Happy Robert Burns Day, my brutes!  The annual holiday to celebrate Scotland's national poet.  For those of you who have never read anything by Burnsie, I highly recommend him.

I've some annual tricks I give myself every October 31st, some of which have been around for a long time.  Ever since I was a junior in...
