Hi Blackbox and welcome aboard. At the very least you've found an oasis where you can let your opinions roam free. Incidentally, don't be too concerned about spelling mistakes; as far as I can see you haven't made a single one.
According to a guidebook bought on holiday in the Scottish Highlands some years ago, wild haggis can be found roaming the hills and mountains. To do this, they have evolved with the legs on one side of their body longer than on the other side, thus enabling them to stand comfortably upright on the slope (apparently they come in both left- and right-hand drive). In order to catch one, you position a partner with a net at the base of the hill, then hide in a bush in the path of your haggis and jump out at it without warning. Thus startled, it will turn to run away, only to roll down the hill into the net.
One word of caution I could offer is not to feed haggis to your dog if you have one. My most abiding memory of that holiday is lying in bed at night, with our then dog installed under the bed and pre-loaded with a portion of haggis. I knew she was there because for the entire night all I could hear was the sharp hiss of escaping gas followed by what I can only describe as nasal napalm.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
