We love to hear a good bagpipe song here at Neatorama, so that's why we've posted the music of the Unipiper, the Badpiper, and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. When you hear a bagpipe, you either think "Turn it up!" or "Run away!" There's no in between. But how does one become a bagpiper?
Apparently it's not as easy as just being Scottish, because Stuart Smillie of Great Big Story is of Scottish descent, although he lives in London now. His boss sent him to Edinburgh to learn how to play the bagpipes, which shouldn't take long, seeing as he's already Scottish, but it turns out that didn't help a bit. Neither did having his own kilt. Smillie contacted Andrew Coulter at Killberry Bagpipes, Edinburgh's last custom bagpipe maker. Did Smillie learn to play the bagpipes that day? That might depend on your definition of "playing," but he did learn a lot about bagpipes, pipers, and the kilts they wear. -via Laughing Squid

At least if he forgets the words, who's gonna know?
Also, it's spelled duct tape.
...But what a waste of talent.... - With such capabilities, this guy could be an ultimate multilinguist if there ever was one instead of squandering his abilities on rapping in a fake language...
'I will warn you that if you just don’t like the tone, beats, sound of ethnic music you really wont like hip hop in general, however that would make you a typical bigot.'
Are you serious? So if I don't like classical music does that make me bigoted against white Europeans? What a stupid statement.
I don't think I could eat the amount I want to barf.
We also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !
And that's not English ! Esperanto ? Let's move forward :)
At least Bill Shatner speaks Esperanto. Please confirm at http//www.lernu.net
