Wikipedia also made a second, lesser known edit: After 10 minutes the penguin yelled, "I canna take this shite no more", flipped Piper Kerr the bird and waddled off in a fit of anger.
Loved the drone sighting and the Hamster's Public Service Announcement too -- thanks for the belly laughs this morning, Debra!
Aye love the pipes - Liathach the Gaelic wonder horse does too. Nice post - perhaps I will make a shepard's pie in celebration as I am not about to eat haggis.
Little known fact/theory: Some historians believe that bagpipes originate from ancient Egypt and were brought to Scotland by invading Roman Legions.
In Italy, the bagpipe or zampogne, (not to be confused with a Zamboni)are still a traditional musical instrument, especially during processions around the Feast of St. Nicholas and certain Christmas carols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Gs3DjE_Hc
My maternal grandmother longed for a career as a professional singer. Unfortunately for her career plans, she had three children (later, a 4th, and you could also count her husband as a 5th), and she said they always acted up when she tried to practice her voice exercises. Nevertheless, she had a good voice and received numerous invitations from Bobbie Burns clubs to sing. She also was invited to sing for KDKA, a fledgling radio station in Pittsburgh, PA, because she could "sing loud."
Hello Debra, I have several cheap recorders and Flute-o-phones lying around. If I can get them together, I am definitely going to try the garbage bag trick! --Jim
Before the first day of classes at my daughter's prep school, they held an "opening convocation" in the chapel. The ceremony always commenced with a man in a kilt walking down the center aisle playing bagpipes--something I've also seen in some movies about fancy-schmancy schools. I've never known what the significance was of the bagpipes.
Thanks, Debra, another hilarious lot of images! I do like the flying bagpipes! The four musicians of the apocalypse are what I hope to hear when we all get left behind in the Rapture!
One year I’d like to celebrate Burns Night, despite not being Scottish. It must b3 good fun!
I actually enjoy the sound of bagpipes every now and again. Oh sure, I don't think I'd like it as meditation music or a backdrop for a romantic evening, but otherwise, they're fine.

ReplyDeleteIf I ever wear a kilt I will be commando. And I will go find a windy place to stand.
ReplyDeleteMy eldest son has a kilt made from a tartan designed especially for the school he attended in Scotland. He was born in Scotland too.
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at the Four Musicians of the Apocalypse that I startled Monsieur Pierre! Laughed the rest of the way through, too.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen/heard any of the Sea Shanty songs going viral, Debra? Check out Nathan Evans, a bonnie young Scotsman! https://youtu.be/u8QpbqDT7tE
@ e -- You are a psychic! My post on Saturday is going to concern that exact sea shanty! I'm crazy for it!
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteMen on Kilts!! Yes, yes, yes!
Did you know I like men in Kilts?
Oh, the memories... and I ain't talking Braveheart.
XOXO
Seeing as how I'm a quarter Scots, I'm all for men in kilts playing bagpipes :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely celebration.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Deb!! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. These are hysterical. I especially love the "don't get kilt" one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckles, Debra.

I tried to imitate a Scottish accent for this comment, but it kept sounding Irish, so I gave up.

Nice.
ReplyDeleteHome Improvement had an entire episode devoted to one of those Highland Games and it featured Tim Taylor wearing one commando.
Ahhh, such a great moment of fun...thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so funny, but the last one with the grass really got me!
ReplyDeleteI think the bag pipes would get more respect if they were given a more respectable name like Oboe or Bassoon.
ReplyDeleteyou still have the bagpipes record I sent you years ago?
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who played the pipes; I was one of his only friends :-)
ReplyDelete@ Jackiesue -- Oh yes, I still have it! Every once in awhile, I pull out my record player and play it! I love bagpipes.
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoy the sound of bagpipes every now and again. Oh sure, I don't think I'd like it as meditation music or a backdrop for a romantic evening, but otherwise, they're fine.
ReplyDeleteThe Wikipedia edit had me rolling!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend whose daughter was born on this day and it helps me remember her birth date, let me tell you!
