Apropros of nothing whatsoever, it's funny that the only ROFFian who responded to my Coltrane reference was a member of the fair sex. I don't know whether that's a commentary on the lack of taste of the males in ROFF, or Snakefiddler's good taste. :-) Chuck Vance (you make the call) |

Hmmmm. How do you guess you'd tie one? I'd guess the starting point would be the right kind of barley-based fuel. Bob |

... I can only imagine the effect that pipes skirling "Scotland The Brave" would have on a pool of trout in an Ozark stream. Back in the mid 80s, I was in a campground, deep in the mountains of Oregon. Got to hear 4 drunken bagpipers play the theme from Star Wars at 2:30 a.m. Bone chilling. Forever after the incident was named "The Rape of the Wild Wookie." How can you tell when a piper is drunk? I thought that was pretty much a prerequisite. Bob |

Or, the latter day bard asking "if the goin' up was worth the comin' down...." Or Christine Lavin offering the rhetorical quandary imposed in "The Moment Slipped Away" Maybe Riley Puckett's dilemma as he pondered gettin "that allamighty nickel changed" and remarked about his darlin weighing 400 pounds, "but she wouldn't be so heavy if she hadn't been muddy".

Forever after the incident was named "The Rape of the Wild Wookie." Frank Reid That beats any bagpipe horror story with which I am personally cognizant. Was your hearing permanently damaged? OK, OK, you lot. Be respectful. As a former member of of a Highland regiment (reserves), I will not countenance any slander of the bonny pipes. (But since most of the blood coursing through my veins is far more English than the other three ethnic groups represented, I have a certain "sympathy" for your position.) Now, have any of you miserable ****ers ever tried to march to the skirl of the pipes in a kilt? In a wind? While regimental? While armed with a Claymore? And accompanied by similarly attired French-Canadians? Only in a recurring nightmare... |

In a wind? While regimental? While armed with a Claymore? And accompanied by similarly attired French-Canadians? No. Not whilst "regimental," just slightly mental. I was, however, wear a kilt last weekend. Renn Fair, doncha know. My daughter was upset that I didn't wear the Magilla Gorilla boxers underneath. By the way, what the hell you doing with a Claymore? The Claymore was for the tall guys behind the shield wall. You ain't tall. Let me guess, the French-Canadians got it bass ackwards and put short Brits with Claymores out front? Then again, maybe for them, that might sound good. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |
