Have You Hugged a Haggis Today?

Feeling depressed? Is the world getting you down? Tired of making crop circles? Run, don't walk, to the nearest 'Ducks of Doom' store and buy yourself a plush toy haggis.

Here is a picture of a great big Bucyrus Erie stripping shovel, in case you want to convert your garden into an open pit mine.

Here is a really good action shot of a demolition unit smashing a pesky neighbor's demolishing a building. This one should lift your spirits.

Keep the home fires burning....
