Yum! Yum! Eat'em up! Eat'em up!

I searched around on Del.icio.us for some of my favorite flavors. Found quite a few bookmarks on bagpiping (of course! No surprises there.). Many of the sites I was already familiar with, and have used them quite a bit. I did find a number of new sites though too. It was very interesting to see just what others had to say about the sites. This could prove very useful in evaluating the information, reputability, and usefulness of the sites. Keeps them honest, I daresay!
All in all, I found Del.icio.us quite tasty! Reminds me of my Granny’s haggis. Na! Na! My Ol’ Gran’s haggis was well spoke of in a’ the glen. Every Burns Banquet or Hogmany her haggis could be found in a place of honor. Anyone who knows their haggis kens tha’ a’ guid haggis is muckle hard tae find. An’ there’s pre.cio.us little o’ it tae gay aroun’. O' Aye, Granny Maudie was said to have the roundest, firmest, jucyest haggis in all of Gretna Green...... Hey wha' yer smirkin' at! Ge' yer minds out o' tha' gutter!

I created a Twitter account and looked at quite a few Tweets. It just seemed like the Tweeters didn’t have much to say!

The Tale of the Lost Library!

I am trying to link my Library to this posting. It was not successful on the last go'round. I also tried to add it to my Bloggy site! with no obvious success either! Oh' wait! her it is now!http://www.librarything.com/catalog/pipervern

Nothing like a good Book!

Had a bit more success with creating the Library Catalog. I wish that I owned copies of all these books!

Finally! Here is the promised picture of Great Grandda! He was known for being in his cups! One day he hired a cousin, Fergus, who was an accomplished piper in the croft, to play for a muckle sad occasion. They argle-bargled aboot the price and finally settled on a bottle of Granda's finest single malt. Fergus played "The Flowers of the Forest", which fitted the occasion. When he finished and asked for his pay, Granda handed him a straw and quickley left. You will notice that the picture is in winter and the ground covered with snow. Fergus was na' fool. He scooped up his frozen fortune, picked out the larger pieces of glass and invented Scotch on the Rocks!

Cheers!

A New Pub in Town.

I thought this would be a great sign for a pub. Plenty of Guiness, lots of good music (Scottish & Irish of course). Not a bad idea for retirement!

Fed up with Feeding

I was very frrrrrrrrustrrrrrrrrrrrated with find feeds. I used each of the suggested search tools and had no luck linking anything. I was surprised that each time I was given the message "No feeds found". I assumed that we were searching sites that had feeds? Perhaps I was mistaken! Ah weeel, here's a new an' delightfu' image o' ma' great gandda'. He ne'r could ho'd his whiskey, mar's the pity!
If it was na' fa' bad luck I'd hae nane at a'! The image willna' upload.

RSS message

I have been messing about with this and hopefully having some success. After adding the requisite news feeds I started looking for some fun stuff. Blogs on history, historic costumeing, and lets not forget bagpiping!

Here is another interesting image of a rare Highland fetish. The Scots are a noted supersticious lot. This fetish was used before an upcoming piping competition. It is clad in the Tartan of the rival band and then perforated with a plethora of pointy objects (I find the safety pin to be quite aggressively used). This guarantees that the pipers will be afflicted with more than the usual tuning difficulties, several broken reeds, and leaky bags. The excessive number of pins in this instance will probably cause several hose to fall down and the bass drummer to trip while marching into the competition circle.
