Every time I see bagpipes I always think of that "hhhHRRRRRRRRR" noise and it makes me laugh.
Yuri909
I call it the mating call of the Scottish Moose. I don't know why it makes non pipers laugh but it does.

Fergus? Fergus.

Why is the dudes in the background killing the other dude with a huge wooden stake? Did he come in last? Or is it more of a struggle cuddle?

Way to lay some pipe!

Learning to pipe is on my bucket list!
screamingwinemaker
You've definitely got that piper face down!
Yuri909
Aye haha I was also trying to not lose focus when my bandmate started taking pictures. I wasn't happy in that moment.

The song of my people
FutureVillain
As a musician who's learned guitar, bass and drums. Pipes were fucking hard as hell and frustrating to learn. I haven't played in years tho.
Yuri909
Did you have an instructor? It's one of the few instruments you really can't self teach.
FutureVillain
My grandfather who is still in a pipe band and my uncle.
Yuri909
Excellent
wrknsmart
Dammit, I like bagpipes!
scich99
I'm a snare drummer for my local highschool. I have never placed. Congrats!

Yuri909
North Carolina sadly.

Can't stand the music but I do admire the skill. Actually the older I get the better it sounds.
Yuri909
I would ask if you've ever truly listened to *good* bagpipe music. Although I've found that still doesn't help some people.
wallace3240
Yes I have. It's still not my favorite but it sort of grows on you the more you hear. I prefer bagpipes over Chinese opera. Does that help?
iusedtobeaspyuntil
Why aren't mini kilts a thing yet??!!
Yuri909
They are. They so are. Omg the minikilts.
sunnycyn
You look absolutely awesome. Congrats!!
Yuri909
Thanks! :)

As a fellow piper, rock on!
Detectivesteakmcbeans
Yo showin up to represent BCPA. On my way to the Worlds tomorrow
Yuri909
Fucking ace brother, good pipes and good tuning to yas!
SamuraiChemist
Stephen Fry leads me to believe that many pipers eventually go on to suffer from tinnitus. Any comment about that?
Yuri909
Yes. But I already had it. I've had some frequency loss but I already had congenital loss before that. I have some awesome earplugs though.

As a fellow WUSPBA piper, rock on!

Yeah brother! +1

Yuri909
Whoah, that was quick fellow piping bro! +1 Wouldn't happen to be in EUSPBA band would you?
queas
Nah, just we're a street band. Certain members are just too grumpy to compete, heh.
Yuri909
For shame. That's how you get better!
Idonthaveausernamesowtfever
My dad was a drummer in a pipe band, mom did sword dancing. Her current husband was the pipe major. Congrats and keep it up.
Yuri909
Thanks! +1 :) I just started Fling and Sword actually. I want to know what's going on in the dancers' heads when I play for them in future.
Idonthaveausernamesowtfever
I'm assuming '1 2 3 4, 1 2 2 d'oh' But I could be wrong
Yuri909
Something like that. I'm seeing a different side of the coin. They don't understand us any more than we them it seems.
Idonthaveausernamesowtfever
That's possible. I remember watching my mom when I was younger. good memories. Same with watching my dad on the practice kit writing music.
FLATBUSHZ0MBlE
Yes, it's a bit of confusion and differences on both ends. Am a Dancer from Aus and competing regularly. Great to see this stuff on Imgur!!
Ruswal
A lady walks up to a Scotsman wearing a kilt and asks "Is it true that you don't wear anything underneath that?" the Scotsman replies (1/2)
Ruswal
"Aye it's true, would you like a look?" so the lady lifts up the kilt and exclaims "that's gruesome" the Scotsman says (2/3)
Ruswal
"Look again I think it grue-some more" (3/3)
Yuri909
Oh dear hahaha
rippen10
On to the real question... what's under da kilt, ya tease?
thatduckingguy

Yuri909

Yuri909
Normally lipstick but I've been single since spring. +1
emguhraeb
how bout you show me whats under the kilt and we'll talk about changing that to taken?
curmudgeonlyoldfart
another memorable response is "10 lbs of swingin' thunder!"
chinablue
Show me a gif of you eating big bowl of HAGGIS then I will be impressed.
Yuri909
Haggis tends to come on plates haha. It's pretty good.
chinablue
Pfft next you will be telling me people enjoy eating tubes of ground up pig anus's, chicken intestines and cow nut sacks, IE, hotdogs.
Yuri909
I prefer them on sticks covered with fried cornbread.
Syninfection
bagpipes are great after they've warmed up, but that warm up is bad enough to kill small animals at a short range
Yuri909
I had an amazing warm up though. Got Very Goods for my drones and chanter balance. I was so happy.
Syninfection
im Biased since my brother tried to learn how, and i nearly strangled him to death after one weekend, he now plays a sax is excellent at it
Yuri909
Yeah your first few months learning to tune can be awful. Did he have an instructor? Seems like a lot of pipers played sax - I did!
Syninfection
yes he did but it didn't help, he explains that its saxier (i tried to kill him again) but i play the piano and guitar so we called it even
bluecollarbiochemist
Know why they call it a kilt? 'Cause they kilt the guy who called it a skirt.
doomguykenobi
TheRealBertyz
You'd artichoke a man for saying such a thing!
DownWithYouAll

Id do you, no homo. And if you want to wear a skirt some days thats fine too :P.
Yuri909
Actually it's a belted plaid feile mor or breacan feile . A kilt is a tailored garment known in Gaelic as feile beag which got pop in 1700s.
Yuri909
What's worn beneath? Shoes commonly. Although lately I've found Chacos are amazing.
chefchris357
You're welcome to look, but you have to kiss what you find.

I wear lipstick under my kilt
1metalnation
The only thing a true Scot wears beneath his kilt is lipstick, on a good day, multiple shades
happybunny88
If your cock ain't dangling under your kilt your wearing it like an Douche unless you have a small one then it a funny thong with
happybunny88
A bit of stuffing

Just one. A Sgian Dubh, tucked into your sock, or kept in your Sporran.
