1. The pipes are the only thing protecting Scotland

from being attacked. The Arabs love bagpipes. Arab marching bands are all pipers. True fact. I saw it on the CBC.

13. I thought it was Susan Boyle.

My mistake, she's holding up the Scottish economy.

2. I didn't know about this. Frankly, if they don't give up the bagpipes, I may join al-Qaida

3. Never! I love bagpipes.

I find them soulful and emotional.

4. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

They must maintain bagpipe proficiency, but should pledge not to use them as a first strike.

5. Absolutely not!

I was researching the pipes a little while ago (Love my heritage, hate my neighbors!) and found out that a lot of the cheap, inferior practice pipes being sold nowadays are made in...Pakistan!

6. Bagpipes suck. They ruin so many weddings. I don't get the appeal.

They sound like machines farting.

12. Actually, they blow. nt

7. Only if al Qaeda abolishes ululating.

8. Bagpipes are awesome

no, they aren't meant to play woodwind concertos. They're WAR instruments (at least the great pipes are), and they do their job well.

10. But what will call Danny Boy if not the pipes, the pipes?! nt

[Captain Hilts]

11. We should encourage Al Qaeda members to learn to play the pipes. nt
