Blame it on my undiluted British heritage, but I have heard of every one of these, and eaten most ... one or two of which are cooked regularly at my house. And we have an opened bottle of HP sauce in the refrigerator this very moment.

Tried to order Haggis when I was up in Plockton Scotland (near the castle from Highlander) and they wouldn't serve it to me. It was on the menu, other folks were eating it but the yank wasn't gonna get any and badmouth it back in the states. They suggested mutton which actually was delicious.

Yes, I think of associations when I hear haggis...and that brings me to Eric Bogle's Aussie Barbeque song:
AUSSIE BBQ
When the summer sun is shining on Australia’s happy land
Round countless fires in strange attire you’ll see many happy bands
Of glum Australians watching their lunch go up in flames
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell it’s barby-time again!
Chorus:
When the steaks are burning fiercely when the smoke gets in your eyes
When the snags all taste like fried toothpaste and your mouth is full of flies
It’s a national institution; it’s Australian through and through
So come on mate and grab your plate, let’s have a bar-b-que!
The Scots eat lots of haggis; the French eat snails and frogs
The Greeks go crackers over their mousakkas, the Chinese love hot dogs
Welshmen love to have a leek, the Irish like their stew
But you just can’t beat that half-cooked meat at an Aussie bar-b-que!
There’s flies stuck to the margarine, the bread has gone rock hard
The kids are fighting, the mossies are biting “Who forgot the Aeroguard?!”
There’s bull ants in the esky and the beer is running out
And what you saw in mum’s coleslaw you just don’t think about!
And when the barbie’s over and your homeward way you wend
With a queasy tummy on the family dunny many lonely hours you spend
You might find yourself reflecting as many often do
Come rain or shine that’s the bloody last time that you’ll have a bar-b-que!

YouTube removed the video so you'll need to cut/paste the link. The first 4 mins tells you all you need to know...coming soon to a theatre near you. Take all necessary precautions because our "leaders" wont.

Can anyone identify the group that supposedly produced the video? At the very start (and at the very end, too), there are a few seconds in which they identify themselves but it's hard to determine who exactly they are.
I ask because while the video is disturbing in itself on several levels, it's hard not to pick up a strong whiff of anti-semitic, white supremacist, neo-nazi propoganda.
Refugees Welcome Bonn e.V. wants to comment on the incidents that happened on party on the Township on Nov. 7th and was co-organized by our group. On the party we observed that some men molested, touched and harassed women. As co-organizer we want to apologize. During the party we tried to identify the offenders and make the leave the venue; also we made announcements where we asked to stop this behavior immediately. However, these measures were not successful. We apologize for that! Those men cast a negative light on our organization as well as on all men and male refugees, who were at our party. This misbehavior does not, however, reflect the attitude of the vast majority of the refugees. But it entraps to a generalization that we do not want to follow. Single men, who do not know how to behave, exist in every country and society as well as patriarchal structures which come to light through such behaviour. However, we do not want to deny that there are cultural differencesÂŹÂŹ. But instead of just adversely pointing fingers at those who misbehave, we believe it's as important for everyone in our civil society to tackle these differences in the daily integration. Standard Leftist tactic - change the subject. Blame all men and "Teh Patriarchy!" instead of the people who committed the crime.
For that reason we will increase our efforts to give no space to such behaviour during our upcoming parties and other events. We believe it's essential to treat each other with respect and share the idea of a general equality between all human beings. That necessarily includes, akzepting a âNo", when making advances to somebody, instead of forcing your will on another person. A conservative is just a liberal who has been mugged by reality.
We as a group campaign for this. Still it has to be said clearly, that this kind of behavior is not acceptable and not tolerated in our group.

Sometimes, the herd is going to be culled by their own stupid behavior.

Wehell, in defense of the Hard Boyz, the German = EU Babes are after all their future Concubines + Sex Slaves.
Moreso iff the EU adopts Legal Sharia thanks to massive illegal Muslim immigration - GOOD 'SAFE" WE-CAN-CONTROL-THE-HARD-BOYZ-BECUZ-WE-SAY-SO PRO-SOCIALIST GERMAN = POLITICOS HAVE TO APPEASE THE VOTER BASE.
GERMANS = ARE ALL CALIFORNIOS NOW.
CLearly the answer to stop the Muslim abuse of German Babes is for Merkel = German Govt. to take away any + all German Gun Rights.
Per the thesis in this article, Champ isn't a blundering idiot, he's a ruthless ideologue who wants American to be less powerful. By that logic, his plan is working just fine.

Obama a une, strategie au Moyen-Orient, et ca marche
Bringing this article back once again to address TopRev's concerns as posted at #7 on Thursday:
#7. With respect, Besoeker, and most commenters: you are being unfair to Petraeus and de-contextual with regard to his audience, as pure an anti-national sovereignty group of Globalists as one could find in the USA. Bookings is the sanctimonious face of modern Communist/Globalist/Islam/Democrat-Republican/Progressive post-modern, deconstructed, post-nationalsm. They want USA gone, damn it, GONE, and replaced with just them as all-worthy, unquestioned "practitioners."
Ask yourself why Petraeus would agree to speak to such a gathering. He does not need to. Ask yourself why he agreed to teach for $1/year at CUNY, and get hounded by Commies.
At Brookings he was addressing THEM and their anti-American pretensions and saying what those pretentious involve practically if they are to amount to anything more than hot air and rampant misery. He said no one is going to negotiate outside a military context, aka bad guys are made an offer they cannot refuse. What is more true?
Dave Petraeus has that rare gift of seeing the large picture with all of its moving parts. He is one or two in a generation. The new CJCS may be another such. Anyhow, the gift is rare. And admiration for Petraeus in the Armed Forces, especially the Army, could not be higher.
I am astonished at the febrile expostulations of so many here and at the PJMedia original. Taking Petraeus as a regime champion, a toady, is bathetic, not worthy of these sanctums.
Being "unfair" to the General? Permit me to unpack a bit of "unfair." Unfair is presiding over, or endorsing UCMJ actions resulting in the ruin of officers and enlisted men's careers who mishandled classified documents or participated in adulterous affairs, then excusing one's own quite similar actions by simply saying "I made a terrible error is judgement, here is my check for $100k."
When examining the "large picture" the General might do well to set the privilege of rank aside and endure the penalties and hardships of his actions, as over the course of his career he has insisted others within the ranks do. That would be 'fair.'

I'll also beg to differ - Brookings is more establishment/old line/center-left Democrat than "modern Communist/Globalist/Islam/Democrat-Republican/Progressive post-modern, deconstructed, post-nationalsm [sic]."
Now if one was talking Center for American Progress, or Open Society, or even the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, that'd be a bit different. Brookings is "Establishment" and more likely to be in tune with Beltway Democrats, including the White House.
As it stands, General Petraeus didn't really break any new ground either. I don't recall anyone from Brookings decrying the use of military force. In fact, it's the opposite. What it sounded like was a "preaching to the choir;" pretty much in line with what the administration is currently doing, albeit in an ad hoc, desultory and amateurish manner.
So is he a toady, a regime champion?? I don't know. I just know what he's done in the past, both good and bad. He didn't say anything at Brookings that was earth-shattering or a revelation, he didn't say anything critical about current political and military leadership. And he didn't face the level of punishment any other officer, civilian or military, would have faced for doing what he did.

On 2 May 2011 the raid on Abbottabad and the UBL takedown was executed.
On 31 August 2011 General Petraeus trooped the line at Fort Myer for the last time during his retirement ceremony.
On 6 September 2011 General Petraeus becomes Director, CIA.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
