You'll put your eye out like that!

January 19, 2009

Don't caber me bro!

I was so concerned that i was going to alienate the whole jewish race with my Hanukkah strip. Got it right; no meat and cheese on the table, right number of lights lit on the menorah. Perfect! So then what do I do...?

I insult the Scots.

Sorry, it's Robbie Williams who sings "Rock DJ". Robbie Burns is the poet who wrote such great works as "to a mouse", "to a louse", and "to a lawyer". The poet who embodies the noble spirit of the Scottish, and their tradition of writing beautiful works of english about vermin. A Scottish hero whose birthday... Internationally celebrated birthday... is in one week.

I would like to apologize for the slip. As I discovered, the very nature of my heritage, as betrayed by my name ("Appleby", wonder where that's from?) makes me a target of celtic vile and bile. So as an apology; I will dedicate my blog to great Scotsmen (and Scotswoman) until Robbie Burns day!

(that should kill a week)

First up: let's kill two birds with one drunkenly thrown stone:

 

Cheers and Jitters:

Mr Jitters
