"If it's not Scottish, it's crap!," went the tagline from a
Saturday Night Live skit a while back. The corollary,
of course, is that "If it's not MacGregor, it's crap!"

The MacGregors are a Weston Center-based offshoot of
the Crack O' Dawn Riders whose name derives inexplicably
from a joke* that had been one of my favorites long
before my association with either of these fine cycling clubs.

Earlier in December, Don MacGregor (Tom K.) organized the
"MacGregors First Annual," complete with haggis (pictured),
sausage, other traditional Scottish fare ... and scotch, of course.

Best line of the evening: upon first cutting in to the haggis, one
MacGregor quipped, "It's a boy!"

*Google "MacGregor joke," but be forewarned--it's not
exactly SFW ("safe for work").
