Pipers, like Marilyn Monroe, need to be careful walking over grates...

Why pipers should be careful walking over grates:

pipers and grates and breezes, oh my!

Some of the posters over on a bagpipe forum have identified the band - Hamilton County Sheriff’s band out of Cincinnati, Ohio.

So far, no one has identified any of the individual pipers.

None of this county’s deputies would look that good with breezes flying up their skirts.

Oh, look, it’s their bums. Hee. They don’t seem very concerned about the drafts.

Are they wearing thongs or free-ballin’ it?

Hmmm.

I saw the thread title and the name Northern Piper and figured this would be some sort of self-upskirt picture thread…

Note that although scots did not wear what we’d call underwear under the kilt, they weren’t “free-balling it” either (thanx Boyo). They wore a shirt with very long tails that were tucked up in a sort of breech-clout.

That pic is so cute! I’m glad the band’s not going the other direction. :slight_smile:

As Mr Bumble said, the law is an ass. :slight_smile:

The Irish gave the Scots the bagpipes a thousand years ago. And the Scots never caught on.

Dear God: Please, the next time someone starts using the bagpipes to insult Amazing Grace, could you please strike him dead? Thank you, that would be nice.

I understand that, technically, we’re allowed to wear underwear at present, there being a lady on the throne of Scotland.

Or, more efficiently:
Dear God: Please, the next time someone asks me to play Amazing Grace, could you please strike him dead? Thank you, that would be nice.
