DIE YOU STUPID RESTAURANT *ahem*

Me, I'd holler out in my best stoner metal dude voice "I wanna hear....IRON MAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

The thought of Iron Man being played on bagpipes is now giving me the giggles.

You asked for it.

XD Ok, first of all, that was awesome. Second...no, that's pretty much it. That was awesome.

"FREEBIRD!!!"

Back on topic, yeah, I can understand how that would grate on the nerves after a while. And yes, Scotland and Ireland are NOT the same!

[Marmalady]

And yes, Scotland and Ireland are NOT the same!

Indeed, the fastest way I know to make a Scots or Irish person angry is to say that they are (but then, I get annoyed when people try to say that English and British are the same thing)

[Merriweather]

While it does sound like someone has their nationalities mixed up, I'll take Scottish pipes over Irish pipes any day.

Personally, i'd rather have a nice Welsh harp. Or better yet, a Welsh Male Voice Choir.

Oh, who am I kidding, just send me Tom Jones

And a quick search on youtube gets this

KILL ME. TWO AND A HALF MORE HOURS OF THIS.

lol. If it makes you feel ANY better next year, I used to live literally at the starting point for the Southside Irish Parade. So above and beyond the parade itself and the revelry shenanigans, we got to hear countless pipe and drum corps warming up with different tunes for several hours starting at around six.

Granted, most of these were good authentic Irish bands. But the occasional high schooler learning the pipes and the mix of songs certainly lent an air of ... discordance to the proceedings.

send me Tom Jones

Just help yourself...

[Merriweather]

Just help yourself...

ok, now tell me what to use to get the iced tea off my monitor (the song stuck in my head isn't so bad).

[KiaKat]

And today? Today they've got some awful folk singer who thinks that growling is sexay.

Over an amplifier.

That projects her "voice" from the back of that restaurant all the way across the street and into my store.

[Becks]

Kia, I know it's impossible, but it pretty much sounds like you somehow are across the street from the coffee shop/bookstore I used to live above.

I'm the "black sheep" here... I love bagpipes.

and iirc the Irish do have their own version of them called Uilleann pipes (union pipes)

[Jay 2K Winger]

I don't mind bagpipes too much. I still remember when I was a teenager, we visited Disney World and visited Epcot. I think it was at the Canadian section, they had a band there called Off Kilter that had a bagpipe player. I actually did pick up their CD while we were there. Dunno what happened to it.

[Treasure]

Pepper Elf,
you are not alone.... I love bagpipes too... and on St. Pat's I played my CD in the car... but then again, I was driving downtown in the middle of SXSW where we had about 50 billion different sounds (between people, cars, stereos, live venues, emergency crews etc) all trying to blend.... and I wanted to drown it all out.... *sigh* I love my bagpipes.....

I also listened to Gaelic Storm when in less traffic

[KiaKat]

I love Off Kilter!

I don't mind pipes (either Highland or Irish). When played properly, and not entirely by themselves, they're wonderful to listen to, and a ton of fun. These guys were *not* that good, and didn't have any accompaniment, except the clapping of the "audience." Painful.
