Lol, apparently they scared the hell out of Crusaders in the holy land with them; why we adopted them after, if that is the case, is a little confusing perhaps... as an instrument of leasure, though they might only have become that because of our quaint notions of the past I suppose.

Lightning flashes, sparks shower, and elftown is still running!

Now that I think about it, I don't think bagpipes can play more than one tone at a time.

Well that goes for a lot of instruments actually. Most blow instruments that is.
You blow and only one sound can come out the other end. You might press two notes but you can't hear both notes seperately, you can only hear them make one sound together.

Exactly! Though I think you are mistaken a zen master with an electrician :P

so he swears a lot, overcharges, and has his butt crack sticking out of his pants?

Errr... my godfather worked as an electrician for a few years and he doesn't reunite any of those conditions :P
Nice social analysis, though ;)

:-P

ex Father in law was an electrician and had all of those traits ^__^

I dont know about the overcharges thing though. I never paid him for electrical services ^__^

Umm, maybe they come with it being the profession and not just something you do to make some money.

Ah. Neither did I, but my godfather always ahd a thing for being h9onest, so I guess he didn't overcharge either.

lovely ^__^

he can do all of those things so long as every now and again he comes up with stuff like "The weasel has a sandwich, he broke an egg and the mouse cries for silence."

Yeah, that was my reasoning. So, no chords on bagpipes, then. Poor guys.
