BTW, thanks to all those who posted that linky to the Burns Wikipedia page.

VirginiaTam, please help a "Yankee*" out. What do Robert Burns, WB Yeats, and a Dylan Thomas have in common. Are they all Scots? (I'm embarrassed to show my ignorance). And why would that "that.. really set em off"" (Them being the British)?

* I never really though of myself as a "Yankee" before, though I have always live in the Northern part of the USA, so I guess that makes me a Yankee. Although I guess in the UK, anyone from the USA is a Yankee, right?

I know these comments are thread drift. But a little bit of thread drift doesn't necessarily hurt a thread.
