As often as I peruse the Fanart thread, that one is no stranger to me. jwhouk suggested it, Shadowinthelight made it, practically the start of the Waps/MLP ponies...

Ah. Didn't know. I've pretty much given up on the Fan Art thread; i'm not reading any of the fiction, so i forget to check for Other Stuff as often as i ought.

Why do I not remember those??? I'm pretty sure I visited the fanart thread just as regularly back then back then as I do now ...

That's too bad. Those guys are writing some seriously captivating stuff!

Sometimes I look back on my stuff and wonder what I was on at the time.

Is that a rare glimpse into the hippie brain?

That would be any appropriate image for William Shatner. "This is your brain. This is your brain, on rugs."

It would explain so much...

One of the odder things I've ever seen: a Jordanian trio, in local dress, playing Scottish bagpipe music in the Roman theatre in Jerash.

Unfortunately we came upon them near the end of their set, so I only had a few moments to video them.

How is that odd?

It was Thursday morning. Jordanian bagpipe bands normally gig at the Roman theatre in Jerash only on Tuesdays, after lunch ("The cosmic time of the week when everything gets done", according to Dan O'Neill).

I guess these guys were rebels against tradition.

Jordan, Scotland, Rome?

Bagpipes are so soothing at six am...take that, you beer soaked, porridge brained frat boys!
Play your ghettoblasters at window rattling volumes at two, and I'll chase yer hangovers with a good ole dose of bonny Scotland at six!

I implement it at least twice during football season, and during Spring Break if the morons forgot to save up for a Cabo/Cancun/Miami Holiday.
The smart dispatch tells the on call crew that it's "Pissed off Mom vs. Hungover frat boys" so that it takes forever for them to get to me, and I have just enough time to vent and turn it off.

The Arabs and the Palestinians are crazy about bagpipes. They have them all the time at weddings and parties and whenever else. There are probably more bagpipers per square meter in Jordan than there is anywhere outside of the British Isles.

Don't forget to boost the treble... and if you can pipe it through an 'overdrive', go for it!
