Too funny not to share!

Too funny - how to make an entrance, with a heart-warming back-story.

Prom Entrance

That's the way you do that.

I especially like that the school gave permission for it.

That's the way you do that.

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent!

 

[Greg Boeser]

What about our "Gun Free Zone"?!!!

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

That's freakin' hilarious. I especially like that one of the kids was named Sherman. I can see the conversation at the local Enterprise rental lot: "I specifically asked for an M4A3, and you gave me an M3?! My name is 'Sherman', not 'Stuart', damn it!"

I can't be the only kiltie in the group? I just about burst a gasket when I looked up the piper involved - the Unipiper.

To be plain, I heartly agree with burning any set of bagpipes, especially ones which are being played.

Yes preferably with a flame thrower.

But . . but . . they are so beautiful and soothing (as long as they are not too close), I can listen to them all day.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

I've heard dying cats that sounded more musical.

 

[Greg Boeser]

They were considered a psychological warfare device.

 

[ThomasP]

I have heard bagpipes called Scottish soul music.

I am reminded of Sean Connery's line in the D day movie.

Can hear them all day burning. Just a soft crackle and a marshmallow.

... when men of clan gather, whether to battle or to mourn .. when matching line from out the mist ... on the scurl of pipes they're borne - men draw strength and courage from knowledge - the righteousness of clan.
Amen

 

[SaparotRob]

I love that kind of stuff.

If you listen to Irish "uilleann pipes," you'll instantly notice how much less harsh and grating they sound than the Scots' bagpipes. What happened was the Irish gave the broken ones to the Scots and the Scots never caught on to the joke.
