Maybe DC's lawyers should take note...

Hope this kid kicks Gates a$$. I hear he got him self a pro-bono lawyer who has been waiting to take on Microsoft. Take heed DC ,, this should be your wake up call.

Snow...

is anyone as bad as MacDonalds ?

Dave Milne, Scotland

They must be really busy in Scotland with business owners of the same name. The chain is spelled Mc here, is it Mac over there? do they serve beer?

It is Mc, and they don't sell beer.

I believe they came after a little guy whose name was McDonald and who operated "McDonald's Hairdressers" for trademark infringement. I don't associate Burgers with Barbers, but the guy had to change his shop name because he couldn't afford to fight it.

They are not my favourite company...

Dave Milne, Scotand.

Come on Dave, you're really peeved because the McHaggis don't come with special sauce.

whisky and cream makes a good sauce for haggis, and to date McSween's make the best haggis imo.

As for McDonalds burgers, I'll pass on those pieces of McTurd (tm) :-)

Surstromming Lutefisk Haggis Vegemite

Roughly 1/23/04 21:00, twaldr> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...haggis...

Lutefisk is dried cod that is soaked first in lye then water to reconstitute it. There's a town in Minnesota that has a Lutefisk-eating contest. I hear it's pretty vile, both in smell and taste.

I really thought you were being sarcastic, but no, just factual.

the same lye that is ... "A strong caustic alkaline solution of potassium salts, obtained by leaching wood ashes" "used as a bleach and in the manufacture of soaps, dyes, alkaline batteries"

Fish in Battery fluid ??!!

OMG.

Fermented fish so bad your neighbor's psychotic cat won't touch it.

Greasy codfish soaked in lye. Great for curing an acid stomach or cleaning out your sewer drains.

Mr. $t0we11, you are a truly sick man. I like that. The Scots aren't the only ones whose cuisine is based upon a dare. An appetiser from the Phillipines, >Balute, unhatched, fermented duckling complete with feathers, beak and feet.

Paul Calman did pass the time by typing:

Yay baloot!

Actually it isn't that bad.

Yes.. I have tried it. No, I wasn't drunk. Yes, it probably would have helped if I was drunk.

Well, if you are gonna go that route, may I suggest a meal of pickled VietNamese water bugs [big, mean suckers, capable of a nasty bite], cricket larvae, with an appetizer of goat gonads.

I guess one advantage of travelling a lot as a youth is all those opportunities to get stinking drunk enough to try the local delicacies....
