I would think the dead like to rest in peace. Do you seriously think they enjoy that?

I feel sorry for all the vererans that Have to listen to that. I can sneak out the back, but they have to sit on the stage.
 
     
Death is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more step than there actually is. Your foot falls down through the air and there is a sickly moment of dark suprise as you readjust the way you thought things were.
 
Bagpipes sound mournful.

Until you become as ******** awesome as this guy was, you have no right to say what can or can't be played.

Obviously it's a plot to annoy you.

We have a bugle player, or at least in my experience, who plays the last post.
 
     
 
I have a feeling it has something to do with all the Scotts who live here.

Also, I love the sound of bagpipes, couldn't tell you why, by all reasoning they should be annoying as hell but they aren't.

i forget his name, but i was watching this scottish comedian who was going on about how someone said they had the worst food in the world, and then he was all, "and we also have the most annoying isntrument in the world!" he was truly an aboslutely hilarious comedian. i think i saw it on just for laughs.
 
     
 
its a matter of respect from ages past. the bagpipes have an erie sounds to them that, roomered only, the dead have a foundness of.

if you really wanna know, go to scotland. or ireland and figure it out over there. that's where i would think the answer lies.
