Hell, I could do that involunarily, after eating one, using only my stomach.

The only challenge I have now is the dog," says Sinclair. "If we reach the other side, the goal is for the dog to retrieve it and bring it back to me."

Sounds like he'll need my patented dog launcher, then.

Better than eating the disgusting things

"Haggis has come a long way.."
- man, truer and more profound words have never been spoken

"Haggis to fly in Calgary sky"

God help us all.

Haggis is one of the best foods ever created.

Must go, nurse doesn't like me using the PC

Isn't this prohibited by some anti-biological warfare treaty?

This Gordon Sinclair gives a bad name to the other Gordon Sinclair, the broadcaster of "The Americans" piece in the 70s, now deceased.

He's also working on a veggie haggis as well.


WHY?

This will never top Der Veiner Schlinger developed at Ohio State(?).

I beginning to think cold weather somehow has adverse effects on the human brain.

Yummy!

Since I'm to damn lazy to read the article, WTF is a Haggis?

DrDave:Imagine the Scots, never having been exposed to actual food, inventing something - er, edible on their own. And on a clear day, Scottish "edibility" standards can just barely make out British edibility standards on the horizon.

DrDave
Sheep's heart, sheep's liver, otas and barley all chopped together and stuffed inside a sheep's stomach. Boiled and served with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes).

Delicious with a bottle of Single Malt Scotch to wash it down (preferably drunk before eating).

Arse!

for "otas" read "oats"

"...Willie hears yew; Willie don't care.."

Hmmm. Why would you need to patent this device? Is there a huge, untapped market? Will companies rush to flood the market with alternative haggis propulision devices?

Note to self: Go home and watch "So I Married an Axe Murderer" for the 347th time.

You can deep fry them, which is not too bad.

Video,Video- at least show us a picture of:
exhibit a: The Haggis
exhibit b: The launcher
exhibit c: The dog

Video 1: The launch
Video 2: The launch of the dog

For the love of God, Harmonia, is there anything you Scots don't deep-fry?

er, let me think, er.......

Nothing that springs to mind no.

Bass555: There's a guy up North who was offering a full Christmas dinner deep-fried in batter last year.

If it ain't scottish...

Goatman: Outstanding!

In some of the southern States, it's not uncommon to deep-fry an entire turkey, but the haggis....

Oh ma goad a haggis launcher! Yon sasenachs are efter me. Yet they'll have a heel o' a job hitting me with as I run hither and thither in the heather.

I saw some show the other night where people had to eat cow brains. I was just sure that was too gross for human consumption. Now, I read the ingrediants of haggis, and I'm just sure cow brains are some mighty fine eatin!

Ef eunly wu'd haed a wee haggis launcher at Culloden. Ach, aye!

Let's have a contest to name the new vegetarian haggis!

No, not Tofaggis.

Great, finally we get a story on Fark about my home town. Just imagine my pride as all of Farkistan gets to read about how we hurl cow entrails over the river. Followed up by a dog retriving them. Swell.

BTW. The Bow river is about 100 yards wide in most of the city so it's gonna be quite a distance to cover.

At least someone stabbed it before it got loose!

Wacky looking town though Edinburgh. It has a big mountain with a castle on top right in the centre.

I'm imagining a terrific sport involving haggis launching and people flying around on SoloTreks.

I'd pay to see that. From a great distance, though.

I'm imagining haggis replacing the ball in Australian Rules Football

(only because it has been left unsaid)

....it's crap!

Ooooh. Quidditch played using a haggis!

Mmmm...One day I'll make the Edinburgh Tattoo...Guess I need to find a Burns Night Supper around here somewhere...

Tell me the Scots aren't a genuinely weird breed: haggis, kilts, bagpipes, Harmonia ...

On second thought, they did give the world GOLF!

... and Bobby Burns.

thank you stebain

No Bobby Burns, Robert, Robbie or Rabbie...

Beezulbob, Tofaggis is the funniest farking thing I have read all day.

. I also think it's a good thing for Calgary. We all need to be entertained."

I think you should be more disturbed by this comment The_Marq...doesn't bode well for Calgary's recreational options...

No "and france surrenders" comments? shocking

It would be far more interestng and challenging if he launched my Scottish ex husband (who is distinguishable from a haggis only in size).

Good thing he's not launching CD players. Then he'd have to put a warning label on the thing...

Ah, Scotland. Edinburgh is, perhaps, my all-time favorite city (followed by London, of course, and Chicago comes right after that. Paris ranks relatively low, but that's beside the point.) It's a beautiful city, Edinburgh, with more green than I ever thought a city could have. That's where I decided I love bagpipes, and kilts. Ooh, yeah. Some guys look disturbingly good in skirts. It's true! The castle is awesome, and so is Holyrood House. But the Scottish equivolent of SPAM is not something I'm game to try...

There you have it. Proof that I am tired and that procrastination is a bad thing... It results in posts like this...

someone should tell PETA about this...maybe they will put little orange vests on the haggis to protect it
