There's much more vigorous discussion about it at http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=741123

Don't you come boasting bout your other vigorous forums here!

Well, it's that or other vigorous things of mine, and that's not something generally discussed in front of ladies.

Just tell me where those ladies are and I'll see 'em off for you. Then we can get ratted and talk filth. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

(oops, not Talk Like a Pirate Day yet is it?)

Hey!! I like bagpipe music.

So do I.

Did you know "When A Felon's Not Engaged In His Employment," better known as "The Policeman's Lot Is Not A Happy One" fits on the bagpipes if the player just pretends it's written in treble clef not bass?

No, but if you hum a few bars I'll fake it.

Pa- dum- dum

I do have a fair tolerance of bagpipe music, I was just poking fun. :P

Although it did seem a bit odd during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

I love bagpipe music. My mother played it for me from before the time I could walk. Had bagpipes in my wedding.

Fixed that.

Just kidding, I love the pipes.

:D

actually Ran away might have been more acurate.

Hey, it's rumored this is why Scottish regiments were so effective in the charge -- the pipers were deployed in their rear, and were to strike in and play on cue.

And then there's the one about how sometime in the latest Dark Ages the Irish hit upon telling the Scots the pipes were a great musical instrument -- and they've been waiting twelve hundred years now for the Scots to get the joke. :cool:

@Shawnee:
"When a felon's not engaged in his employment/his employment
Or maturing his felonious little plans/little plans
His capacity for innocent enjoyment/-cent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man's/honest man's

Our feelings we with difficulty smother/-culty smother, when constabulary duty's to be done/to be done
Ah, take one consideration with another/with a-noth-er -- the policeman's lot is not a happy one!"

@ Zen: Seem to remember the Olympic fanfare fits on the pipes. The Kenneth Clark show Civilization's theme song definitely does. Won't even get into Beethoven's Ninth... :cool: which it does with one tweak, a substituted note.

What the ????

I'm guessing alcohol. :rolleyes:
