I want to know more. My ancestor, a Campbell, came to this country, to Georgia, in 1790. I'd like to know more about why he came here. Can you help me find out?

Thanks, Cottonbear!

5. I'm a proud Scot

but you can keep the haggis. After hearing how it's made and what's in it I believe I'll pass on it.

6. I like haggis.

But I don't drink spirits, so who wants my whiskey ration?

[Der Blaue Engel]

7. If it's not Scottish...

...it's CRAP!!!

:D

[TheBaldyMan]

8. I believe the correct term is 'keech'

as in "President Bush is an ape that throws his keech at visitors to the Oval Office"

It's pronounced with a hard ch as in loch

[LadyoftheRabbits]

9. Scottish and damn proud of it

But also part Irish. :7 :party:

[Burma Jones]

12. I am a Great Scot

Got one on my car too....

[ellisonz]

13. Down with Popery! Up with Parliament!

To whiggery:toast:

[T_i_B]

14. I'm not averse to a bit of Popery myself!

Besides, can't you do both Burns night and St Paddy's day?

[meegbear]

15. I'm not Scottish, but I do have a kilt ...

Douglas clan to be exact. Does that count?

[ChickMagic]

16. Aye!

Popery smopery.
