: : : : : ~~~...unless it's a piper. Love those bagpipes!:) I've always wanted to go to one of the Highland Gatherings in N. Carolina!
: : : : : Dana S.
: : : : Dana,
: : : : We've been to the Scottish games last year here in Monterey. They were pretty neat. Neatest of all was the pipes competition and then the final closing ceremony with literally hundreds of pipers marching in and out of the stadium playing their bagpipes.
: : : : Old Doc Mary is another story though......she refuses to go and calls it a waste of time. Says she payed her entrance fee and looked all day but they aren't really nekkid under them skirts.
: : : : GnomeDome
: : : Yeah, what a gyp!!! And I thought big hearty highland men
: : : wouldn't be squealing like wee girlies just because a
: : : lass checks them out a bit. What a bunch of weenies!
: : : Doc M, of the clans rrrRoss and MacGlennan.
: : : PS Hmmm...let's think through this bagpipe thing. The
: : : good ones are terrific. The bad ones sound like a passel
: : : of Siamese cats caught on a hot plate. Now a fine wild
: : : mountain-born fiddler on the other hand...now you're
: : : talkin'!!!
: : : Doc M

: : Hey, Doc M!
: : Nice to see you posting again! Did you know MohicanLand has it's very own piper poster? Yep. We sure do. If you are REAL nice they just MIGHT play a tune or two at G2K.

: Hey, you know why pipers march when they play? So they can get away from their own music!
: You know the difference between a dead cat and a piper? Most people would not back up to run over the dead cat again!

Alright! Now you've done it! That's not nice. I just hope the piper poster isn't offended!
