A great word reversal is the Japanese term "ecchi", meaning . . . uh . . . kinda perverted and kinky, I guess. In any case, it is an 'Engrish' version of the letter 'H', which stands for the Japanese word "hentai" (which might be from 'hen' for 'strange' and 'tai' for 'love', but don't quote me on it). So we have a Japanese term derived from the English spelling of a Japanese word.
*whew* (a word of Sumerian origin, I think)

A haggis haiku:
Ground-up lungs and heart,
Boiled in a sheep's stomach?!?
No worse than hot dogs.

Really, what do you expect when your town's name starts with "mono"?

If properly prepared (both the haggis and you) haggis is delicious. Most folks who have never tried it have a tendency to imagine how bad it must taste. "Because, you know, its made of all sorts of icky-yucky dead animal bits!"
Well so are chicken nuggets and McRib sandwiches. Most folks just have to get over their premature gag reflex issues and just try a bite. This is where a good Single Malt Scotch comes in handy. Many Burns Dinners include plenty of peaty anesthetic to prepare the neophyte for his/her first bite.

And if they are still not ready to try it, offer them the one version not mentioned above: Vegetarian Haggis. It is made out of vegetables, not vegetarians. Not as good as the real stuff, but pretty tasty nevertheless.

Mrs. Eiler might want to put on her code enforcement hat and warn herself not to go into the building next door.

«haas, the Afrikaans word for rabbit, also means "haste."»

As well it should; in fact, I propose we import that into English as well. Imagine: "Mom said I should rabbit dressing up if we were to find any open seats"; or "my girlfriend said I shouldn't rabbit the foreplay".

The banhammer gets used enough here. We have a nice place, and we want to keep it that way.

John, you must originally be from New England! I was born and raised in Boston, Mass and we always called sprinkles 'jimmies'. When I moved to Michigan no one knew what jimmies were. Am I right or is there another part of the country that calls sprinkles 'jimmies', too?

Reminds me of a joke:

A man wandered through the desert, desperate for water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old man at a small stand, selling ties.

The thirsty man asked, "Do you have water?"

The salesman replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."

The man shouted, "I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water! I must find water!"

"Okay," said the salesman, "If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need."

Muttering, the man staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead.

"They won't let me in without a tie!"

So beautiful.

All dogs go to heaven, right after Grumpy Cat kill 'em.

Looks like fun, but for those trying to save money: always remember there is a jig you could build to do what ever you need. The only problem, is before you know it, it will be 2015, and you'll still be making a jig to help you to make a jig to make the cabinet. On a more serious note though, some people have made their own bandsaws out of scrap wood to save money (although might be cheaper to fix a second hand used one), and using this as an inspiration, it would be well within reach to make something that performs at least some of its functions if one wanted to put time into making their own tools.

Just asking myself how it would feel to be on board during unloading...
