In honour of the great bard Rabbie Burns, I request that DDO introduces Haggis into the bars and eating establishments as a meal.
Additionally a wee dram of malt whisky would make an excellent drink - but it may be overpowered as it would have to cure all hp, restore all sp, fully charge all ki, and remove all harmful effects, in keeping with the real 'water of life'.

No way should they add Haggis as a monster type, though - they are way too ferocious. A wee beastie weighing a pound or two can take down a stag in the Highlands. They would be like epic raid bosses.

As it is the celebration of the Bard tonight, perhaps bards could be allowed to play the pipes rather than the harp? - the traditional warrior-poets were as inspired by the pipes as the string thing.

And finally, please, please, please sort out the ridiculous accent of the first mate in Irestone Inlet.

Have a guid Burns Night, folks.

It is Burns Night tonight, but unfortunately I wont be marking it, this not because I am not Scottish, this is because I have not got the time to go out and hunt a wild Haggis for dinner, sorry about that.

When you address the haggis remember to use the correct postage.

Have an excellent Burns Night but successfully avoid the third degree variety ...

I'm heading down to the food court at the local mall. One of the stands there has haggis on a stick and scotch in a can. Then I'm going to come home (with a six pack of scotch) and run Irestone, taking a shot every time I hear 'three cheers for our bonny rescuers'.

And I'm going to dust off my Dwarven Barbarian tonight as well, for as everyone knows in all D+D worlds the Dwarfs are Scots, the Halflings Irish, and the Elves are an odd mixture of English and Flemish.

This is my favorite:http://www.poetry-archive.com/b/bannockburn.html , as a 3rd generation Scot-American I am proud of my rebellious heritage.

For Scotland, St Andrew, and LUNCH!
